There are a growing number of companies and design firms that offer consumers the ability to buy their own tiny home, but the PAD 'Bunk Box' takes a different approach with a DIY house.
The PAD (Portland Alternative Dwellings) 'Bunk Box' is based on a 16-foot trailer and provides 125-square-feet of living space within as well as an additional 72-square-feet of sleeping space.
Instead of providing DIYers with the parts and components to construct the DIY house, the PAD 'Bunk Box' is simply provided in the form of plans. Users can make use of the construction drawings and electrical plans to create a dwelling of their very own. This enables a variety of different customized features to be implemented.
