Last Friday we had a design session! Laurens and Vincent came to Oudkarspel to show me a model of my home and to continue brainstorming. Unfortunately, Lena couldn’t join us; students are pretty busy these days. Especially if you are setting up an architecture practice in addition to your studies, as well as doing all […]
Why I choose to live in a Tiny House
Recently someone asked me via www.tinyhousenederland.nl to explain why I have chosen to live in a Tiny House, versus a small apartment for example. Well, Martine, here is the answer: at your service! Of course, I can only speak for myself since I am aware that there are many other ways of living a more […]
Greetings from Groningen, and Enschede!
As I was driving back from Enschede the other day I thought to myself: I would have never dreamt of this when I first embarked on this adventure! I have been to so many new places, had so many new experiences and met so many interesting people, how rich my life is! And that’s what […]

And not just me; Lena and Laurens are getting even more attention, especially after the publication of their article on Nu.nl entitled: ““First architecture practice for Tiny Houses established”. Dimka from tiny-house.nl was also in the spotlight with a great […]
A weekend full of Tiny House meetings
It was so very quiet for a while, it seemed as if everything had come to a halt. And that made me rather jittery. I’ve lost momentum! My motivation will disappear next!
