Recent Additions

Tiny Home Construction

  • In late 2024, I began building my own tiny home—a personal project designed in collaboration with a professional draftsman I know personally. The plans were developed to meet all relevant building regulations, and I’ve followed them closely throughout the process.
  • I have worked mostly alone using entirely my own tools and I have learnt a lot about certain construction processes and pain points
  • The project has not only strengthened my practical skills but also reinforced my commitment to craftsmanship, problem-solving, and building with long-term value in mind.
