This 210 Square Foot Tiny House Was Built By Kids During Summer Camp.

By SnugShack Design, Living

Over 50 school kids joined with local and national organizations to build the Minim tiny house during a school summer camp. They did a great job!

The Key School is an independent Pre-K through grade 12 school located in Annapolis, Maryland.

This past summer, fifty Key School students got the chance to build their very own tiny house alongside military veterans, building experts, and teachers at one of Key School’s summer camps.

The team had only three weeks to complete the project, so this was quite the quick tiny house build.

The home is based on the Minim House by Minim Homes.

It’s 210 square feet and cost roughly $70,000 to build.

Along with Maryland non-profit SustainaFest, several other companies and organizations helped support the project. Here’s a list of some of the main contributors:

  • American Cedar & Millwork – donated Marvin windows
  • M&F Builders
  • Stanley Black & Decker
  • Standard Solar – provided solar power system
  • Annapolis Painting Services
  • SKA Studios
  • Connected Warrior Foundation
  • U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service
  • Mountainfilm
  • Living Classrooms Foundation
  • and even the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation
