Tinybox at Evergreen Brick Works
What if you could build this yourself?
Imagine your home arriving as a flat-packed kit that you and a friend can put together over a weekend.
Each component can be carried by hand and assembled by two people with simple tools. No cranes needed.
Built for demanding conditions.
Our vacuum-insulated walls help keep the warmth in, like a Thermos. We’ve even tested our building system with a flamethrower.
Survive a flood.
This structure survived a flood right here at Evergreen Brick Works. Its permafrost-inspired landing pad lets us raise and level the building by up to a foot, without drilling or pouring a concrete slab.
What would you use it for?
1 / 3Guest suite
A backyard space for family and friends.

1 / 4Office
