Cabin
The Timber Ridge
240 sq ft · 1 bed · 1 bath · Pitched roof with exposed beam interior. Built by a couple in Oregon over 6 months.
Curated tiny home designs with real build photos, layout design tips, and step-by-step guidance — no guesswork, no dead links.
Basecamp is different. Every blueprint comes from builders who've actually picked up a drill. We include real build photos from completed projects — not just CAD line drawings — so you can see exactly how a kitchen peninsula looks finished, how a loft ladder mounts, and what the bathroom actually feels like at 3am in January.
We also cover the hard stuff: WA state permits, trailer specs for the Columbia River Gorge, off-grid water systems, and the layout tricks that make 200 square feet feel like 400.
Every design has been built in the Pacific Northwest. Tested in real weather. Approved by actual inspectors.
No generic renderings. See the finished build — furniture placement, materials, trim details, light at 6pm.
Space-maximizing tricks, storage stacking, multi-purpose furniture, and off-grid utility guides written by people who live tiny.
From minimal cabin to modern flat-roof — each design includes full blueprints, material lists, and photo documentation from the original build.

Kitchen, sleeping, and bathroom should never be in a straight line. Stack wet zones (kitchen + bath) on one wall — shared plumbing means half the pipe run.
Every 12 inches of wall height above 7 feet is wasted space in a standard plan. Use it for long-term storage, book shelves, or a narrow loft for gear.
The minimum head height for a usable loft is 32 inches under a slope, not 30. Get this wrong and your loft becomes a glorified shelf.
If your tiny home is trailer-mounted, your max width is 8.5 feet legal. Every other dimension — interior layout, furniture scale, hallway width — flows from that number.
