David Latimer: To provide people with a rich life regardless of income; one of experience, one in which the most important things in a person’s life can become part of daily living instead of being relegated to nights, weekends, and holidays. We design the most beautiful, impeccably constructed tiny homes that make great design and meticulous craftsmanship attainable to a wide range of people.

AD: What are the benefits of owning a tiny home?

DL: The constraint of living in a tiny house is liberating, not limiting. It can allow you to reduce your carbon footprint, simplify your life, greatly decrease expenses for utilities, cleaning, and maintenance, and offer great design. They are also a readily available solution for the affordable housing crises in cities throughout the country.

AD: What are the most important things to your team during the design process?

DL: First and foremost we work to understand our customer, including their needs, hopes, desires, and goals. With a tiny living space, every inch must be put to utilitarian use. Therefore, a person must understand how they actually live, and we must understand how best to maximize the efficiency, functionality, and aesthetic value of a home. We believe that form and function are not mutually exclusive and we do not compromise one for the other. We strive to create original, unique designs both in appearance and functionality.

AD: Tell us a little about your Alpha Tiny Home.

DL: The Alpha Tiny Home allows its owners to downsize and upgrade. It provides many of the amenities of a home six times its size, like an eight-by-eight glass garage door, drop-down deck, eight-person dining room table, a loft big enough for a king-size bed, a full-size bathroom with a jacuzzi tub and shower, and full-size kitchen appliances.

AD: What makes it different than other tiny houses?

DL: It is beautifully singular in its aesthetic. It’s unique in its multifunctional furniture and fixtures, its open floor plan and immense amount of glass, creating an expansive feeling that is unmatched among other tiny homes on wheels. Contrasting textures and styles create an interesting, compelling, and engaging feel that is neither too crowded nor too sterile.
