SHELTERWISE MITERBOX HOMES are 150 SQUARE FEET EACH

SHELTERWISE OFFICIAL SITE - TINY HOMES   Derin Williams is the inventor.

"To make this possible, almost everything in The Miter Box serves a dual purpose. The kitchen has a hydraulic dining room table that converts into a bed, while a “wet bath” is designed as both a shower and lavatory with a flushing toilet.

These design choices make the house feel bigger, which is especially important in a space the size of some people’s closets.

“We are bombarded with buy, buy, buy,” Williams said. “If you limit your living space, you have to make smart decisions about what to fill it with.”

After visiting Africa with his wife and seeing how people live with less, Williams was inspired to design more space- and energy-efficient houses. To keep building costs down and make his designs portable, Williams’ tiny homes are also on wheels.

“People just keep asking us to put them on wheels,” he said."

OUR QUESTION IS, does the design makes this house on wheels different than living in an RV when it comes to parking it and the police?
