Central Coast Tiny Homes

Central Coast Tiny Homes, based in California, specializes in designing and building tiny homes on wheels with a focus on single-level floor plans and spacious living. The company was founded by a general contractor with three decades of experience in building, remodeling, and decorating homes who sought to create more livable and attractive alternatives to recreational vehicles and traditional tiny homes constrained by road limitations. Recognizing the need for accessible and affordable housing solutions, particularly for seniors and those seeking a guest house alternative, the founder experimented with different configurations and developed the patented "slide-out" mechanisms that define Central Coast Tiny Homes' signature designs.

The company offers several models, including the Mount Cerro Max Modern and the Corbett Canyon series. The Corbett Canyon Max, a one or two-bedroom model, offers 400 square feet of single-level living space, featuring a great room, a separate bedroom, and a spacious bathroom. The Corbett Canyon Studio, designed for one person, offers 300 square feet with a spacious kitchen, roomy bathroom, and laundry facilities, making it suitable for guest houses or private offices. These models travel at a manageable 24 feet in length when the double slide-out is retracted. Central Coast Tiny Homes offers a high level of customization, allowing clients to choose their preferred fixtures, finishes, colors, cabinets, appliances, and architectural style. The company strives to meet clients' expectations while considering factors such as cost, size, weight, availability, and practicality.

Second Growth Homes

Second Growth Homes, based in Alaska, specializes in the design and construction of eco-friendly cabins and small homes, particularly suited for remote locations. Founded by Sterling C Chew, the company focuses on providing accessible and robust housing solutions, with a strong emphasis on sustainable building practices. Their primary product is the "A Cabin," offered in kit form or fully constructed. The A Cabin is designed for ease of assembly, strength, and longevity, making it an ideal first structure on a remote property. The company states that a complete assembly onsite can take 3-5 days. The A-frame design allows for quick erection, with the possibility of sheeting the structure on the first day. It can also be a simple accessory dwelling unit on an existing property. Second Growth Homes targets small-scale homesteaders, employees needing housing, or those seeking remote camps and hunting lodges. Second Growth Homes uses lumber that is sustainably harvested, specifically 50-year Second Growth Timber—Sitka Spruce—from commercially clearcut stands. This lumber is both lightweight and strong. The cabins are framed with smooth-finished Sitka Spruce 3x6 beams, and the walls and roof are sheeted with 2x6 Sitka Spruce tongue and groove. The company claims this sheeting method is faster and more enjoyable than using plywood. The exposed smooth-finished spruce beams and tongue-and-groove interior create a visually appealing living space. The company offers the A Cabin in three standard sizes: 16x16, 16x20, and 16x24. The 16x20 model was originally built for Sterling C Chew's own family to use while working at their remote sawmill yard during the winter months, showing a personal investment in the product. Second Growth Homes also welcomes custom projects, offering in-house design services for those with unique requirements. Located in Tenakee Springs, Alaska, Second Growth Homes serves customers seeking housing solutions in remote environments. While the website does not explicitly mention certifications or specific markets beyond remote regions, the focus on sustainable materials and durable construction suggests a commitment to environmentally responsible building practices.
