Hey there! My name is Mike Spooner and I build unique tiny homes and camper conversions with a focus on thoughtful design, careful craftsmanship, and building science fundamentals. I’m based in southern New England where I’ve had my own 8.5’ × 24’ tiny home, ProcessHouse, since 2020—a DIY build I started in 2016.

Feel free to get in touch with me at moc.sgnillewdnoopsaet@renoopsm.
