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.

It started as a sketch on a pad of paper. Then it was a slightly more detailed sketch on a bigger piece of… View More
