Our Tiny (Toilet) Home Project

Making a statement about living tiny in a big city.

Raising awareness for our urban micro-living solutions with the world's first porta porta potty tiny home. The OBH porta-home is a surprisingly inviting living space built out of a wheelchair-accessible porta potty, featuring an entirely off-grid trailer rounding out the home, including soft exterior walls and a rooftop garden. And it's being lived in to test it's efficacy.
