Lloyd Kahn, Tiny Homes on the Move

Tuesday, August 5, 2014 - 7:30pm
Explore the magical world of mobile tiny houses with green architecture pioneer Lloyd Kahn, a Santa Cruz favorite! Meet a young French woman who sailed 1,500 miles from Europe to the Canary Islands with no engine or GPS; a family of four who sold their home, got rid of high mortgage payments, and fixed up and moved into a school bus; two ski bums who use their pickup truck/camper as their winter home; an English artist who built a tiny home on the back of a 1959 French army truck. Along with 1,100-color photos, Tiny Homes on the Move is a colorful, creative display of some 90 tiny homes here, rolling on the road or floating in the water. About half of them are lived in full-time; the other half are used part-time, for trips of varying lengths upon life’s highways and waterways.

This event includes a 45-minute slide show presentation by Kahn, featuring these and many more wonderfully inventive vans, campers, house tucks, school buses, trailers, sailboats and houseboats created by amazing craftsmen.

Lloyd Kahn is the editor-in-chief of Shelter Publications and author of the 1970s classic Shelter, as well as Home Work: Handbuilt Shelter, Builders of The Pacific Coast, and Tiny Homes: Simple Shelter. Kahn lives and works in small coastal town in Northern California.
