The Projects

The events are the engine; the projects are the output. Tiny Hacker House turns hackathon energy into things that exist in the world — field-built housing, geodesic domes, civic-tech apps, and the design groundwork for entire small-home villages.

What follows is a working portfolio: some of it is built and in the field, some of it is planned development clearly labeled as such. All of it shares one throughline — using community-driven building to take on homelessness, affordable housing and gentrification.

Where housing is heading

Field-built housing at Tiny Hacker House sits at the intersection of tiny-house construction, geodesic building and large-format 3D printing — the same technologies reshaping affordable housing nationally. This look inside one of the largest 3D-printed neighborhoods shows the scale the sector is moving toward, and the context the workshop’s own printer and dome work are built against:

The villages it seeds Plan

The most ambitious thing Tiny Hacker House is designing isn’t a single structure — it’s a way of building neighborhoods. As the design and community engine behind two joint-venture concepts with WholeTech, the workshop is translating its live/work incubation model into planned developments:

• Small Home Village Plan — a small-home community concept applying the tiny-footprint, shared-infrastructure model at neighborhood scale.
• Alpine Village Plan — a companion village concept extending the same design principles to a different site and setting.

These villages are planned concepts, not finished places — we label them that way on purpose. What’s real today is the incubation model that seeds them: the shop, the live/work community, the events, and a founder with 300+ built events behind him.
