Malissa and Chris Tack did one of the first tiny house builds to be fully documented in photographs every day. I remember poring through their daily time-lapses to figure out how they did certain things. Their beautiful design included dormers in the loft, which inspired my tiny house and countless others. Melissa is here to tell us the story of her tiny house journey and how the house has continued to support their family as it has grown.

Malissa Tack

Malissa Tack lives in the greater Seattle area where she designed and built her tiny house in 2011 with her husband, Christopher Tack. The Tiny Tack House as its come to be known, was a loving home for the Tacks for 4 years, before deciding to purchase property of their own for the little house to sit on. Currently, The Tiny Tack House is helping inspire others and give tiny house enthusiasts the chance to “try tiny” before embarking on their own tiny house endeavors.
