Tend Building’s Tiny Drop is a Teardrop Trailer and a Tiny House on Wheels

Tend Building is a small local business in New York

Tend Building, a quaint New York-based business, crafts artistic structures with a firm commitment to eco-friendly materials. Their ethos? Design with a purpose to inspire.

Architend isn't just an architecture firm; it's a melting pot of community design, and research and development, all dedicated to the forefront of regenerative design.

In a collaborative effort, they've woven their expertise into a charming concept that's bound to evoke strong feelings – you'll either fall in love or be left craving more.

Enter The Tiny Drop: a fusion of a teardrop trailer and a tiny house.

It raises the question – has science pushed the boundaries too far, focusing more on the possibility rather than the prudence? The outcome is a 150-square-foot, 8,000-pound hybrid that challenges conventional design norms.

Tend Building is a small local business in New York that creates artistic structures while trying to stick strictly to environmentally responsible products. They say their designs aspire to inspire.

Architend is many things, including architecture, community design, and research and development firm. They say they are primarily focused on leading-edge, regenerative design.

Together they have channeled their powers to make this cute stitched-together concept that I suspect will leave you either loving it or wanting more.

The Tiny Drop is both a teardrop trailer and a tiny house.

Perhaps science has gone too far, too busy with whether or not they could instead of if they should. The result is a 150 square foot hybrid that weighs 8,000 pounds!

As someone who loves this idea, I can recognize that it may not be for everyone. However, as you would hope, advanced home sealing technology along with a fresh air system and a water heater does atone for a bit.

The interior also looks great, and that's the most important part. This is where you see a lot of those recycled materials in use from Tend Building and Architend. It just looks homely!

The kitchen is simple, but it does have a sink and a two-burner stove. A hearty chunk of countertop space is evident as well, with a desk on the other side.

A bathroom makes up the only other room inside and with it a composting toilet and water basin.

A short trip up the ladder takes you to the bedroom loft with double skylights.

The Tiny Drop is a prime example of creativity unperturbed by restriction. I suspect it won't be for everyone, but you must admit it's a bold design to devise.

For those who appreciate innovation, the Tiny Drop is a testament to how advanced home sealing technology, a state-of-the-art fresh air system, and an efficient water heater can compensate for the compact space.

The interior is where the Tiny Drop truly shines. Utilizing recycled materials from Tend Building and Architend, the space exudes a warm, homely vibe that's instantly welcoming.

The kitchen, while modest, is fully functional with a sink and a two-burner stove, complemented by ample countertop space and a convenient desk area.

The bathroom is the home's other main room, equipped with an eco-friendly composting toilet and a practical water basin.

Ascending the ladder reveals the cozy bedroom loft, bathed in natural light from the dual skylights above.

The Tiny Drop stands as a bold statement in design, proving that creativity can flourish within the smallest of footprints. It may not cater to all, but its audacious approach to tiny living is undeniably admirable.
