Tour the Tiny Toybox Home

The one-of-a-kind Toybox Home is the result of two guys running into each other at a Chicago reclaimed materials store. Frank Henderson, a music student, met Paul Schultz, a designer, and the two decided to design and construct a tiny house where Henderson could live while in school. It was created with the concept that home should be a fun place inspiring creativity while also providing peace of mind. The home’s exterior features include an energy efficient thermoplastic roof plane (TPO), natural cedar siding and colorful corrugated fiberglass.

To open up space and avoid the cramped and cluttered experience associated with many tiny home designs, furniture in the Toybox Home has multiple uses. For example, the sofa boxes double as storage containers and can be rearranged to serve multiple functions. 

Here, the sofa cubes are arranged against the walls to free up floor space. They can even be configured as a bed.
