A few more photos of Ward Hensell’s tiny buildings. www.bodegaportablebuildings.com.

To conform with state laws of max. 8′ wide on roads, he adds the pop-outs after arrival at site. The one with red trim was added to an existing house as second story.

Tiny Homes by Ward Hensell, Bodega Portable Buildings

March 16, 2021 at 3:30 am

A few weeks ago, I dropped in on Ward Hensell, who builds tiny structures (Bodega Portable Buildings) in Sonoma County, Calif.

These are my favorite tiny homes; they are built with 1⅛″ plywood, so no framing necessary, and the pop-outs are a unique feature, both visually and practically. He says buildings this small don’t need insulation (at least in Calif. climate becuz they’re so small). The pop-outs don’t count as floor space, so you’re still within county rules where no permit is necessary for an under–120 sq. ft. structure.

Tiny Native American Baskets

I can’t remember where I picked these exquisite little baskets up. The 3 sizes are 1⅝″, 1¼″, and 1⅛″. They may be either Miwok or Pomo (both central California tribes). They’re sitting on top of our little Bose radio in the kitchen and we look at them all the time. Originally they had tiny hummingbird feathers attached to each of the beads, but they were destroyed by some kind of insects.
