Our Verdict

Tiny House Design Part 1 offers a comprehensive introduction to the field that's part informative tutorial and part long-form guide. While some subjects would benefit from deeper exploration or updated information, the course demonstrates good command of numerous topics, making it an appealing choice for anyone considering designing, building, or living in a tiny home. This 101-level foundation serves as a solid starting point before diving into Parts 2-4.

Some information seems outdated or confusing, specifically regarding certain terminology related to trailer control systems.
