A lot of time went into the design and construction of this miniature dwelling – and it shows – with almost every inch of the 140 sq ft (13 sq m) of floorspace used to its full potential.

The construction of the Toybox Tiny Home began almost a year ago and it was completed earlier this month.

"The build itself was a long process," the 22-year old Henderson told Gizmag. "It involved building the house in two parts in order to pass under the door height of our original building space. Then we towed it to an air hanger in DeKalb (75 miles west of Chicago) in the middle of winter and worked on it in 0 degree temperatures. It finally ended up in a driveway in Lake Forest, where we were able to finish it out in the spring. We built while designing, so it took much longer than expected."
