Learn to build a space-efficient, sustainable Tiny House! Students learn the basics of carpentry and woodwork.
Carpentry and woodwork
In this course you’ll learn how to build small, healthy houses. You’ll get fundamental training in carpentry and woodworking, and you’ll learn to use both modern machines and traditional handtools.
Sustainable materials
Some materials are bought second hand, and we also find bits and pieces at the recycling station. Our goal is to build houses that are inexpensive, sustainable and comfortable to live in.
Joist Construction
The main focus is on joist construction. We start by drawing and designing our house. Then we’ll start building! We’ll build a frame, set up walls, then beams for the roof. We’ll seal it from the wind, put a roof on, put in windows, insulate, and install side paneling. On the inside we’ll set put up paneling and moulding.
That’s how you’ll learn about all the processes and parts of the house. Whether you want to build your own house in the future, or just be a bit better with your hands, this is a good line for you.
Most of the houses we build will be stationary. There will be some theory about mobile houses, but the focus is on stationary tiny houses.
Classes are held in Norwegian/Danish, but English speakers are welcome to apply. We will translate key point as needed, but we expect you to learn Norwegian.
