Tiny Dwellings in Portlandia? (video)

The IFC show Portlandia has garned lots of attention in Portland. It even inspired a fan contest in which Portland residents submitted their own ‘Portlandia’ inspired videos.

This hilarious video submission showcases one modest attempt at tiny house design. While not directly about ADUs, there is a larger house in the background, so the tiny house in question may qualify as an ADU—-if it could pass local building codes.

We have Twitter evidence that Carrie Brownstein, one of Portlandia’s co-stars, is in the Tiny House rental market herself.

The logical follow up question would be whether Portlandia’s Season 3 may include a clip about tiny houses. However, we at accessorydwellings.org would challenge Carrie and Fred to leap frog directly to a piece about ADUs. 🙂
