Apart from being cozy, durable and super portable, it also comes with several bells and whistles of green building.

The Salsa Box Tiny House measures a meager 96 square feet. Despite its small size, it is still large enough to house a queen sized bed and many storage spaces, creatively placed to maximize the available space. The Salsa Box Tiny house was designed to be used as a nature retreat for any one looking to live as one with their environment without leaving a huge footprint.

The Salsa Box Tiny House is fitted with a full 30 Amp RV hookup and an RV water connection. It also features a fully functional, mini tub/shower combo, which takes up about 8 cubic feet of the interior. The bathroom is also equipped with a flushing toilet. The Salsa Box tiny house can also be modified to be completely off-the-grid and is built to withstand a variety of weather conditions, such as those found in a desert, mountains, coast and elsewhere. It is well insulated using dense pack insulation resulting in walls with an insulation value per inch of R 3.8.

The tiny house also features a small living or green roof over the house. It measures 2.5 feet by 8.5 feet and is made up of rough sawn cedar and a metal pan. It is large enough to be used by the owner to grow some of their own vegetables.
