84 Lumber goes minimal
84 Lumber has revamped one of its tiny house offerings to better accommodate customers choosing to live a minimalistic lifestyle.
The pro dealer’s Degsy model is a contemporary, single-level structure model that has been enhanced to include additional storage, custom elements and more living space for those who prefer simpler, smaller homes.
At 160 square feet, the Degsy boasts the essential amenities of a full-size house in an open, modern space. Among the key features are oversized windows to provide ample natural light, a larger bathroom with water-efficient shower, and an open floor plan with an easy-to-access sleeper sofa.
The updated design also features a raised kitchen with a butcher-block countertop and built-in cutting board, an Energy Star refrigerator, electric cooktop, and an island for additional food prep.
Additional elements of the house are high ceilings, solid-wood floors, and sufficient room for eating, working and lounging, 84 Lumber said.
“We really focused on storage in the newly designed Degsy,” said Thom Kuntz, director of merchandising at 84 Lumber and head of the company’s Tiny Living program. “The new layout is designed to provide that while also ensuring occupants have enough space to be comfortable and do different activities.”
Since 2016, 84 Lumber’s Tiny Living program has attracted more than 20,000 visitors to its tiny houses at outings across the country. In addition to the Degsy, the company’s other models include the beach-style Shonsie, the rustic-style Countryside and the cabin-style Roving.
Based in Eighty-Four, Pa., 84 Lumber operates more than 250 stores, component manufacturing plants, custom door shops, custom millwork shops and engineered wood product centers in 30 states.
