Why Tiny Alpha Means More Than Just a Cabin
Tiny Alpha is not just a building project. It’s a story about roots, courage, and the dream of transforming a forgotten place into a vibrant refuge.
It all started with a forgotten place
The idea took shape during a visit to my paternal great-grandparents’ backyard. The yard was almost unrecognizable: wild vegetation everywhere, paths swallowed by grass, bushes covering everything. But in that chaos, there was something special — a living silence. Not an oppressive quiet, but the sound of nature: birds, leaves, and branches moved by the wind. That’s when I knew this place deserved a new story.
From idea to plans and the first tools
I looked at my great-grandparents’ old house, about to collapse, and thought how beautifully they had chosen this place to call “home.” I decided this would be the spot for my first cabin — Tiny Alpha. What followed was a period of intense planning: research, permits, cost calculations, simulations, and dozens of hours of DIY videos on YouTube.
The hardship I embraced
I believed I would finish everything in four months. Eleven months later, the cabin is almost ready — but what a journey it has been! I worked alone, without rushing, without pressure. I wanted it to be solid, safe, and comfortable. Every beam, every screw carries the marks of my effort: cuts, bruises, sweat, even blood. Every detail has a part of me.
Tiny Alpha – a place with soul
Although the construction is not fully complete, I am proud of what I’ve achieved. Tiny Alpha is not just a cabin; it’s an extension of my story and an invitation for others to live it. This place, once forgotten, is now reborn and opening its doors to those seeking peace and a connection with nature.
What’s next?
Finishing the interiors, furniture, pool, landscaping, and the official launch. Then, the next step: Tiny Beta — a new cabin, a new challenge, a new chapter. Tiny Alpha is just the beginning of a series of places built with patience and passion.
Sharing the story
That’s why I document every step with two video cameras, so the entire journey is transparent and real. Tiny Alpha is built with two hands, but it’s meant to be shared with many. Every video, every blog post, and soon every NFT will tell this story.
