Team MAX™ shares some initial ‘work in progress’ photos of one of our recent Tiny Home builds in progress: The Victorian Prepper™
MAX™ Victorian Prepper™
MAX™ Victorian Prepper™ incorporates RAY-CORE™ Structural Insulated Panels (SIPs). Why? Simply put, SIPs offer superior structural and insulation properties. At MAX™ Tiny Homes, we use the most current, effective, and efficient commercial and residential construction technologies and techniques to achieve superior results for our clients’ exacting needs, requirements, and specifications. That’s why we call our designs “Tiny Homes on Steroids™.”
Another unique aspect of MAX™ Victorian Prepper™ is the Mansard Roof. The Mansard Roof is a style characteristic of French renaissance architecture, and it is uniquely elegant. Mansard roofs were revived and popularized by French architect, François Mansart. Our custom design is a recessed Mansard Roof with parapets and a flat top. The parapets and recessed flat top of this roof are sealed with a 50-year product: GacoRoof®.

MAX™ Victorian Prepper™ – Custom Recessed Mansard-Style Roof With Parapets For Rainwater Collection (Installation in GacoRoof® Silicon in progress)
GacoRoof®’s 100% silicone formulation is designed to stand up to whatever the elements dish out. Silicone will withstand areas of ponding water without softening, bubbling, peeling from the substrate, or breaking down.
This purpose of our custom roof system design is to capture rainwater (we installed a drain on the roof that delivers the collected rainwater into a spigot on the side of the home, near the front door). This custom design empowers the owner to filter the collected rainwater for personal consumption. This custom roof design incorporates a 1/2″ slope, so the water flows directly to the drain to avoid any standing water issues. Although the depth of this custom parapet roof is only 3″, at that depth, when multiplied by the length and width of the roof, this custom roof system will actually hold up to 300 gallons of rainwater! To safely accommodate that load, we beefed up the roof system by placing the 2″ x 6″ studs/rafters in the RAY-CORE™ Structural Insulated Panels (SIPs) at 16″ on center vs 24″ on center. This is just another cool feature that we added for our “MAX™ Victorian Prepper™” client!
MAX™ Victorian Prepper™ – An evolving interior design. With all of our custom designs, we work very closely with the owner to incorporate her design specifications and requirements. Our overarching goal with the MAX™ Victorian Prepper™ is to meet (or exceed) those design specifications and requirements.
*Note: The photo gallery of our design/build project reflects both the initial elements, as well as the requested revisions as they unfold. We think this design when complete will knock your socks off!
We’ve been building Tiny Dream Homes since 2012, and we think MAX™ Victorian Prepper™ is going to be one of our best projects!
