Student-Built Tiny Home Showcases the Future of Skilled Trades
Located at 16201 Highway 9 in Breckenridge, Tiny Home 3 serves as both a featured Parade entry and the 2026 Parade of Homes box office location. Built by Summit High School students in partnership with Colorado River BOCES EPIC program, the Summit County Builders Association, and Careers in Construction Colorado, this home represents far more than efficient living — it is a full-scale workforce development project built from the ground up.
Inside, the home features a thoughtful layout with a bedroom, living area, kitchen, bathroom with shower and laundry, vaulted ceiling, LVT flooring, custom skip-trowel drywall, and smart storage solutions. Closet Factory Colorado contributed a Murphy bed, entertainment center, and storage cabinetry, helping maximize function within a compact footprint.
The kitchen, designed by Aspen Grove Kitchen & Bath, includes GE appliances, a gas range, dishwasher, microwave, refrigerator, washer/dryer combo, and an on-demand Rinnai tankless water heater.
Built with 2x6 construction, closed-cell foam insulation, Milgard casement windows, a standing seam metal roof, prefinished wood tongue-and-groove siding, cedar trim, and shiplap accents, Tiny Home 3 reflects quality construction inside and out. The home is also fully wired as a smart home by The Other Guys Technology, with radiant electric cove heaters, Wi-Fi, speaker and television wiring, and a 200-amp electrical panel.
Each year, more than 1,500 volunteer hours from SCBA members and local tradespeople go into one student-built home. Through this process, students gain real-world skills, confidence, and industry connections that can lead directly into careers in construction.
More than a home, Tiny Home 3 represents the future of the building industry — giving students real-world construction experience while highlighting the value of skilled trades education in Summit County.
