Welcome to the World of Tiny Houses
Thinking about building your own tiny house? You’re in the right place.
Whether you’re drawn to the idea of downsizing, living more sustainably, or simply creating a home that reflects your personality and lifestyle, building a tiny house is an exciting and rewarding journey. But it’s also a big decision — and one that comes with many things to consider before hammer meets nail.
At its core, the tiny house movement is about living intentionally. It’s about designing a space that fits your life, rather than adjusting your life to fit a space. That can mean different things to different people — a cozy cabin in the woods, a sleek modern studio on wheels, or a smart, off-grid haven.
Before you start building, it’s important to think through a few key questions:
-
How much space do you really need?
Consider the number of people (and pets!) who will be living in the home, as well as your lifestyle. Do you work from home? Need space for hobbies? Love to cook? -
Where will you build (or park) your tiny house?
Zoning laws and land availability vary greatly. Will it be stationary or mobile? Urban, rural, or something in between? -
What’s your budget?
From DIY builds to professionally constructed models, the cost of a tiny house can vary widely. Planning your finances early on can help avoid surprises later. -
What materials and tools will you need?
Knowing whether you’ll use reclaimed wood, go off-grid, or incorporate smart home features can shape your design and construction choices. -
Are you ready for a new way of living?
Tiny living can mean less clutter, lower costs, and a deeper connection to what really matters — but it also comes with trade-offs like limited storage and careful space planning.
We’re here to guide you every step of the way, with advice, resources, and inspiration for your tiny house dream. From floor plans to toolkits, stories from other builders to practical checklists — consider this your cozy corner of the internet for all things tiny living.
