A tiny house is a fully equipped home, usually between 15 and 60 m², that brings kitchen, bathroom, sleeping and living areas together in a smart plan. The aim is a simpler, more affordable life closer to nature, free from unnecessary space and clutter.
How did the tiny house movement start?
The movement gained momentum in the 2000s, especially in the US, as housing costs rose and the philosophy of simple living spread. Today tiny houses are chosen around the world as permanent homes, holiday homes and for tourism.
Mobile vs fixed tiny houses
- Mobile tiny house: built on a wheeled chassis and towable — ideal if you want to move.
- Fixed tiny house: placed on a foundation on your land, allowing larger plans, two storeys and terraces.
Advantages
- Faster build and setup than traditional construction
- Lower heating, cooling and maintenance costs
- A simple, free life close to nature
- Versatile use as a holiday home, office or tourist bungalow
What to check before buying
- Find out the zoning status of your land and local rules.
- Choose mobile or fixed based on how you will use it.
- Ask about insulation, chassis and window quality.
- Make sure transport, setup and extras are itemised in the quote.
- Get warranty and after-sales support in writing.
