What Is a Tiny House?
While the tiny house movement is rapidly growing in the US and the Netherlands in particular, many people still don't know much about tiny houses, or the social movement they have inspired. So what is a tiny house? Real estate code defines a tiny house as a dwelling that is 400 square feet or less in floor area, excluding lofts. More generally, a tiny house is a small, portable dwelling with a minimalistic design. Because of this, these homes generally display clever ways of utilizing space. Ideally, they are self-sufficient (or mostly so) and function as full-time dwellings. While some of these homes are mobile, not all are and it is not a requirement.
