Author Your Tiny Home Narrative: Where Efficiency Meets Intentional Living
Smaller Doesn't Have to Mean Less.
What Is a Tiny Home?
There isn't one universal definition of a tiny home.
The term can describe homes that are:
- Built on a permanent foundation
- Built on a trailer or chassis
- Constructed on-site
- Factory-built
- Designed as accessory dwelling units
- Used as primary residences
- Used as second homes or guest accommodations
Those differences matter. Construction type can affect zoning, permitting, financing, insurance, utilities, taxes and where the home can legally be placed.
So the first question isn't simply:
“How small do I want to live?”
It's:
“What type of tiny home am I actually considering?”
