TINY HOUSE MOVEMENT

The Tiny House Movement is an architectural and social movement that advocates downsizing living spaces, simplifying and living with essentials.

There are various reasons for people living in a Tiny House:

- Rethink what they value in life and decide to put more effort into

strengthening their communities.

- Healing the environment.

- Spending time with their families or saving money.

The Tiny House Movement is a return to houses of sizes less than 1,000sq ft. Frequently, the distinction is made between 400sq ft. and 1,000sq ft. and less than 400sq ft. with some as small as 80sq ft.

Tiny House power grids are typically sourced from solar panels which decreases the amount of publicly produced energy necessary to sustain the house. Tiny Houses inevitably require less energy consumption to support the owner. As a result, people living in Tiny Houses typically limit the accumulation of materialistic items. The limited space of a Tiny House insists that owners sacrifice the idea of abundant materialism. It also allows house owners to re-evaluate their personal habits.

The concept of a Tiny House reflects all aspects of the chosen lifestyle:

A minimised space necessitates minimal consumer spending while the limited amount of surface area provided decreases the rate and level of energy consumption.

With the Great Recession hitting the world's economy from 2007 to 2009, the Tiny House Movement attracted more attention as it offered affordable and ecologically friendly housing.

Tiny Houses are also used as Accessory Dwelling Units (ADU) to serve as additional on-property for aging relatives or returning children, a home office or as a guest house. Tiny Houses are built to last as long as Traditional Houses,
