Our journey ends with a style of home with real appeal to anyone looking to keep costs down: the tiny home. A pintsized property generally comprises no more than 400 square feet (37 sqm).

The ‘tiny home movement,’ as it has been culturally dubbed, began in the late 1990s and early 2000s, and since then has grown into an enormous industry populated by high-end architects, designers, and DIYers.

Tiny homes are viewed as an accessible option for those looking for affordable home ownership.
