tiny homes

Compact living spaces

Tiny homes are very small dwellings, typically under 400 square feet, embraced as an alternative to conventional housing.

The movement emphasizes minimalism, affordability, and reduced environmental impact.

Tiny homes may be built on foundations or on wheels for mobility: They sold their suburban house and moved into a tiny home.

The term often carries connotations of intentional simplicity rather than mere poverty.
