In Tiny: A Story About Living Small, Christopher Smith sets out on a mission to build his very own tiny house in the hopes of finally establishing a home. He starts the process with the mind set that this will be a quick build only taking a few months. A few months slowly turned into a year and more money than I think he initially thought. The movie follows Christopher and his girlfriend and also contains interviews with a couple other tiny house owners.
I first heard of tiny houses on the TV show Tiny House Nation, and I was intrigued by the idea of such small living conditions. It's amazing what one can do with 200 square feet. The people building these tiny homes are very creative and good at manipulating the space in a way so that it doesn't feel, or even look in some cases, cramped.
Although tiny houses is often defined as having 200 square feet or less, the range of small houses can range from 140 to 4,000 square feet. For more details about living small or tiny, you can look at the Small House Society whose mission it is to promote awareness of the benefits of living in smaller homes.
Leave a comment below letting me know what you think about living tiny. Would you do it? Do you think you could do it?
I don't think I could do it, I love my space!
ReplyDeleteIs it just singles and couples living in these or does anyone have a family living in any?
ReplyDeleteIt does seem to be mostly singles and couples, although I believe in the documentary it showed a couple images of parents with a single child also living in such tiny spaces.
