Years after experiencing one of the greatest financial disasters of our time the future of tiny houses keep looking better and better because of the low demand lifestyle that comes with living in a tiny house.

The future of tiny houses keeps getting brighter because more people every day are gaining interest in a simpler lifestyle. And this is because it makes sense financially, environmentally and even spiritually.

The tiny house movement didn’t emerge from a single moment — it grew from a network of passionate individuals who were building, documenting, and sharing their experiences long before tiny living hit the mainstream. This collection highlights three of those early voices, each of whom played a distinct role in shaping the movement as we know it today.

From Derek “Deek” Diedricksen’s wildly creative micro shelters built for as little as $200, to Dee Williams’ seven-year journey living in her own tiny house, to the documentary filmmakers who set out to capture it all on film — these stories represent the grassroots energy that made tiny house living a cultural phenomenon.

  • Size: Smallest professionally-made caravan available
  • Tow Vehicle: Electric mobility scooter
  • Purpose: Minimal mobile shelter
  • Construction: Professional build
