Why tiny homes?

The demographics are changing. American demographics have shifted from a family of four to a one and two person household. 35% of all American households are with a single head-of-household. With the baby boomers approaching retirement and more professional single folks in the market place, we expect the demand for quality, smaller, custom housing to skyrocket. It's a trend that needs to happen. People are asking themselves: "how much (living space) is enough?"

Whereas size is relative, we have also found Americans have become obsessed with BIG. From super-sized to jumbo in most everything, including housing. But not everyone wants, needs, or can afford a JUMBO home.

In looking around, we realized that folks in our society can choose from huge, mini-mansions that are larger than they really need — or can afford, on the upscale, versus cheaply made starter houses and plastic single and double wides on the lower end. There is little available housing that is small, yet high-quality, built with individual class, and personality.

Most folks love tiny houses, cabins, cottages, and bungalows — not only because they are so adorable, but also because they are so functional and personal. We define tiny houses as any full-featured, smaller home from about 300 square feet up to 1,000 square feet. Cute, cute, cute!

We include these examples to show the way tiny houses can look and be used.
We are currently building tiny homes, such as the ones below, for residents of Rockbridge County, Virginia.

For nationwide customers, we offer the log cabins that are featured on our home page, or at our link Tiny Homes for Sale. The log cabins are designed so they are easily transported.

The Weekender
The Weekender
This home is one of our tiny home styles whose footprint is 12 feet x 24 feet, and is a full-featured cottage with a kitchen, bath and sleeping loft. It has cedar siding and a cedar shake roof. It boasts hand-made shutters, window boxes, and a custom octagon stained glass window on the upper side.
In back, double French doors open to the large deck that brings the outdoors in. The deck literally becomes an outdoor dining room in good weather.

It is super insulated for long-term energy savings. Built to exceed code with 6" studs.

Bed & Breakfast Expansion
Below is another example of a bed and breakfast cottage we built in Tryon, North Carolina. The roof pitch, color and style matches the larger main house up the hill. The inside is of pine with custom matching cabinets. The deck has built in seats to maximize space and provide safe and comfortable seating. This little B&B house rents for $175 a night, and... includes breakfast.

Sunblock House
This 1,000 square foot house is situated for optimal solar gain in the winter and has shade trees along the south and west to help with summer cooling.

Inside are hardwood floors throughout with heating coils winding underneath the flooring. No cold feet in this house. The spacious wrap-around deck is a wonderful place for parties, or to sit quietly watching the world go by.

The red doors, and other house features, utilize feng shui - the Chinese art of geomancy.

The Campbell’s Combined Work Shop and Garden Shed
Danny and Cindy Campbell contracted with the Tiny Home Company to build a 450 square foot tiny house “shed” in their back yard to use for hobbies.

Cindy’s passion is her gardens and landscaping, and she keeps their house and grounds looking like the feature home in a national garden tour. Danny loves woodworking and the various projects Cindy lovingly assigns him.

The design for the shed was partly driven by some gorgeous circle-top custom windows.
Even though the tiny house is small, it is a good size compared to the Campbell's main house. The tiny house is designed very well allowing lots of natural light. The high vaulted, wood paneled ceilings also add to the character of the house.

"We simply needed more hobby space, that’s why we had the tiny house built. I call it my garden shed and Danny calls it his workshop. And as far as sharing the space, the line down the middle is much more my side than his."

Terri’s Home

Tiny House Company™ built a single story tiny house for Terri Bsullak, measuring 20-feet x 30-feet. The 600-square foot house cost around $35,000 to build at the time of construction. (This home would now cost, in 2006, $75,000 to $85,000 to build.)  As a single woman and social services worker, a tiny home is affordable and is all Terri wanted.

Terri’s house has a large living room/dining area/kitchen measuring 20-feet x 20-feet, and the bedroom and bath area measuring 20-feet x 10-feet.
"I then started looking around at places to buy, and I knew I couldn’t do a lot of the fixer uppers that were in my price range. It was very difficult looking, and looking, and looking. I would find a place and think it might be a possibility and then it was sold already, or something would happen. Then someone suggested that I build. I initially thought, I’d never do that. I had never lived in a brand new house before. And then, at some point I was reading the news paper, and there was this thing about the Tiny House Company™. And I thought, yes, that’s perfect! That’s what I need!"

"My total home is 20’ x 30’ (600 sq. ft.) When you first walk in, this big main room and kitchen is 20’x20’, 400 sq. ft, so it doesn’t seem like a tiny house. It doesn’t seem small at all. I have lots of windows, so again it’s very open and bright."

"My home has high ceilings. It has a tiny little bedroom and a tiny little bathroom. It was a long process to get the design that I wanted that would work. I had some ideas, but I didn’t know if they would work until Tiny House Company, Andy Lee, helped me figure that out. We came out with the design in the end that just worked out perfectly."
