Tiny house
A tiny house, also known as a tiny home, is a type of house that is very small (up to 37 square metres or 400 sq ft).[1]
Tiny houses can stand on a fixed place, but they can also be mobile. For example, a tiny house with wheels can be transported. They may also solve other kinds of problems. They may be a way for older children to have independence, yet also stay near their parents. Sometimes the family home is too small for children to have their own bedroom. A tiny house built in the grounds of a regular property may be the solution to allowing independence whilst keeping a degree of parental supervision.
History
The tiny house movement originated in the United States.
Tiny houses gained more attention after the Great Recession, when houses became very expensive in many places.[2]
