What is Tiny House?
The history does not stop repeating. The huge, smart, quite warm houses we live in in the middle of the cities have now become narrow for us due to various and understandable reasons. We are in pursuit of nature again. Inspired by Marshall McLuhan’s approach of “The medium is the message”, we are looking for a new medium according to our new needs. Long story short: Tiny House, in other words, the “small house trend” advises us a lifestyle with which we can be more intimate with nature, living in smaller houses, in a less costly way. According to this, the sizes of Tiny Houses vary between 10 and 30 square metres. These houses only serve our real needs with a useful design. Some find alternative names such as “micro house”, “house on wheels”, etc. suitable for Tiny Houses.
Rewind the date: What is the origin of the concept of Tiny House?
This time we will not rewind the date back too long; we are travelling to 2007: The concept of Tiny House is attributed to Sarah Susanka, an American architect and the author of many bestseller books. Sarah Susanka’s book “The Not So Big House” published in 2007 is like the constitution of Tiny Houses. The Tiny House trend, which was born as a response to the increasing search for housing alternatives in the USA with the 2008 crisis, has become an accepted option as it is both economical, environment friendly and sustainable.
Tiny House as an accommodation alternative
An Afghan proverb says that the feet always go following the heart.
Having a Tiny House for your own is possible by building it if you can, or having it built by an expert. There are many new enterprises that build and sell Tiny Houses, for which a short Google search will be enough. Another step to consider while making a selection: Will your house be stationary or on wheels? Both have advantages and disadvantages that may vary according to the lifestyle. While you are taking your time to think, let’s continue.
