Reddit reviews The Big Tiny: A Built-It-Myself Memoir

Hello, and welcome!

There are a ton of floorplans and pictures of tiny houses, the tiny house blog (linked on the sidebar) is a great resource.

Unlike the house you posted, most tiny houses are on trailers. I don't think the documentary went into this, but the reason for it is due to legality; most places have zoning laws that prohibit permanent dwellings under a certain size. By being on a trailer, a tiny house is technically an RV and can bypass these restrictions (and property taxes!) Plus, they're mobile, if traveling is your thing.

By far, the most common style for tiny houses is the craftsman look, as popularized by Jay Shafer of Four Lights Tiny Houses. My personal favorite designs are the Minim House and hOMe.

If you're interested in a great memoir on downsizing, check out the recently released The Big Tiny by the amazing Dee Williams.
