Tiny-house movement

The tiny-house movement is an architectural and social movement promoting the reduction and simplification of living spaces. According to the 2018 International Residential Code Appendix Q, a tiny house is defined as 'a home with a maximum floor area of 37 m2 (400 sq ft), excluding lofts.' Often called with 'micro-house,' this movement is associated with cost-effective and simple living. Proponents suggest it could offer eco-friendly alternatives within the housing market and serve as a transitional housing option for homeless individuals. People join the movement for various reasons, including minimizing waste and reducing living expenses.
