Finally! Tiny home subdivisions and developments are becoming a reality.
In November 2014, city council members in Walsenburg, Colorado, a crossroads community located 90 miles south of Colorado Springs, eliminated a longstanding zoning code prohibiting buildings smaller than 600 square feet. They wanted to make room for so-called tiny homes, the trendy structures that have become popular with everyone from millennials to baby boomers seeking simpler, less cluttered lifestyles.
Tiny homes are often mobile, but Walsenburg’s intention was not to provide year-round RVers a place to plant their Astroturf welcome mats and satellite dishes. Instead, the town wants to attract new taxpaying residents with permanent structures connected to local utilities. Before Walsenburg, only one other town in America had done away with its square-footage minimum: Spur, Texas, a small settlement about 300 miles east of Waco.

HOUse Beautiful: From The Inside, This Tiny House Feels Like a Giant Home
As longtime fans of the tiny house movement, we’re constantly impressed by the way these humble abodes maximize space—or rather, lack of space. At first glance, this cute little home is quite the charmer (that fold-out porch!), setting our expectations high for design. But step inside, and you’ll be shocked to find this tiny house feels like anything but! Check it out at: House Beautiful and Country Living
Great article, however, my name is not Dough…. sigh
Construction Dive interview
Doug Schroeder, a 20-year veteran of the homebuilding industry, is considering making a big career move. Or rather, a small one.
Schroeder founded Alabama-based Timbercraft Tiny Homes late last year as a side project to his main homebuilding business. But he quickly discovered the demand for tiny homes was stronger than he ever imagined. And now, he has tentative plans to shutter his traditional building business — which typically pulls in about $700,000 in annual revenue — to focus exclusively on the tiny structures.

Littlethings.com review by angel chang
There are many fantastic tiny home designs. The idea behind these wonderful homes is almost always to create a sustainable, minimalist, yet comfortable living space.
Personally, I have many favorite designs — but the latest one that I’ve come across has probably the most breathtaking interior I’ve ever seen. It is simplistic, yet very sophisticated.
Designed by Doug Schroeder, an experienced builder from Timbercraft Tiny Homes, the home is equipped with advanced electrical features.
Its built-in kitchen and drainage system allow for great flexibility in travel. And while it has a sturdy frame and several modern features, it is the interior that creates a beautifully calm, intimate atmosphere.
So far, the firm has built just a few of these unique, cottage-like tiny homes. But it is planning on delivering the best living experience for its customers by collaborating and customizing with them to build truly special homes.
