There's a grassroots movement in tiny homes these days. The real
estate collapse, the economic downturn, burning out on 12-hour
workdays - many people are rethinking their ideas about shelter -
seeking an alternative to high rents, or a lifelong mortgage debt
to a bank on an overpriced home. Homes on land, homes on wheels,
homes on the road, homes on water, even homes in the trees. There
are also studios, saunas, garden sheds, and greenhouses.
There are 1,300 photos, showing a rich variety of small homemade
shelters, and there are stories (and thoughts and inspirations) of
the owner-builders who are on the forefront of this new trend in
downsizing and self-sufficiency. You can buy a ready-made tiny
home, build your own, get a kit or pre-fab, or live in a bus,
houseboat, or other movable shelter. Some cities have special
ordinances for building "in-law" or "granny flats" in the back
yard. There are innovative solutions in cities, such as the
"capsules" in Tokyo.
If you're thinking of scaling back, you'll find plenty of
inspiration shown by builders, designers, architects, dreamers,
artists, road gypsies, and water dwellers who've achieved a measure
of freedom and independence by taking shelter into their own
hands.
