A supporter of tiny houses has put together a new documentary titled “Tiny – A Story About Living Small.” Read a little bit about the personal experiences behind the film and see the trailer here.
Not Christopher Smith, 30, and his girlfriend Merete Mueller who are building the tiny home of their dreams.
The couple’s house, set in the mountains of Fairplay, Colorado, is ‘about 125 square feet’ and ’19 feet long wall to wall’…
Apparently a ‘good home’ simply consists of a sitting area, kitchen, bathroom and a queen-size bedroom (set in a vaulted ceiling that makes space for a loft).
‘The interior looks a lot bigger than the exterior,’ Miss Mueller told ABC News.
Not only is their new home economical in space, it’s also energy efficient and runs on solar power and has a composting toilet…
Mr Smith was so inspired by the miniature buildings he visited that he decided to make a documentary about the project called Tiny – A Story About Living Small.
Visit the official website for the documentary here. I’ll have to get my hands on this when it is released.
