Benefits of micro house plans Real estates are expensive these days. The bigger they are, the more money you pay. Obviously, that is why we focus on smaller and significantly more affordable housing, the tiny houses. Several advantages are coming from the values of the philosophy behind the popular tiny house movement. Such small houses are easy to build and even easier to maintain. The tiny house blueprints are not expensive, and you usually do not need building approval, so the whole construction process is more time-efficient. Downsizing your living space into tiny home floor plans gives you an opportunity for low-cost, simple living in a more efficient and environmentally friendly space. A lot of people see this as a way to freedom. Presentation of one of our experimental prefab tiny house: Built with three people in less than three hours! Another possibility how to use our tiny house floor plans And other reasons to get yourself a tiny house? It still seems like a nice thing to have a cozy small house somewhere in the beautiful countryside, if not as a permanent residence. For weekend getaways, as a vacation home, a place with a roof over your head to gather for hanging out with your friends is away from all the noise and hustle of a busy city. Peace, in compliance with nature. It can actually work just as well in your backyard. If you wish for that extra relaxing place for your private moments, need an additional socializing space next to your living-room, do not have enough storage area or your children are really keen on having their “own little house.” There are many options for making use of a small wood house and our tiny home floor plans. Video presentation of one of our micro house plans: Built in less than a month! Our tiny house blueprints We are architects, who are very intrigued by the tiny house movement and specialize in micro homes, tiny home floor plans, and small house plans for sale. We offer a wide range of tiny house blueprints. Most of them come with a front porch, outdoor fireplace, and other important facilities. You can choose from different sizes and tiny one-story tiny house plans and builder plans to bigger ones with more rooms or tiny houses with loft. The micro house plans are simple and comprehensible to anyone. They are not the probably most well-known RVs – movable tiny houses on trailers, but for permanent construction. However, some of them can be moved without too great difficulties, for example, the tiny houses on the skids. We also have houses on piers or different types of simple foundations. All of them come as tiny house plans that very accurately describe the entire construction process. You will find detailed instructions on building a tiny house, including precise measurements in both metric and imperial systems and a list of all materials needed for your small wooden house. Among our variety of micro house plans for sale, cabins, cottages, sheds, or playhouses, everyone can find something for themselves. They were all designed to create a cozy, warm, and relaxing environment where you can have some happy times. So please choose your favorite, get the material, and your journey to your own DIY tiny house according to our tiny house blueprints can begin!
