The tiny houses movement is an architectural and social movement that advocates for downsizing living spaces, simplifying, and essentially living with less.
According to the 2018 International Residential Code, Appendix Q Tiny Houses, a tiny house is a dwelling unit with a maximum of 400 sq ft of floor area, excluding lofts.
The term tiny house is sometimes used interchangeably with “micro-house”.
