Small Home Living:
Liberating, Not Limiting.

Small home living is a growing phenomenon in Florida, across America and around the world. Some refer to it as a social movement. Custom small homes come in many different styles and sizes, traditionally starting with footprints around 360 square feet. They can be constructed and placed on permanent foundations.

Small house living is about many different things for different people. It might be about the freedom and adventure of living simply and affordably; reduced financial concerns with less “stuff” and more time to enjoy life. For some, it’s a chance for home ownership and building real equity instead of wasteful apartment rental payments every month. For others, small homes serve as ideal rental property investments (think Airbnb), Accessory Dwelling Units, home offices or mother-in-law suites. No matter your reason for desiring a tiny home, one thing is certain: they are anything but limiting.

“Decided to get started on my Small House journey and they were so informational and the builds were very impressive when I toured their building. They gave me a starting price and once I get my down payment saved up and my loan figured out, I'm moving forward with them in the build. 100% trust them to build me the best quality small home out there :)!”
