Why is a tiny house sustainable?

More and more people are choosing to live smaller and more sustainably. Tiny houses are gaining popularity, and for good reason. These compact homes not only offer a unique living experience, but also help you live more consciously. In this blog, we tell you why a tiny house might be the perfect choice for you.

What is a tiny house anyway?

A tiny house is a full-fledged home, but on a much smaller scale. Most tiny houses have a living area of 15 to 50 square metres. Although space is limited, these houses are cleverly designed to make maximum use of every square metre. Think multifunctional furniture, built-in storage spaces and an efficient layout. Whether you need a care home, are looking for a recreational home or just want to reduce your carbon footprint - a tiny house offers countless possibilities.

Sustainable and environmentally friendly

One of the biggest advantages of tiny houses is their sustainability. These houses are often built with eco-friendly materials and are energy efficient. The smaller size means you use less energy for heating and lighting. Many tiny houses even come with solar panels, rainwater harvesting systems and composting toilets, allowing you to live completely self-sufficiently.

In addition, a tiny house forces you to be more conscious of your consumption. With limited storage space, you only buy what you really need. This minimalist life not only helps the environment, but can also bring more peace and order into your life.

Affordable housing

Rising house prices are making it difficult for many people to buy their own home. A tiny house offers an affordable alternative. Construction costs are significantly lower than traditional homes, and you have lower monthly expenses. Moreover, there are opportunities to place your tiny house on your own land or on a dedicated site. This makes it an attractive option for starters, seniors and anyone who wants to live more freely.

A tailor-made home

Want a tiny house that completely suits your needs? No problem! Many tiny house builders offer customisation options. Whether you want an extra-large kitchen, a loft bed with storage underneath or a home office - anything is possible. You can have your tiny house fully customised to suit your lifestyle.

Tiny house as informal care home

Tiny houses are also an ideal solution for informal care. Do you have a parent, relative or friend who needs to live close by, but needs his or her own space? A tiny house in the garden can be a practical and affordable solution. It offers privacy for both parties and often complies with the rules for informal care homes.

Tiny houses in the Netherlands

Although tiny houses originated in the United States, they have now also found their place in the Netherlands. From city outskirts to rural areas - these tiny houses are popping up everywhere. In Werkhoven, for example, you can visit a tiny house showroom to see different models. This will give you a good idea of the possibilities and help you make the right choice.

It offers not only an affordable and eco-friendly way to live, but also the chance to live more consciously and freely.
