Discover the inspiration and reason behind the design
The National Association of Realtors estimates that the average cost of a single family home in America is $270,800, which costs the average family 33%+ of their income. Tiny homes, on the contrary, can cost as little as $23,000, if built by the owner, and as much as $100,000 if it’s done by a professional builder.
The local organization Tampa Bay Tiny Homes is designing dream homes for local residents. Their team has been in the construction business for more than 20 years; they just made the move from Atlanta to Tampa this past year. The concepts for their first four builds seem plucked straight from fairy tales. The units make efficient use of shelving, small upstairs compartments, narrow sinks and a concealed bedroom area.
