Tiny Homes

How does a family of 5 fit into this tiny home?

Kyle and Katrina Christiansen live with their 3 children (and a 4th on the way) in this tiny home. Why? They used to own a 'real' house but chose to sell it and pay off their student loans. And they have designed their tiny home with a lot of living, including separate 'rooms' for everyone and even space for the children's pet snakes! 

they even have room for two pet snakes!

In an era of housing shortages, more and more people like Kyle and Katrina are finding it ironic that new homes are getting bigger while the number of people who live in them is getting smaller.  So they have done something about it, choosing the freedom of a mobile tiny home to live and go where they like. 
Examples like this in Canada show that tiny homes can be stylish, comfortable and warm in any climate. And they fit more harmoniously in with nature than larger homes tend to. 

We at Pzazz Building are sometimes asked to build tiny homes such as this one as an alternative to additions and extensions to existing homes.  With the right planning and design, council consent can be obtained quickly and cost-effectively. In some  cases, you don't even need consent. Talk to us about your ideas and requirements.

Like a bach or crib for holidays and relaxation? People are discovering the benefits of tiny houses – they are more economical to build, require less maintenance and can fit neatly into smaller or more difficult properties, like this one, which cost less to buy.


Like to start generating passive income from a rental, but can't afford to buy another house? If you have room in your backyard, a tiny house could be just the thing for a tenant – potentially even a family of five! (No snakes, though.)


A tiny house on your section could also come in handy as a way to give your teenager, elderly relative or visitors some privacy and independence away from the main house. Our you could use a tiny house as a workshop, studio, office or man/woman cave.
