Tiny houses have many benefits that you won’t get from building something massive. There is a lot less maintenance associated with owning something smaller. You also pay significantly less in property taxes. You can get away with buying a small and narrow lot to build on. Not everyone needs 3,000 sq ft or 6 bedrooms, for that matter.

If you desire to be energy efficient, choosing a small design is a great idea. It means your utility bill is significantly smaller than a house 2 to 4 times the size.

It’s especially if you live in an urban setting where land prices are incredibly high.

One-story or 2-story?

You need to make many important considerations when building a home. One of them is how tall the house should be. Our most popular options on this page are one-story options. We also have 2-story homes that are perfect for building on a small plot of land. Both options have their unique advantages. The former is more accessible for individuals with limited mobility. You won’t have to struggle with climbing stairs when going to your bedroom. In contrast, the latter offers more privacy in the bedrooms. Many homeowners appreciate people can’t easily look in through the windows.

Mistakes to avoid:

  • Underestimating the amount of space your family needs
  • Neglecting light
  • Neglecting the need for outdoor space
  • Not incorporating multi-functional features

Wooden

With or without an attic?

Attics are great spaces that can provide you with additional storage options. When you consider whether 1000 square feet may be too small, you can choose an option that includes an attic. When you choose to go with an attic, you should know that you are forgoing the flat roof. Some families find that feature very appealing. You will have a space a teenager will love to have as their bedroom if you remodel the attic. It is a unique space they can retreat to.

With or without garage

It is better to realize beforehand whether a garage is an important feature for your future home. Whether you want a garage or not is something you need to think of as you choose the design. A garage can serve many of the same purposes as an attic. It is a reason they’re seen as alternatives to each other. The advantage of a garage over an attic is that you can park there. It is also more accessible, which is important if you spend a lot of time working on projects. Such handyman projects are not possible to do in the attic.
