With the current state of the New Zealand Housing crisis, buying or building a Tiny House to live in is becoming more popular. Many Tiny Houses are built on a trailers , meaning you can transport them around, so you can lease the land it sits on.
Tiny Houses in NZ obviously do not suit everyone. They may only suit people during a certain period of their life. For example they are popular with younger people who don't yet have children. Or single people who want to live an alternative lifestyle. Many people set them up in rural areas so they can live a more healthy lifestyle. But often people will eventually outgrow their tiny house. After that many have a second life as airBNBs and temporary accommodation.
They are also often setup in urban areas on a small plot of land, such ad in a parents garden. People in a tiny home are forced to have less things.
Tiny Homes allow people to experiment with the design of spaces, materials and systems. Some Tiny houses are build very cheaply with low cost or free materials. While some are build with expensive high quality materials that may normally be found in a high spec NZ house. There can be a massive difference between the cost of different Tiny Homes. Some Tiny Homes are build as a module, allowing more and more modules to be added over time as people need more space.
There are some fantastic examples of Tiny Houses in New Zealand and New Zealand and around the world. This popular YouTube channel called 'Living Big in a Tiny House' showcases people living in Tiny Houses in New Zealand and around the world. It is a New Zealand YouTube Channel so is more heavily focused on New Zealand Tiny Homes.
