Tiny houses in USA

Tiny houses in the USA — from the desert Southwest to the national parks.

The USA is considered the birthplace of the modern tiny house movement. From the deserts around Joshua Tree via the national parks to the coasts, there is a huge market for vacation and rental concepts, carried by a strong outdoor and road-trip culture.

For concepts in the USA, the regulations that vary greatly by state and municipality (zoning, building codes) are decisive. We plan units to suit the location and work with local partners for permitting and setup.

Why USA?

  • The birthplace of the tiny house movement
  • A huge market with a strong outdoor culture
  • Popular short-term rentals (e.g. desert retreats)
  • Spectacular landscapes and national parks

Law & permits

Building and zoning law in the USA varies greatly depending on the state, county and municipality. What is permitted must be clarified individually for each location with local professionals.

Renting & performance

Occupancy and income are not guaranteed and are highly location-dependent. This is not investment advice; legal, tax and visa questions must be clarified individually.
