Tiny house trend hits DC
A story and accompanying photo gallery from the Washington Post covers the construction of tiny houses in the nation’s capital.
The “tiny house” trend has been taking over the west coast for a few years. The movement to tiny living spaces aims to reduce American conspicuous consumption. The tiny houses range from 150 to 200 square feet of living space and cost around $20,000-$50,000.
Every nook and cranny of the tiny abodes has a purpose and storage capacity. Beds are often lofted above the livings spaces.
The trend has now traversed the country and is taking root in DC. In a city with very high housing prices, maybe this will be successful. Would you live in a tiny space like this?

Good example of a slide show used well. This story really needed those pictures to give a sense of what a “tiny” house is like. It is hard for people to figure out what 200 square feet looks like, but these pictures “tell” that story better than words.

While the living space is small, those tiny houses DO look appealing in terms of design. I’m sure I’d lose it after a few hours though. I liked how the pictures made you want to keep going so you could see the result of the workers building the houses.
