Tiny House, A Big Movement in USA

The standard size of a tiny home is 100 square feet to 400 square feet (Stephens & Parsons, 2018). The International Code Council, a domestic trade group, usually states that a house must have at least one room of a 120 square feet and that no habitable room can be smaller than 70 square feet (Wilkinson, 2011). Typically, tiny homes are one-fifth the median size of new single-family homes built in 2015 (Sillin, 2017). Compared with homes built in 1983, where the average square footage was 1725 square feet, homes today have increased in size by more than 50% (Stephens & Parsons, 2018).
