introduction

i first learned about tiny houses around 2017, i don't remember if i came across it online or if someone told me about it but the idea of building and owning a tiny home has been in the back of my mind for many years now

i think tiny homes can go a long way to solving the housing crisis and can allow for many younger people to have their own home at a reasonable price, which is one of its greatest appeals. affordability.

im nearing my mid twenties now and im starting to think about buying my own house but with the current state of the real estate market it will be hard for me to buy a house by myself and have a mortgage paid off in a reasonable amount of time.
Which has once again brought me back to the idea of living tiny.
Im looking into several differrent options, each with their own perks and downsides. Ive looked into Narrowboats, floating homes, Mobile Tiny homes, Off grid tiny homes etc. Theres such a wealth of options when it comes to going tiny that its almost daunting to get started.

im currently in the process of collecting inspiration and resources, drawing initial plans and looking out for opportunities.
below i'll compile a list of resources, blogs, and builders that have sparked an interest or may be helpful later on.

disclaimer that some of these resources will be in Dutch / Located in the BENELUX area since thats where i am located and looking for the short term future
