The decision to go tiny is all about setting priorities, according to tiny house architect Bruce Faris. “A lot of people think just because they are simplifying by going tiny, it’s easy,” Faris, an architect with Modern Tiny Living in Ohio, said. “It’s not always easy, but it can be if you keep your priorities in mind.” That means taking a long, hard look at your current lifestyle and setting realistic goals and expectations when moving from the relatively large space of a traditional multiroom house or apartment into a dwelling that may only be a couple hundred square feet. “People need to remind themselves why they want to live in a tiny house,” Faris said.
