From a small dream home to a finished home - 10 steps to a fulfilling life in your own tiny house

ADVERTISEMENT How do people fulfil their dream of owning a tiny house? Chris and Caro from ‘tinyon’ have summarised ten steps along the way in their new book.

More and more people are looking for a reduced, self-determined lifestyle - conscious, climate-friendly and free. Tiny houses are seen as a symbol of a new living culture. However, the path to small happiness in Germany is often associated with major hurdles: Finding a plot of land, building regulations, permits - all of this can quickly become overwhelming.

This is where the new book ‘Vom kleinen Wohntraum zum fertigen Zuhause’ by Christian Klerner and Carolin Werner comes in. The two contribute their experiences as tiny house residents, coaches and the duo behind the podcast ‘tinyon’ - in a practical, honest and inspiring way. In ten clear chapters, they accompany interested parties from the initial idea to moving into their own tiny house. In addition to their own journey, the two show how typical mistakes can be avoided and how to realise your vision step by step. Personal experience reports from the community and well-founded expert impulses provide orientation - supplemented by to-do/checklists and compact practical tips.

This book is more than just a romanticised illustrated book, but a workbook for anyone who really wants to get started. It creates clarity and provides the necessary knowledge to turn the dream of a small home into reality.
