Tiny House as an extension to the family house

  • 3 years ago

A Tiny House is characterized by minimalism and mobility, but it can also be used in a completely different way. Because if homeowners need more space in their own home, a Tiny House is ideal as an extension. This way, living space can be quickly increased by moving some rooms out into the Tiny House. One big advantage is: homeowners don't have to move when space is at a premium, and they keep the cost of living space expansion manageable.

However, a Tiny House also needs space and so the prerequisite for this form of house extension is a suitable plot of land. This should not only be large enough, but also be designated in the development plan for the use. It is also important to ensure that the prescribed minimum distances from neighboring properties are observed. Before planning the construction, a building permit should be obtained and a soil expertise issued. This will determine the location of the Tiny House.

A strip or point foundation are the most suitable foundation types for a Tiny House. Here, steel columns set in concrete hold the weight of the new addition. If you want, you can even have a concrete basement built, which serves as an extension to a concrete floor slab. Once the foundation is in place, the addition of the Tiny House can begin. Since the interior design has already been determined in advance, the Tiny House extension is delivered turnkey on a crane. The construction company only has to take care of the water and sewage connections and lay the telephone and power lines.
