DESCRIPTION
The American trend towards tiny houses has long since arrived here. However, the cultural, legal and geographical requirements for this form of living differ significantly on the two continents. The author provides instructions and tips for building and maintaining a Tiny House in Central Europe and presents various construction projects. Reports and interviews with numerous tiny house owners and atmospheric pictures complement the text. Anyone interested in Tiny Houses will quickly come up against questions: Where am I even allowed to put such a house? Is it warm enough in winter? Is a solar system sufficient to supply it with enough electricity? Where do I get water from and where do I put the waste water? When building or buying a tiny house, aspects have to be taken into account that don't play a role in other houses. The author and expert, who has built his own tiny house, answers all these questions in this book. He takes into account the different conditions in Switzerland, Germany and Austria.
