Here at The Tiny Life , we ’ re always brainstorming ways to make tiny house building easier for people . One of the biggest hurdles in the building process happens before you even pick up a hammer : choosing a tiny house plan . There are so many different plans out there , and they ’ re scattered all over the Internet ; we wanted to fix that . We decided to pick our favorite plans , put them all in one place , and make it easier to help you find the plan that best fits your needs . We selected the houses on this page based on two main criteria : the house must be on a trailer , and it must have been built at least once before . We ’ ve found that plans that have actually been built is a major differentiator , because it is in the build process that the plans can be refined , errors identified and fixed , and actual photos can be taken so you have a better idea of what to expect . It is for this reason that we can only recommend plans that have houses built , because they ’ ve actually been tested and proven . While all the houses have these traits in common , they come in all different shapes and sizes , and they feature different layouts and amenities .
