What is the concept of a tiny house?
A tiny house is a small-footprint home—typically under 400 sq ft—designed for full-time living with minimal waste. These homes prioritize efficient use of space, low energy consumption, and, often, mobility. Many are built on trailers and legally classified as RVs or park models in North America. Globally, zoning and legal standards vary, but the lifestyle focus is similar.
The tiny house movement has grown in response to rising housing costs, environmental pressures, and demand for simpler living. Whether it's a backyard home in Australia, a modular unit in Japan, or an off-grid retreat in the U.S., the goal remains the same: compact livability through smart design.
Clever Tiny Homes reflects this ethos with factory-built, full-time-ready models. All layouts are single-level. Each plan centers on a real main-floor bedroom, a fully equipped kitchen, and a proper bathroom. Built on wheels, they meet ANSI 119.5 RV standards and are engineered for legal use in RV parks, private land (where allowed), and resorts.
How many people can fit in a tiny house?
Most tiny homes are built to accommodate one to four people. Globally, 100–400 sq ft homes can work for solo dwellers, couples, or small families—when floor plans are intentional and compact furniture solutions are used.
In the U.S., lofts are often used to add sleeping space. In contrast, Clever Tiny Homes takes a main-floor-only approach for better accessibility and comfort:
- Clever S (26 ft studio) – Murphy bed layout, ideal for 1–2 adults; priced from $79,995
- Clever 1 (38 ft park model) – Private queen bedroom, full kitchen and living area, fits 2–4 residents; priced from $129,995
All models are road-legal, single-level, and available in mirrored layouts (door on driver or passenger side) to suit your site orientation.
What are the characteristics of a tiny house?
Tiny homes are compact but complete. A good layout includes all essential zones—kitchen, bathroom, sleeping, and living—within a space-conscious design. Global best practices emphasize energy efficiency, functional storage, and adaptability to climate.
Clever Tiny Homes delivers on these characteristics with durable, factory-built models:
- Kitchen: 12′ quartz countertop, 2-burner induction cooktop, vented hood, fridge, and microwave
- Bathroom: Full-size shower or tub, standard toilet, and vanity
- Sleeping: Murphy bed (Clever S) or main-floor queen bed (Clever 1)
- Climate Control: Mini-split HVAC, rigid foam insulation, vapor barrier, and double-glazed windows
- Construction: RVIA-certified, built on trailers using SPC flooring, LP SmartSide, or corrugated metal siding
Unlike many builders, Clever offers no lofts, no customization, and no unnecessary complexity, just well-designed homes made to live in.
