On every open day I’ve had until now this question always comes up. ‘Looks great, a Tiny House, but what does it cost?’. That makes sense, of course, if you start thinking about a Tiny House for yourself or maybe for your children; the cost is an important part of the subject. Financing a Tiny […]
The housing cooperative is on a roll
Yesterday I attended a symposium that was organised by Platform 31. The symposium was called ‘the housing cooperative is on its way’. The symposium was sold out and there was a varied program with a range of workshops and excursions. Despite the fact that it was hotter inside than outside (and it was already a […]
Learn to participate
Last week I participated in a clinic ‘Environment meets environmental law’, which was organized by Green Wish as part of the knowledge program ‘DuurzaamDoor’ (Sustainably Forward). Together with Natasja Oosterloo, also from the Tiny House Nederland foundation, I participated in order to explore the possibilities offered to Tiny House residents by the Environmental Law.

Tiny Houses for all ages
At this point, more and more municipalities in the Netherlands have put Tiny Houses on their agenda. With the municipal elections coming up, electoral programs are being announced and Tiny Houses have a place in many of them. I can only be happy about that! Unfortunately, some organizations still have a tendency to think inside […]
Hurray, a successful Jamboree!
It took six months of preparation. Dozens of volunteers were involved. No less than 15 Tiny Houses were there for people to see. And there were thousands of visitors. The first Tiny House Nederland Jamboree has taken place! And it was an overwhelming success! As the project leader for Tiny House Nederland and fire starter […]
We’re jamming like crazy
My blogging activities are at a low level at the moment. I’ve been incredibly busy these past few weeks, and I’m looking forward to taking it easy for a while. How about a vacation! That’s coming soon; I just have to hang in there a little bit. Of course it’s great that things are going […]
Running around for the Tiny House movement
What a week it was: Monique and I have given two presentations and two workshops. We might not be neighbors – hopefully in the future we will be – but we get to spend plenty of time together! My week started with a visit to Mill home this Tuesday. I’ve known Gerard of Mill Home […]
The Tiny House movement live on RTLZ
There I am, covered in a thick layer of makeup in the RTL studio in Hilversum. “Move your chair slightly to the left please”, I am asked. The makeup artist is busy with the final touches… and three, two, one, and we are live. I am a guest on the program ‘Van Liempt Live’, Next […]
Pioneering
I often see reactions on the Facebook page of Tiny House Nederland along the lines of ‘nice Tiny House but you can’t live in them anywhere in the Netherlands’. Or people expect Tiny House Netherlands to make it happen for them. Therefore, I think it’s time to clarify a few things! Ok, so first of […]
Lots of interest in the Tiny House movement in the Netherlands!
I’ve had quite a bit of media exposure recently, but this week it really took off! And not just me; Lena and Laurens are getting even more attention, especially after the publication of their article on Nu.nl entitled: ““First architecture practice for Tiny Houses established”. Dimka from tiny-house.nl was also in the spotlight with a great […]
