In a little while, the residents of the brand new Tiny House street in Hardegarijp can move into their beautiful Tiny Lofts from Mill Home. After months of preparation, meeting the authorities, aspiring residents and neighbors, the houses have been placed. The street will be officially opened at June 12th<\/sup>. The opening ceremony will be performed by none other than Marianne Thieme and you\u2019re welcome to come along!<\/em><\/p>\n\"\"<\/a>\n

In the past few weeks, the five Tiny Lofts for the Tiny House street in Hardegarijp were under production at the Mill Home Factory at Mill. The build of a whole series of Tiny House at once is a very special sight! For the residents of the houses these are exciting times. After applying, they had to wait to hear if they were selected. After that, they had to deal with the financial aspects. Now it\u2019s waiting for the houses to be delivered. You might think that it\u2019s no different than with a regular house. But this is a very new type of home, for a project receiving lots of media attention. I spoke with one of the very happy residents-to-be, Mirjam Aukema.<\/p>\n

Mirjam first learned about Tiny Houses when she found my website and she got excited immediately. She thought that the Tiny House dream wasn\u2019t on the cards for her yet. Being a pioneer, like the few Tiny House residents in The Netherlands, wasn\u2019t her thing. At the moment she is living in an adorable courtyard in Leeuwarden, the city that has been her home for years. The – women only – courtyard consists of houses of about 35 m\u00b2 and has a communal garden. So, Mirjam is no stranger to living small, and it won\u2019t be that hard for her to declutter either. It\u2019s a great place to live, but Mirjam is ready for something new. She\u2019s a real nature lover: she spends a lot of time in nature with her dog, wearing her rubber boots. That\u2019s what attracts her to Hardegarijp, the surroundings are beautiful and she\u2019s always dreamed of living close to nature.<\/p>\n

When Mill Home came out with the plan for a Tiny House street in Hardegarijp, she immediately applied as a potential resident. She couldn\u2019t be happier when she found out she was selected: \u2018I think it\u2019s great this is happening in Hardegarijp, having the Frisians as front runner!\u2019 She really loves the Tiny Lofts from Mill Home: \u2018They put a lot of thought into the design and they\u2019re really well finished-off. I couldn\u2019t have come up with anything better myself\u2019. What appeals to her is being able to live among nature in a Tiny Loft, but without having to depend on technics like in some off-grid houses. \u00a0It\u2019s all going really fast: she applied for a spot in the project in January this year, and she\u2019ll receive the key of her home on June 12th<\/sup>. She\u2019s expecting to be completely moved in to her new home on June 16th<\/sup>. She can\u2019t wait to sit on her deck in her new rattan chair with sheepskin. \u2018I can\u2019t believe I\u2019m this close to living there already!\u2019<\/p>\n\"\"<\/a>\n

This week Mirjam will meet her last neighbor. She\u2019s already met all the others, and with one neighbor she even went to IKEA in Groningen to buy some new things for their homes. She thinks the street will form a small but close community. She\u2019s looking forward to having her own yard, which she doesn\u2019t have right now. She\u2019ll probably get a lot of visitors too, since there\u2019s a lot of attention focused on this project. Fortunately she doesn\u2019t mind, she\u2019s already used to that by living in a courtyard. On the contrary: she thinks it\u2019s really special to get in touch with all those people who are interested in Tiny Houses. She might even organise her own open houses. But first she\u2019s going to settle down and enjoy her beautiful new Tiny Loft in Hardegarijp. I hope you enjoy living there and wish you all the best Mirjam. When you\u2019re ready I\u2019ll definitely stop by for a cup of coffee!\u00a0????<\/p>\n\"\"<\/a>\n
