There is a growing niche market in the U.S. for “tiny homes,” or mobile dwelling places that are typically under 400 square feet.
“Tiny homes are just as diverse as any other home,” explains Johanna Elsner, who owns Perch & Nest Co. in Winston-Salem, N.C., with her husband, Tom Elsner. The couple specializes in building luxury, tiny-home recreational vehicles (RVs) that are a grade above standard RVs and other mobile units.
