Oftentimes not only is building a tiny house illegal but so is building a small one. One way to get around it, is by building what’s called an Accessory Dwelling Unit, or an ADU for short, if eligible.
Then this ADU can be operated as a guest house, in-law suite, vacation home, Airbnb, or what-have-you. That’s what Bunch Design did in Los Angeles, California with this Highland Park 850-sq.-ft. small home. Check it out! What do you think of small homes around this size?

This is a stealthy and RV-certified 28-ft. cargo trailer tiny house. Well, I call it stealth but at this point it’s pretty obvious that it’s an RV since it has added windows. But other than that, one could very well assume it is still some sort of work trailer. Sometimes these are built out with skylight windows for added stealthiness.
I don’t think I have ever come across a cargo-trailer build that is stated to be RV-certified. For some, that may not even matter, but if one ever plans on staying in a campground an RV certification may help increase the odds to be allowed to park and camp onsite with a tiny house like this. So take a look and let us know what you think! Is this a style that you would ever consider?

When Katy Zientek was pregnant with her second daughter, she spent her evenings watching tiny house shows on Netflix. Something about the idea resonated. After seven years of renting, she and her husband Michael had a family shed on their Texas property that wasn’t being used. What if they could transform it into a real home? Not a temporary solution or a compromise, but a charming farmhouse cottage they could actually live in — for about $15,000 in materials.
That vision became reality. Over the course of nine months, from September 2020 to May 2021, the couple turned an ordinary storage shed into a 280-square-foot home complete with a downstairs bedroom, full kitchen, open living area, bathroom, and a covered front porch. They did most of the work themselves with help from friends on weekends, and hired a contractor only for the porch construction. The result is a charming, fully functional tiny home that allowed them to stop renting and start building equity — all while staying well under $20,000.
This is what shed conversions offer: an accessible path to homeownership that doesn’t require years of saving or taking on massive debt. If you already have a shed structure or can acquire one affordably, you’re starting with the foundation, framing, and roof already in place. What remains is insulation, systems, and finishes — challenging work, but achievable for determined DIYers willing to learn as they go.
