- Do I want to sleep in a sleeping loft to create more space on the main level?
- How big or how small do I want to go?
- Should I build on wheels or on a foundation?
- Or should I build on wheels but use the house permanently?
- Should I go with a park model tiny house (~400 sq. ft.) or a tiny house on wheels (8.5-foot width limitation versus ~10-ft for park models)
- Do I want to have a dedicated workspace?
- How much multi-functional space should I have?
