Adrian Giacca is working to create a MicroHome community in Revelstoke BC, Canada to address the increasing cost of housing and the gentrification of community. In partnership with the Revelstoke Community Housing Society they are proposing to develop a pilot project of MicroHomes in a pocket neighborhood, creating perpetually affordable homeownership, sustainable lifestyle practices and a renewed connection to people and place. Adrian has committed to the research and development of this initiative to share his understanding of tiny homes, co-living communities and how to illustrate and propose a development in your community.
The Tiny Living Alliance distinguish reliably, honest and transparent Tiny House companies from companies with less honest intentions. It’s easy, just look for the Trust Badge on the company’s website or use our Check Before Select service. If something goes wrong, we are standing behind you to solve the problem. So you never have to ask yourself again; will my tiny house arrive in time? Does it correspond to what I’ve ordered? And what happens when it’s damaged?

In 2017, Dee decided to go from Tiny to Tinier, gifting her tiny home of 12 years to her nephew, JW. Soon after, Dee moved into her new 56 square-foot tiny and JW commenced his tiny experiment, moving the house to Colorado and then Wyoming. Dee and JW will offer their experience, focusing on the basics and how JW modified things (systems, climate and function). They'll also share how things remained the same: happy enough, warm enough and gifted with a place called Home.
Zack, host of Tiny House Nation, has lived in a tiny home for over 7 years. In this session he dives into what life after COVID-19 shutdown looks like from a tiny house perspective and how they can be a solution to rebuilding.
The Tiny House Movement has come to mean many things to many people. Its inclusive philosophy and broad definitions have allowed for a wide range of ideas about what constitutes a tiny house, what the movement's about and where it's headed. It is, by now, a movement comprised of several movements, all of which fit neatly within its parameters at large. But not every house is tiny, and not every idea fits so neatly under the umbrella the Movement provides.
Jay Shafer will be discussing what happened when a group of people began working together to advance their shared ideas about housing, some of the resulting movement's most influential subsets and what happened when aspiring politicians and profiteers began claiming affiliation with the group to advance their own divergent agendas.
Join the legends Dee, Jay and Zack as they open up the conversation to a live Q&A!
