During 2008, Hari and Karl Berzins lost their home and restaurant business. The recession hit them hard, but they didn’t let their misfortunes stop them from moving forward. They learned their lesson and vowed never to use credit again. So when they rebuilt, they did so on a small scale.
They used their small savings to buy a plot of land in Virginia in 2011. There, they built a home that’s smaller than 200 square feet. And they couldn’t be happier.

Hari and Karl share the 168sq ft home with their two children.
The small house includes a galley kitchen, lounge-diner, bathroom and two lofted bedrooms.
It only cost the Berzins $12,000 to build their small home on a flatbed trailer.
Most of the construction was completed by Karl.
The family also grows their own crops and cares for livestock.
They have found a way to enjoy simple and inexpensive living.
By avoiding debt, the couple is saving up money to build a bigger home for their growing family on their land.
But for now, this tiny home is their only home. And it’s adorable.
