In a nod to the compact-living movement, 84 Lumber has rolled out a new line of portable tiny homes called Tiny Living by 84 Lumber.

"The tiny home movement lies perfectly at the intersection of 84 Lumber's expertise in high-quality building materials and green building best practices," said Maggie Hardy Magerko, president and owner of 84 Lumber. "With our national footprint and commitment to the dedicated do-it-yourselfer, we are uniquely positioned to become a part of this new path to homeownership, and are excited to offer Tiny Living on a national scale."

According to 84 Lumber, the retailer has positioned itself as a pioneer in this new market.

The custom-built houses measure no bigger than 200 sq. ft. and come in four different models, ranging from move-in ready to build-it-yourself. They include a cottage style and a high-end modern design, as well as styles in between.

The move aims to capitalize on a growing number of people who are choosing financial freedom, mobility, and a reduced environmental footprint over square footage.
