Abstract
In the context of an ever-growing demand for housing, this research considers the challenges/opportunities faced by TH adopters in the northern Netherland. The aim is to establish what factors have the most significant impact on Tiny House initiatives, and to highlight what can be improved. The research distinguishes between the following three major factors, namely the role of the municipality, the importance of communities, as well as the impact of location. To answer the research questions qualitative research methods were used, relying on in-depth interviews with 5 different Tiny House initiatives in the northern Netherlands. Findings include that municipalities play a crucial role, being instrumental in accessing land and allowing for some flexibility relating to building code compliance. Moreover, communities are highly influential as well, due to increased bargaining power and the sharing of amenities. The location turns out to be less significant, as initiatives usually get assigned a plot of land by the local authorities.
