And before you know it, you’re a tour guide and you find yourself in a coach packed with aspiring Tiny House residents and councilors from the municipality of Lisse. What a fun experience! About 40 people visited the BouwEXPO Tiny Housing in Almere and the Tiny House village in Alkmaar. While we were on the […]
Tiny House 4 all: building together towards living independently
I already mentioned something earlier, but now I can finally reveal what I’ve been working on for the past few months: making a website for Tiny House 4 all! Today it was launched and I can finally tell you all about this organisation. Tiny Houses are being built in Nieuwegein, both for the residents and […]
Tiny House project Leusden
On May 2nd I posted an article calling upon people interested in starting up a Tiny Housing project in Leusden, where the former military campsite Waterloo will be up for sale. After that the applications were massive, causing us to have the first information meeting in a gym. I still get an application every now […]
Proof for skeptical municipalities: Tiny Houses are a legal form of housing
‘Can you actually live in a Tiny House?’ That’s the question I’m asked most often. And next: ‘Where can you do that?’ There are a lot of cowboys stories going around: that it’s impossible to have a Tiny House that fits the Building Decree, to name one thing. Or that Tiny Houses are required to […]
The housing cooperative is on a roll
Yesterday I attended a symposium that was organised by Platform 31. The symposium was called ‘the housing cooperative is on its way’. The symposium was sold out and there was a varied program with a range of workshops and excursions. Despite the fact that it was hotter inside than outside (and it was already a […]

Now our initiative group Tiny House Alkmaar is officially a cooperative, is able to make arrangements for her members, enter into agreements and purchase goods and services. We’re one more step closer to realising our Tiny House pilot project in Alkmaar, […]
Fuss about leaving
Time for a quick update. This week I’ve been pretty busy with working on the Big Tiny House Manifestation in Almere, and the Tiny House Nederland Jamboree. But I’ve been getting a lot of questions: ‘I’ve read you’re leaving Alkmaar, where are you going?’ So I think I’ll take a little time to write this […]
Done with Alkmaar?
Wow, how do I explain this one? Last Thursday I had a talk with the municipality and the Gasfabriek, about the progress of the Tiny House pilot on the terrain at the Helderseweg 28. It was a big letdown for me, and I’ve decided it’s time to start looking for a new living space and […]
Wanted: Tiny House residents!
Because of the enormous number of applications it’s no longer possible to apply for this project. If there are any more opportunities like this, I will put them on my website! My ultimate dream is to live in the forest. Well, in an open area in the forest; otherwise my solar panels would be useless […]
