Something beautiful has landed in the world of small living: the very first Small Living Guide (KWW) is out! A digital guide packed with inspiration, practical information, and an overview of what’s currently for sale in the realm of small and compact homes. Whether you’re dreaming of a Tiny House, micro home, or compact apartment—or you’re a policymaker or civil servant involved in new forms of housing—this guide is a must-read.
The guide is an initiative from the team behind Klein Wonen Magazine (KWM), led by editor-in-chief Raymond Kool. Carefully curated, it offers a wonderful mix of providers dedicated to small living—from tiny house builders to modular housing concepts, circular foundations to innovative sustainable installations. And the best part: the guide is free to download at www.kleinwonenmagazine.nl.
A living, interactive guide
What makes the Small Living Guide especially unique is that it’s not a static publication. It’s digital and interactive, with numerous clickable links to websites and in-depth information. New providers can join at any time, and current participants keep their information up to date. This way, the guide grows along with the rapidly evolving world of small living—ensuring you, as a reader, always stay informed.
Raymond Kool calls it a “living guide” and hopes it will become the most complete and up-to-date resource for anyone exploring small-scale living. And that’s an ambition we wholeheartedly support!
From pioneering to professionalizing
In recent years, small living in the Netherlands has gained remarkable momentum. What started as a pioneering movement has grown into a widely embraced development with an expanding network of professionals: architects, builders, interior designers, project managers, and more. Products are now being developed specifically for compact living spaces. Platforms like TinyFindy and physical locations such as DemoParkNL in Almere are making small living more accessible than ever before.
In the guide’s foreword, written by Marjolein Jonker, this development is powerfully described. The Small Living Guide fits seamlessly into this evolution, bringing together all these initiatives in one clear, accessible place for a broad audience.
