Boise, Idaho-area architect Macy Miller traded her 2,500-square-foot residence for a 196-square-foot home she built herself after dealing with a long and complex foreclosure settlement.
The home she constructed is an impressive example of the burgeoning "tiny house" trend.
Miller spent around $11,500 on the home, which she constructed on the back of a flatbed trailer.
She completely owns her home, which she shares with her partner and dog, and only pays to rent the land it sits on. The most expensive part was the $2,000 compost toilet that uses little to no water.
Miller shared photos of her home with Business Insider.
Here's the view of Miller's 196-square-foot house from the front door.
And this is the view from her lofted bed at the opposite end of the house.
Underneath the kitchen counters, she has a two-in-one washer/dryer.
