Tiny SMART House is a custom tiny house builder out of Albany, Oregon. What does it mean to build a Tiny S.M.A.R.T House? Sustainable construction, Modern efficiency, Affordable luxury, RV or commercial and Towable anywhere. One of our company’s goals is to help facilitate people to go tiny however works for them, so we are fully licensed and certified to build RV travel trailers, park models. We’re also proud to offer a variety of services (in addition to fully finished tiny houses) depending on our clients’ needs, including plans alone, design services and construction documents, or a partially finished home such as a shell. Let us help you make your tiny dreams come true!
– ORIGIN –
Throughout his years in construction, Nathan Light Watson witnessed and worked on plenty of the super-sized homes that many of us have been taught to view as “the American Dream.” He had always preferred simpler living, and was troubled by this nearly unachievable and largely unsatisfying way of life. It turned out that his goals, values and priorities varied greatly from the most of the professionals in the construction industry. Rather than building 4,000 square foot McMansions, Nathan wanted to spend his days pursing his true passion: helping others live happily, responsibly, and debt free. Needless to say, when he learned about the tiny house movement he never looked back. Tiny SMART House was founded in 2012 and today Nathan is the sole owner, President and CEO. We’re just coming out of our busiest winter yet, and can’t wait to see what’s next for the company!
– PRODUCTION FACILITY –
Our facilities are comprised of three buildings, including a 5,000 square foot warehouse on a 20,000 square foot lot. This structure serves as a multi-purpose production space to build tiny houses year-round, no matter the Oregon weather. The other two buildings are our main shop and metal shop where our welder builds all our custom trailers. (Which you can learn more about here!)
– WHY WE LOVE TINY HOUSES –
For many people, going tiny means more than jumping on the tiny house movement bandwagon. The tiny house movement is about simplifying life, cutting down expenses, traveling more and living without the looming burden of debt. For others, it’s about reducing your environmental footprint and facilitating healthy, active habits. Most clients also love the idea of being able to design and move into a new home that is completely suited to their needs and lifestyle, rather than something that’s been laid out for mass appeal and resale value.
When it comes down to it, the Tiny SMART House team is motivated by a combination of all these aspects. In our experience, the best way to “have it all,” is to give most of it away.
Thank you so much for your time and interest,
Nathan & team
