I reckon would fall under what fits your needs. Some I understand are minimalist and small and quaint is there thing. In the general I would say it is a indictment against this worlds system and their love of money. This worlds system has priced a good number of individuals and families out of the dream of home ownership and having a place to call your own.
As well as the simple things like a mom getting a kick out of drawing a line on the wall to see how much her child has grown. The child laughing and smiling to see they are getting bigger. The father feeling pride that his family is taking joy in what he is able to provide for them. So for the most part I find it a indictment and a charge against this worlds system and how it's greed and lust has priced folks out of the market.

my mum never did that and my dad just cut down most of the trees I did try to grow anyway...but i got the impression from both that home ownership it was the most important thing even though nobody is ever able to afford it THESE days.
in the library I do have a height chart on the wall where the children can mark how tall they are. I also stacked the books up as a challenge for readers to read their height in books.
I am quite lucky that I have a school library to look after and its just me in one room. There is a divider to another part and a corner office but its pretty much one room Ive worked in 3 storey public libraries and they are too big plus they need a whole team to look after them.
as for tiny homes Ive never lived in one so I am not sure how that would work. Ive stayed in cabins and huts but I dont know if a tiny home is the same or its just another name for a glorified shed.

I lived in a 410 sq ft nicely laid out studio apartment for awhile and it fit me perfectly. However, there are a lot of limitations with a studio. Ideally, I would like a proper guest bedroom (instead of having guests sleep on the futon or sharing my bed) and my own office (since now the trend is more teleworking). I also need enough counter space in the kitchen for appliances. I grew up in a 2400 sq ft home.
ok my bedroom is 3x3 m or 9 square metres. An entire tiny house is a little over twice that size 21sq metres.
A bed is roughly 2 m long. So a single bed would fit but you'd be pushing it to have a double bed unless you had loft space or one of those fold up beds.
then youd need to fit in a shower/bath and toilet, and kitchen sink, stove, fridge to make it self contained. Otherwise youd need to contantly go somewhere else for those facilities. I dont think there would be room for tables and chairs or a couch or desk.
some teenagers have a 'sleepout' thats basically a garage converted into a bedroom. But that is not a tiny home. They still need to use the main house its attached to or on the same land for everything else.

I think a tiny house would be ideal if you also had a mini golf and a miniature railway going past your house. Just to keep everything to scale.
It would be kind of weird to have a tiny house that was smaller than your garage. I have seen triple car garages in some richer areas in the world and I wonder if the owners have three cars to themselves or their family member each have a car so their property becomes like a parking lot.
The thing with home ownership is, its touted as 'the dream' but is hardly ever achieved in reality. Also the Bible says not to covet someone elses house, so Im thinking ok, its nice if everyone has their OWN house, but then how is it some people have like 5 or 20 properties? what do they possibly do with them all except rent them out to make profit?
It must have been they coveted someone elses home. Unless is another valid reason to own so many but I cant think of any.
