Clayton Homes Rolls Out Floor Plans for Fans of Tiny House Movement
MARYVILLE, Tenn. (PRWEB) July 10, 2014 -- The tiny house movement, which advocates simple living in smaller homes, has been growing in popularity among homebuyers over the past year. Consumers are realizing that buying larger homes requires taking out a larger mortgage and straining the daily budget. Tiny houses are a solution to this problem because they offer budget flexibility and simple, efficient layouts. Recognizing the similarities between tiny house homeowners and their own customers, Clayton Homes has embraced the core values of this trend and will continue to build affordable homes that support the lifestyle choice many Americans now embrace.
The tiny house movement gained steam during the recent financial crisis. Homeowners wanted to live in smaller houses, many less than 600 square feet, that were more affordable, easier to maintain and energy efficient. Followers of the recent trend will find floor plans available through Clayton Homes that exemplify this lifestyle, including the tech-savvy Gen Now Concept Home unveiled at the 2014 Berkshire Hathaway shareholders meeting.
“The tiny house movement has many of the same core values we embrace at Clayton Homes,” said Kevin Clayton, CEO of Clayton Homes. “We believe that Americans deserve to live comfortably in a quality home and still have money left over to spend on travel, fun and family.”
Clayton Homes has now made features commonly popular in tiny houses available in all of their floor plans:
• Floor plan choices from tiny house size (less than 1,000 square feet) to traditional family size (more than 2,000 square feet)
• Flex space - smart and efficient use of personal and social living spaces
• Customizable floor plans and personalized design to reflect unique lifestyles and interests
• Energy-efficient features and appliance upgrades. Check out the Energy Saving Features Infographic.
