Tiny Houses to be permitted legally in Ontario according to Building Code documentation include the following provisions as we currently understand which are....
1. an open concept unit can be as small as 188 square feet (usable finished interior square footage). However an ARU can be even larger than the property's original home
2. Must be a 4 season not just a cottage bunkie style seasonal structure
3. Must have its own washroom, cooking, heating HVAC and connections to utilities including hydro, water and sanitation sewer hook ups and meet Ontario R insulation levels in the geographic zone it is situated in Ontario
4. Framing of structure must use graded lumber with 2" x 8" floor frame, 2" x 6" walls for R insulation and 2" x 8" trusses.
5. Head room minimum on main level must be at least 6' 11" finished interior and while lofts are permitted (code defines loft areas as mezzazines ) loft floor space does NOT count towards the 188 Square feet target.
6. Ladders to lofts are NOT allowed according to code and regular run and rise dimensions of stairs and safety railings are code to 2nd levels.
We at Trinity predict that enterprising developers will recognize the need and consumer demand for tiny home communities and neighbourhoods. This is not just for the homeless problem in cities but for frugal 2nd vacation home buyers who don't want big multi million $ cottages but prefer simple attractive tiny vacation homes.
New recent legislation in Ontario and other provinces and in the United States now allow tiny homes as small as 188 square feet.
Now a home can be affordable
and cost $ consumers peanuts!
