In <br />Portland, Oregon, and a growing number of smaller cities, tiny <br />houses can be legally occupied on any residentially -zoned lot. Since <br />they're small — typically under 400 square feet — tiny houses can fit <br />in a space too small for an ADU. Many include a kitchen and <br />bathroom. Some function more like a detached bedroom.

At <br />170 square feet, the home is the <br />largest tiny house on the lot, <br />located in the Cully neighborhood <br />of Portland, Oregon. The tiny <br />space includes a kitchen, living <br />area, bathroom (with a shower <br />and toilet) and a sleep loft. <br />20 A A R P The ABCs of ADUs <br />
