Bringing cutting-edge manufacturing to tiny homes
Our goal with Clever Tiny Homes is to use our experiences at the highest levels of design, construction, technology and manufacturing to deliver incredible homes at highly affordable prices.
We’ve designed some of the world’s most iconic buildings, invented and commercialized advanced technology products and run manufacturing operations around the globe.
We are also family. As we were building a tiny home for ourselves, we realized that we had a unique combination of expertise and backgrounds that could be used to build incredible quality tiny homes at great prices. Our country is short three million homes. We believe everyone who can make a dent in this crisis has a responsibility to do so. Clever Tiny Homes is answering this challenge.
