A couple invites the younger generations to take over their longtime home and build a new one steps from the front door.
Judy and Dean Anderson’s tiny home doesn’t have lake views, and it’s not tucked away in a fairytale-esque forest. But it’s right where they want it. "There are lots of beautiful and romantic places one could park a tiny house, like the beach or the mountains, but we’re within steps of our daughter’s front door," says Judy.
The tiny home on wheels that Tru Form Tiny designed and built for Judy and Dean Anderson is wrapped in white-painted pine that’s accented by an entry in ebony-stained cedar. It was staged here in a parking lot before being installed next to their Washington home.

Dean had been facing health issues when things took a turn for the worse. Their daughter Katelyn, an RN studying for her doctorate at the University of Washington, "immediately offered to move closer to help," says Judy. That’s when she and Dean decided to sell their East Renton Highlands home of 26 years to Katelyn and her family and purchase a tiny house for themselves that they could situate in the yard. "I’d always been interested in the tiny house movement and knew it was something we’d enjoy," remembers Judy.
