Tiny houses are popping up around the country as more people decide to downsize their houses and simplify their lives; some folks are using tiny houses to serve as cabins or second homes. (There are multiple sites on the Internet that show tiny houses; look at some pictures and get an idea or visual.) A typical traditional home is can vary from 1800 - 2600 sq.ft. but a typical tiny house is 100-400 sq. ft.. This can either limit your design or provide you with a design challenge!
