When Seattle-based tech entrepreneur Sarah Green first stumbled upon micro-living designs online, she thought they were just "fancy tiny homes." But after her family of four spent nearly two years exploring alternative housing solutions, they became pioneers in what's now the United States' most rapidly growing eco-friendly living trend.

 

Their 1,000 sq ft EcoNest home, crafted by MicroLiving Innovations, was set up on their Washington state property in April 2024. The prefabricated unit boasts:

 

  • Modular construction that can be expanded in the future

 

  • Solar-powered roofing with 90% energy self-sufficiency

 

  • Space-optimizing features such as multi-functional furniture and living walls

 

"The true value isn't in the size of the home," explains Tom Green, Sarah's husband and a high school teacher. "It's in how the design makes you focus on what truly matters." The family reports saving approximately $2,500 monthly compared to their previous 2,400 sq ft suburban home, funds now redirected toward travel and personal development.

 

Local building codes initially presented obstacles, but MicroLiving Innovations worked with King County officials to create new guidelines for modular eco-homes. The Greens' property has since become a showcase site for sustainable living advocates.
