Zen Tiny Homes

Zen Tiny Homes has led the tiny living movement in Southern California for over a decade. Based in San Diego, they guide clients through a streamlined three-step process — property assessment, design, and build — to create fully customized, accessible, and high-quality homes. They’ve partnered with local governments to expand tiny home living, appearing on networks like HGTV and A&E, reinforcing their reputation for reliability and expertise.

• Models that are functional, versatile, and built to move.
• Mammoth – Up to 30 ft with full-size appliances, spacious interiors
• Family-friendly layouts — the perfect starter tiny home.
• Custom Builds – Your vision, brought to life
• Options include rooftop decks, fold-out platforms, catwalks, custom cabinetry and more.

Whether you choose a fully designed home or bring your own plan, Zen’s 3D design services bring it to life visually — creating homes with bright flow, smart storage, and a personality that matches your lifestyle.

Workshops & Resources

From first contact to move-in, Zen Tiny Homes gives you a clear roadmap so you always know what comes next. They front-load decisions with visual tools, align expectations on budget and timeline, and surface site requirements early to prevent surprises. The goal is simple: confident choices and steady progress from planning to build.

• Buyers Application Process – Jumpstart your custom build and secure your spot on their build list.
• 3D Design Program – Get detailed digital renderings before locking into a build — both visual and strategic clarity.
• Site Planning Services — They’ll assess your land for zoning, utility access, topography, and septic needs, smoothing the path to construction.

With phased milestones, proactive updates, and expert guidance, your project stays organized and predictable. You’ll make informed decisions at each step, reduce rework, and move toward delivery with a team that treats clarity and communication as part of the build.
