Got tiny?
House, that is. HGTV, the mother of all TV shelter networks, has launched a tiny-house series, “Tiny House, Big Living,” produced by Orion Entertainment. It joins “Tiny House Nation” on FYI, a digital sibling of A&E. “Tiny House Nation” has two seasons under its tool belt.
And “Tiny House, Big Living” — with episodes slated to begin airing in mid-July — is looking for you. That is, if you’re already in progress on your mini-home.
In the words of Orion’s PR folks, “Unlike other tiny-house shows, this series focuses on owners who are already designing or building their own mini-masterpiece — or commissioning a builder to create their tiny dream ome. They’ve already given thought to some cool engineering feats, space savers, or unique design. We’re there to chronicle their dream in progress.”
The show won’t be doing a casting call in Denver. Instead, those interested in being on the show will fill out an extensive web form at , including contact details, the answers to 10 essay questions (“What’s motivating you to live in a tiny house? What drives you nuts about your current living situation?” and “Are there any unique engineering feats in your tiny house — i.e. a rooftop deck, a small hot tub, a spiral staircase?”).
The production company also needs your Skype ID and two to four pictures of your house under production. People just beginning construction or with it now underway are preferred. Two episodes of the show aired last December; the season under production this spring will include 12 episodes.
Colorado is a hotbed of the tiny- house movement; one of the two “Tiny House, Big Living” episodes focused on a home that’ll be located in Durango, while an episode of “Tiny House Nation” focused on a couple building near Littleton, where their original house burned down.
