"After a decade of travel, Christopher Smith approaches his 30th birthday and decides it’s time to plant some roots. He impulsively buys a 5-acre plot of land in hopes of fulfilling a lifelong dream of building a home in the mountains of Colorado...TINY takes us inside six homes stripped to their essentials, exploring the owners’ stories and the design innovations that make them work. TINY invites its viewers to dream big and imagine living small."
