Boise, Idaho-area architect Macy Miller traded her 2,500-square-foot residence for a 196-square-foot home she built herself after dealijng with a long and complex foreclosure settlement.

The home she constructed is an impressive example of the burgeoning "tiny house" trend.

Miller spent around $11,500 on the home, which she constructed on the back of a flatbed trailer.

She completely owns her home, which she shares with her partner and dog, and only pays to rent the land it sits on. The most expensive part was the $2,000 compost toilet that uses little to no water.

Miller shared photos of her home with Business Insider.
