Tru Form Tiny

Tru Form Tiny is a family-owned tiny home builder rooted in the forests of the Pacific Northwest, where their passion for small-space living first began. What started decades ago as a practical off-grid solution for a father and son living and working deep in the woods has evolved into one of the most respected names in modern tiny home design. Today, the company is led by that same son—co-owner Jen Carroll—alongside his wife, Malia, continuing a legacy that blends ingenuity, craftsmanship, and a deep connection to nature.

The company’s first tiny home was built in the late 1970s by co-owner Jon Carroll as a way to keep his family warm and dry during harsh planting seasons while working with the Hoedads Reforestation Cooperative. That early build planted the seeds for Tru Form Tiny’s philosophy: small spaces can be both beautiful and deeply functional. Nearly four decades later, the family revived this vision, creating a company dedicated to building certified, meticulously crafted tiny homes that reflect modern needs and sustainable living.

Tru Form Tiny is known for its design-forward approach—balancing sophisticated aesthetics, high-quality materials, and innovative space-saving solutions. Every home is built with precision, emphasizing longevity, energy efficiency, and the thoughtful use of eco-friendly products. Their work sets a high standard for the industry, with over 300 handcrafted homes completed and a reputation for blending artistry with engineering.

Whether designing a fully custom tiny home, developing a commercial project with multiple units, or helping clients personalize a model to their lifestyle, Tru Form Tiny brings integrity, creativity, and intentional design to every build. Their mission centers on sustainable construction, elegant simplicity, and crafting homes that support meaningful, flexible, and environmentally conscious living.
