The Small House Movement is a very quirky concept that advocates a better quality of living through residing in a smaller abode. Advantages, in their opinion, include increased simplicity and ecological and financial gains. There seems to be no firm basis for this belief (such as scientific research), just a general sentiment among the movement's proponents. Although I am unsure whether I believe that this way of living is preferential to any other, I like the idea and the small houses are often fantastic!
I have always wanted to own a gypsy caravan or vintage campervan. I guess it would fulfil the Small House Movement criteria, except perhaps for fuel consumption. I find them to be very charming vehicles and I would also love to be able to sit on the veranda of a caravan (like the one below) in the evenings to stargaze.

Talking of such small houses reminds me awfully of The Borrowers by Mary Norton! When I was younger I always wished I could find Borrowers under my floorboards so that I could donate my dolls house furniture to them and make them things! Bizarre, yes.

The trailer doesn't grab me, and neither does the castle, but the small houses are a fantastic reason to visit Europe. I am particularly fond of the Cotswolds for that reason. Great pictures!
oh, I would love to live in a place like that.xx
