Handcrafted Movement Review

Handcrafted Movement is a designer and builder of tiny homes based in Portland, Oregon. While they are currently not accepting orders, buyers may purchase homes from Handcrafted Movement as they are constructed. Often, homes are built in one of 21 styles of mobile tiny homes ranging in length from 24' to 31'. As such, buyers cannot place custom orders. From a design standpoint, tiny homes from Handcrafted Movement take on a modern cabin style. Models usually feature board and batten siding, cedar accent details, cedar decking, and slanted seam metal roofs. All tiny homes are built on an Iron Eagle Tiny House Trailer. Their interiors usually include hardwood fir flooring, LED lighting, custom-built fixtures, marble countertops, and loft space. Homes also come with appliances like cooktops, energy-efficient refrigerators, LP tankless water heater, mini-split heating, air conditioning, TVs, and even electric fireplaces. Upgrades like washers, dryers, porches, and awnings are also offered. While past buyers have used models for off-grid living using propane hookups and solar panels, Handcrafted Movement does not advertise any off-grid capabilities. 


Although Handcrafted Movement builds all their homes on trailers, many models include semi-permanent cedar post and deck systems. Homes are built at their headquarters near Portland, Oregon. The company goes against the trend of mass-produced tiny homes, often building 1-off creations with custom-built, luxury features. However, this means the building timeline can be lengthy. For example, just milling, fitting, sanding, staining, and waxing their hardwood floors can take 80+ hours. Homes are fully assembled and turn-key ready before being shipped to buyers.

Strengths
