Phil and Colleen Price started Kiwi Tiny Houses in 2019, but their love for tiny houses began in 2016 when their daughter’s health put her in a wheelchair. Unable to live in a University dorm room, Phil decided he would design her a small home that was accessible for her wheelchair, so she would have her independence.  Their daughter found healing through the Mayo Clinic and no longer needed her wheelchair, so the tiny house building continued with a new direction in mind.  Thanks to their new knowledge of tiny homes, their passion for sustainable, healthy tiny homes flourished!
