Tiny-house communities are popping up across the country, but one family in Kentucky has created a village of their own.

Keli and Ryan Brinks live in a tiny house in Kentucky. Their 18-year-old daughter, Lennox, and their 16-year-old son, Brodey, also live in their own tiny houses next door.

Together, their six tiny homes create a unique living situation with the goal of sustainable living.

Here's how the Brinks family makes their tiny village work.

Since tiny houses produce less waste, require less heating, and can be more environmentally friendly, the family knew it was the right fit.

"Initially, my husband wanted us all together in one cabin, but I argued on behalf of the kids for their own privacy," Keli told Insider.

Instead, the family decided to buy a few tiny houses — one for each family member.

From the article, 4 people in 6 houses? Why?

Reading is your friend:

2 parents = 1 house
1 male kid = 1
1 female kid = 1
shared:
office space = 1
pool house = 1
guest house = 1
_______________
4 people = 6 houses
