Vilfred Hagen pretends to attack his sister Hedvig with a toy weapon in front of their home on Oct. 20, 2026 in Jutland, Denmark.

Denmark has strict national building codes for mobile tiny houses and owners face major legal hurdles for permanent habitation. Many supporters live “under the radar” or work closely with local municipalities to pilot special projects.
