Sophia Jungbauer, a former architectural drafter, and her husband Henry, a professional builder, constructed the tiny home they live in with their dog, Cora, in Duluth, Minnesota. For the name of the dwelling, RAD (Rethinking the American Dream) Tiny Home, the duo took inspiration from a capstone paper Sophia wrote in college titled "Rethinking the American Dream—Downsizing as a Sustainable Solution," which examined the tiny home movement.
