Our Top 10 Moments of 2025
This is always my favorite blog post of the year.
Scrolling through my camera roll reveals the highlights of 2025, and what a year it was.
We are incredibly grateful for our business: for the beautiful work that challenges and inspires us daily, for the clients we have the privilege of meeting, and for our team, who believe in our dream as if it were their own and execute it with care and precision. As we reflect on all that 2025 held, we’re also looking ahead to 2026 with excitement and anticipation.
In no particular order, here are the Fritz Tiny Homes Top 10 moments of 2025.
1. California Mountaintop Tiny Home
I will never forget watching our tiny home crest a rugged mountaintop. This project meant so much to us for many reasons. It proved that we can truly place homes where our clients dream of living. We hired an off-road towing company to haul the home inch by inch to the site. It was the most challenging install to date, and now we can proudly say we have an off-grid tiny home perched on a mountaintop overlooking the ocean in California.
2. Halcyon Grand Launch
We launched a brand-new tiny home on wheels model, our largest to date. The Halcyon Grand is a 400-square-foot park model designed for clients looking for more. We listened closely to what our clients wanted: a king-size primary suite with storage, two private bedrooms, a dining table for four, a full front-hall closet, and a bathroom with tall ceilings and space for a washer and dryer. We are proud of the functionality of this home. The first was shipped to Illinois, and another is headed to Washington this spring.
3. Halcyon Lux Builds
We revisited our Halcyon Lux model and built two side by side, one for Ontario and one for Washington. This model is always a joy to build. The woodwork showcases the craftsmanship and heart that go into each home, and the bathroom remains a true showstopper.
4. Vancouver Island Delivery & Family Adventure
We delivered a Halcyon 02 to Vancouver Island for a dear client and brought our families along. We love having our kids involved so they can see our work firsthand—the boys even helped unpack the home. This delivery flowed straight into a summer adventure: camping at Lake Cowichan, visiting Bamfield, surfing in Tofino, and reconnecting with friends on Texada Island. These are core family memories we will treasure forever.
5. Colorado… Twice
We travelled to Colorado twice this year: once to help a client remove a tiny home from a mountainside in Crested Butte, and again to install a home in Pagosa Springs. Both locations were challenging and reinforced what our homes are capable of. Crested Butte saw 48 feet of snow at 11,000 feet, and with our building systems and in-floor heating, the home handled it beautifully. Rugged, breathtaking, and demanding, Colorado keeps us on our toes.
6. First Modular Tiny Home in Bozeman, Montana
We completed our first modular tiny home project in Bozeman and travelled to see it firsthand. This stunning guest house sits on ranch land, and we couldn’t be prouder of the design or our clients. While tiny homes on wheels are a great solution, zoning and bylaws don’t always allow them. To make our homes more accessible across North America, we launched the modular side of Fritz. These homes are engineered for permanent foundations, meet local building codes, and are fully permitted through provincial or state modular programs. They are an efficient solution for both primary and secondary dwellings, with more to come in 2026.
7. Launching the Fritz Sauna Division
We officially launched our sauna division, something that has been a personal and professional dream for years. Our goal was to create a sauna line that reflects the luxury, craftsmanship, and design Fritz is known for. After extensive research and development, it is here. Two modern glass saunas are now at a health and wellness retreat in San Diego, a solid wood sauna sits in our own backyard, and another was installed for the Grand Prize Showhome in the Full House Lottery in Edmonton. We are loving the practice and ritual of sauna as a family for its health benefits and the connection it brings when unplugged.
8. Florida, Family, and Gratitude
We had the opportunity to travel to Florida with our families and reconnect with our clients in Naples and Sanibel Island. It was a joy to see these tiny homes a year after installation and how our clients have made them their own. We were deeply humbled by an unexpected gift: a surprise day at Disney World. There were tears, smiles, and memories we will carry forever! The kindness and generosity we experienced on this trip reminded us how special the relationships behind these homes truly are.
9. Our Team
Our Fritz Tiny Homes team is incredible! We are endlessly grateful for their talent, care, pride, and the culture they bring to work every day. We are so proud of them!
10. Celebrating 5 Years of Fritz
This year marked five years of Fritz Tiny Homes. From a single tiny home built in our backyard under a tarp shed to what this business has become, it’s incredible to reflect. It is a testament to belief and courage, resilience and grit, surrounding yourself with good people and community, and learning how to pivot and weather the storms. Business isn’t always easy. We could easily list our hardest lessons and biggest challenges, but building a life and business you love is always worth it.
As you head into 2026, our wish for you is this: live life on purpose, lead with your heart, take the next step toward your dreams, and leave a mark of kindness, love, and respect wherever you go.
