Tiny Houses Australia

Tiny Houses Australia ? Yep, they’re being built here, lived in and dreamed up, all in Oz.

  • Wayfarer Tiny Homes Australia – The Gold Coast now has it’s own tiny house builder.  Andy has is eyes firmly planted on the future so I’d be expecting to see the Wayfarer name popping up all over the place.
  • The Wood Butchers Tiny House – Emmet poured his heart and soul into building this little house, with plenty of help from friends, a tiny house building workshop and as much recycled materials as you can fit on a trailer.
  • Tiny Abode – Bec and Reece are great, without any building experience or anyone to tell them what to do they have turned out a really nice abode.
  • Tiny Aussie Homes – A Queensland example of a tiny house with plenty of information and experience to share.
  • Milkwood Permaculture – A great example of an owner built tiny house, on foundations and for a young family.
  • Holly Burton Farm – I think Rob was building tiny houses before they even called them tiny houses.
  • Murrey Barker’s Backyard Bungalows – A backyard shed conversion done well.  Not exactly a tiny house but i would say this is a blue print for how we can intergrate tiny house ideas into our cities without to much bother from councils and the likes, retro fit the suburbs!
  • Fred’s Tiny Houses – Another pioneer, this one based near Melbourne
  • David Bell – This guy was also ahead of his time, and not doing it to be cool or part of a movement, just because it made sense.
  • Passivhaus, Castlemain Vic.- There is something the water in Castlemain Victoria.  Loads of eco conscious folks getting busy in the area.
  • Peter Cowman – Peter is a real alternative thinker in the Architecture world.  Well worth watching his videos on designing you own home (found on his website)
  • The Tiny – oh look! I did that!
  • The Pump House– An architecturally designed Small Home.
  • Tiny Houses Australia Facebook page – this is where they talk the talk.  This page is seems to have morphed into a personal website but if you join the tiny house group that is where you will find an active community.
  • Tiny Homes Foundation – A project, based in NSW, to use small homes as housing for homeless people.
  • Tiny Houses for Women Refugees – This project is running tiny house building workshops and the houses built are going to be part of a women’s refuge.  Two awesome causes in one project, well done Kat.  She is also organising a few tiny house building workshops for later in 2015.
  • Agari Farm – These guys rock and sometimes host tiny house building workshops, along with loads natural building workshops.
  • Hutwheels – There is a website, not sure if much else is going on here, lets hope there is more to come.
  • Deek Diedricksen in Australia– A youtube clip from his first Australian tiny house building workshop  “Salvaged Cabin Windows”.
  • Happy Simply – A tiny house built as a community project in Adelaide and now being offered as a place to trial out tiny house living.
  • It’s A Tiny – A FB page about a couple making it happen, building their own tiny house, near Melbourne.
  • Tiny House Transition – Under the tuition of Rob at Holy Burton these guys turned out a fine looking home.
  • 100% Reclaimed Materials Tiny House build – Well what can I say, I applaud this one for so many reasons
  • The Tiny House Co. – These guys up in Brisbane have put together a super modern well thought out display home, also at the bottom of their FAQ they do say “feel free to ask us for advice”.
  • Cabin Kits Galore – This company imports prefab cabins and puts them up so no real eco points there BUT, they do have a tiny house kit for sale.
  • Tiny House Daylesford – This looks like a carpenter downsizing his projects from houses to tiny houses. Hopefully some quality work to come.
  • Small is Beautiful – This documentary does focus on American examples but it deserves a mention as Jeremy the film makers is from Melbourne and there is an opportunity to host a local screening.
  • Happen Films – This film maker has 2 tiny house youtube clips with mega recycled material usage, got to love DIY.
  • Tiny house in Brisbane – Some people avoid the hype and just get on with living (in a tiny house).
  • The Love Shack – This is a quintessentially Australian version of the tiny dream.

 

This is just the few I have come across, I would love to grow this page, so if you are building a tiny house or know of any Australian tiny house projects, hit me up and I will add them to the list.
