Tiny Homes
Your new tiny house
The tiny house movement that is sweeping across the Sunshine Coast and the rest of Australia is the reason that we are so passionate about seeing everyone who’s dreamed of living in a tiny house find their perfect tiny house fit. There are so many contributing factors that can cause someone to make the switch to the alternative lifestyle of tiny house living.
Maybe you’re looking for off-grid options or your dream is to achieve financial independence. Maybe the city lifestyle that you’ve grown accustomed to has lost its appeal and all you can think about is being surrounded by nature, living on the road in a tiny house with your family by your side.

Not quite the right fit? No worries, we’ve also got custom tiny homes available as well. We mean it when we say we want all of our customers to walk away feeling excited about their new tiny house lifestyle.

This situation usually doesn’t require council approval.

It’s always good to be aware of what you might be giving up when choosing the tiny house lifestyle but if you’re prepared and aware of the sacrifices you may have to make, it won’t take long for these disadvantages to look like advantages!
Having to live without certain luxuries
It’s almost a guarantee that if you move into a smaller space, there will be some luxuries that you’ll have to forfeit. Maybe it’s that king-sized bed that you can stretch out on, or enough space to have your own private study. Whatever it may be, it’s good to acknowledge that entering the tiny house society may mean saying goodbye to some luxuries.
Downsizing
It’s a well-known expectation that if you’re moving into a smaller space, you’re saying goodbye to lots of storage space. You’ll need to think carefully about everything you currently own and make sure that it’s an absolute necessity before bringing it in to your new home.
Basic living
By downsizing your space, you are making a conscious choice to return to basic living standards. There’s no room for fancy plumbing or toilet access so you’ll have to come to terms with the reality of stripping everything back to the basics.
