Living Big in a Tiny House

This incredible off-the-grid Tiny Home, constructed by boat builder and cabinet maker Jeff Hobbs really has taken Tiny House construction to the next level. It's packed with clever design features, high quality materials and sustainable technologies.

By carving out rocky hillside next to his Tiny House, Grant Lilly truly has created a man-cave paradise on top of an idillic hill, overlooking the ocean.

This off-the-grid Tiny House is truly exceptional and now that Briar has moved in, it's been transformed into a real home. When we first saw this house it was still at the workshop of boat builder Jeff Hobbs (https://youtu.be/CELFsKLkKbI). Since then it has journeyed to it's new spot where it sits beautifully amongst the natural setting of this small section.

The Lotus really has been a spectacular home and get-away for me and life there has at times been nothing short of enchanting. It hasn't always been easy though and with my time in the Lotus now coming to an end, I would like to share with you my experience of living in a belle tent and look at some of the pros and cons of tent living.

This 40ft Shipping Container home is packed with clever space-saving features. It's solar powered, collects rain-water and can even sleep up to 7 people!

It's been a long time since I have given an update on my own Tiny House project and lots of people have been asking for one! In this video I talk about what has been going on, some of the cool new features that I'm adding to the house, and where the project is heading now.

Originally designed and built by an architecture student, who wanted to experiment with creating super-affordable housing using reclaimed materials, this forest den has served as a comfortable home for David Gell for the past 5 years!

From the very beginning of this project, it was essential for me that my Tiny House be powered entirely though clean, renewable energy. Solar power is the cornerstone of this philosophy and so having the solar panels installed on the Tiny House feels like an incredible milestone.

A 20ft Shipping Container can be a challenging space to work with when constructing a home. Thankfully, with years of experience building super-yachts and racing boats, shipwright Evans is no stranger to working in small spaces and when it came to building his own home he has done a truly spectacular job of, quite literally, thinking inside the box.

Annelies is a young furniture maker in Christchurch (New Zealand), who has turned her skills towards crafting her own Tiny House on wheels. Many of the materials in her house have been reclaimed from homes damaged in the terrible earthquake of 2011.

This small home on wheels is smart, modern, incorporates passive house principles and was even designed to withstand earthquakes! For those who love the idea of getting into an affordable home but are afraid that a Tiny House on wheels would be too small, this may be the ideal solution.

Just a quick video for you this week! I'm traveling at the moment but wanted to make sure I still had a video up for you. Japan is world famous for it's pioneering architecture and fantastic spatial design. Over the next few weeks, I will be exploring the country and seeking out examples of the best downsized spaces. Last night I had my first experience of a midtown Tokyo apartment and so I wanted to share it with you.
