SB and Matt are a young couple who made a big decision to build a tiny house after getting married. Moving to Colorado from Oklahoma meant a big jump in rent prices, so building the tiny house on wheels was a great option to save money and invest in their future.




Support us on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/livingbig




The couple managed to keep their build costs manageable thanks to doing all of the labour themselves. Fortunately, they were able to build the tiny house under the guidance of SB's father, who is a contractor. Amazingly, they were able to keep the cost of their tiny home build to a remarkable $18,000, allowing them to live debt free and with low rent for a parking space. Their finished tiny house is absolutely beautiful, with gorgeous finishes and lots of clever small space design ideas.

This modern tiny house is truly a musicians dream home. Asha Mevlana is an electric violinist with the Trans Siberian Orchestra who is used to life on tour but wanted a solid place to call home. This incredible tiny house is constructed on foundations but is joined by a mobile music studio on wheels, which also doubles as a practice space as well as performance venue.

Asha's home is beautiful and spacious. At 40ft, it's certainly on the larger side of tiny, yet is packed with very clever small space design ideas.

Jayme is a yoga teacher who has built an amazing and beautiful tiny house which is designed to encourage body movement. While still being a stunning and functional home, this tiny house on wheels has lots of things to climb on and hang off, helping to support Jayme in her health and fitness goals.




Support us on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/livingbig




This tiny house is furniture free. The furniture free movement encourages people to ditch their couches and sofa's and instead create open, functional and versatile spaces which encourage body movement. Without supporting furniture, the body is forced to find more ways to engage and relax. Ultimately, this helps to not only burn calories, but also to build strength and muscles.




Read More: https://www.livingbiginatinyhouse.com...




This home was built from all reclaimed / salvaged materials which have come together beautifully in this tiny house. Amazingly, Jayme was able to construct this beautiful home for the unbelievable price of only $12,000, thanks to her resourcefulness and willingness to get stuck in and tackle the tiny house build herself.




Enjoy the full tour of this innovative tiny house on wheels!

Growing older is a gift. Unfortunately that gift also comes with it’s own burdens, often meaning a lack of mobility and thus a loss of independence. This spectacular tiny house design has helped to give mobility and independence back to one very special lady though, through some very clever small space design to create an elderly, disability and mobility friendly tiny house on wheels.




Support our show: https://www.patreon.com/livingbig




This tiny house has many elderly / disability friendly features which helps to make this tiny home a very liveable space. These features include design aspects such as ramps, reinforced walls for secure hand rails, and an accessibility toilet and shower. Care was taken to ensure there are zero trip hazards in the home and the dimensions of the home were even designed around the ability to use a wheelchair in the tiny house if need be.

For those who have disabilities or mobility issues, one of the best things about a tiny house on wheels is that you can design it to your specific needs. In this case, Merle has a home where she is warm and comfortable, but most importantly, a house which has given her back her independence and dramatically increased her quality of life.




This one’s a real heart-warming tiny house story. If only we could all be as fortunate as Merle in our ‘more mature’ years. I hope you enjoy it!

We have plans in 2019 to do a full camper conversion on this ambulance, which is built on a 2008 Chevy C4500 and which was a fully working ambulance up until it was retired from service in 2017.In this pre-conversion tour, you'll see the ambulance as we bought her, as well as how we have been using it as a vehicle to tour with.

Not only is our Campulance a home away from home, it's also a tow vehicle which we use to pull our tiny house around. We've installed a full tow package which means that we will be able to travel with both the tiny house, and the campulance together, or just take the camper for shorter excursions. For us, this ambulance camper is like living the vanlife dream. It's a great vehicle and has been an amazing home on the road.

This off-the-grid home in Adelaide, Australia is something completely different! An Earthship is a radically sustainable and self-sufficient building which uses a combination of modern off-grid technology, super clever passive solar design techniques and a whole lot of recycled materials (including trash) all mixed with earth building techniques to create an incredible, high performance home.




Support our show: https://www.patreon.com/livingbig




The small Earthship home was built by Martin and Zoe, as a challenge to create Australia's first council approved Earthship. Together (and with a lot of volunteer labour) they have worked within the system to create a truly impressive small home.

This Earthship is filled with impressive off-the-grid technology, including solar power, rain-water collection, grey water filtration and much more.  The home also uses clever passive technologies such as it's passive solar design and even a natural cooling system using underground tubes. Beyond all that though, it's beautiful. The design and finish of this home are sure to leave you impressed! I hope you enjoy the full tour of this amazing small house!

\Ryan was fortunate. With his last 28ft tiny house on wheels he managed to pull it just out of the way of the wildfires which swept through California in 2017. That experience really got him thinking about the design of his home though and he decided to build something more compact which was more easily moved.




Support our show: https://www.patreon.com/livingbig




His first tiny house on wheels was an absolute dream. You can see a full video tour of that home here: https://youtu.be/XA5gF2FdNlY




It's quite common for people to build smaller when they construct a second tiny house. The smaller the home, the easier they are to tow and the easier they are to find parking spaces for.

Just like his first tiny house on wheels, this one is exceptionally well constructed. Every inch of this home is a celebration of craftsmanship and sustainable sourcing of materials, making this build a true artesian eco tiny home.

This dynamic young couple are used to working hard and bringing their dreams to life, one of those dreams was to construct their own tiny house on wheels. Eve and Chris decided to make the move to Raglan, New Zealand for a better quality of life, but the rental market didn’t make that easy - so the couple decided to get creative and put their skills to the test to build a tiny home.

Chris has a furniture making business and is no stranger to tools and timber, which is evident from the homes clever design and great finishes. The couple spent a lot of time searching for cheap materials for the home which helped to greatly reduce the cost of the build and make the tiny house truly an affordable option.

Eve is very used to big projects and to dedicating herself to a task. Representing New Zealand as an Olympic Athlete in rowing, she fell into depression after the olympics and used the tiny house as a project to set her mind to accomplishing a goal and helping to move into a more positive space.

Erin works as an architectural technician and has a background in interior design which meant this project was a great opportunity for her to really put her skills to the test. She also did the vast majority of the building work on the tiny house.

Thanks to some brilliant design, this home is very functional with all the necessities and lots of clever extras, including an ingenious fold out dining table in the kitchen and a great double loft design which created space for the movie theatre, an essential element for Jake who works in the film industry. I hope you enjoy full tour of this spectacular tiny house on wheels.
