Jay Shafer is a man who many know as the Godfather of the modern tiny house movement. It was 20 years ago now that he build his original tiny house on wheels and that moment has since inspired thousands of people all over the world (me included) to construct their own tiny homes.

In this weeks episode we travel into the High Sierra region of California to visit a dynamic young family who are living big in a yurt home on their 30 acre homestead / permaculture property.

Traditionally used by nomads in Central Asia, yurts are much less common in the west, however these well insulated, portable structures are certainly starting to become a popular option amongst those seeking an affordable, alternative home.

Brett and Beth together with their son Sequoia have established a beautiful lifestyle in their yurt and on their land, where they grow food, live (almost) off the grid and are working on regenerating the land through permaculture.




The couple also have the benefit of working from home as educators in permaculture and homesteading though their website: http://highsierrapermaculture.com/

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.




Together, this couple have created a wonderful home. Enjoy the full tour of this very special tiny house. To find out more about their projects, visit their website: https://www.facebook.com/Raglan-tiny-...

I’m always amazed at how people can turn shipping containers, hard, cold metal boxes, into some of the most beautiful, warm and welcoming homes. That’s exactly what this young couple from Victoria have done, transforming 3 20ft shipping containers into a wonderful, functional house.

Everywhere you look, Richard and Amy have packed their container home with great small space design ideas, ensuring that within the small footprint of the shipping containers, there is a tremendous amount of home and living space. Just as much thought has been put into the build of the home, with some great choices in materials and construction techniques making this a high performing and well insulating container home.

With wildfires becoming an every more frequent occurrence, it’s important for us to start thinking about fire resistance when designing our homes. The tiny house movement has been a great opportunity for innovation and experimentation. In this video, we visit the tiny house of an Australian builder, Tom and his tiny house on wheels which has been designed to be resistant to forest fires.




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




Tom’s tiny house is located in Kinglake, just outside of Melbourne, Australia. In 2009, Kinglake was engulfed by some of the worst forest fires in Australian history, claiming the lives of 180 people and a tremendous amount of damage to property. The land where his tiny house is parked is still scared from the flames of those tragic fires.




Inspired to find better solutions for building, Tom has explored various ways of making his incredible off the grid, solar passive tiny house resistant to fires. This includes design elements as well as clever material choices. If you’re considering building a tiny home (or any home for that matter) in an area at risk of wildfires, there are lots of great tips for you to consider in this video.
