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!

When this family grew tired of life in the city, they decided to sell up and start a new life together in the country, purchasing land in rural New Zealand and building the ultimate city escape, a tiny floating cabin which was constructed on pontoons.




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




Originally, this tiny house / cabin was meant to be a home for the family, who are currently living a large, safari style off-the-grid tent on their land, but they decided to start renting it out to help generate some extra income to help them develop their land further.

The cabin is floating on a spring fed dam on the property ,which provides a picturesque setting for this beautiful tiny home. The cabin is completely off the grid, with a construction similar to a house boat, but more with the aesthetic of a cabin on land.

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!
