Design & Build a Tiny Home

An introduction to designing and building a Tiny House to start your journey towards low-impact living. 

This is a two-day course with the option of participating in just one day if you wish. Tickets are available for either Saturday or Sunday, or the full weekend.

Tiny houses are low carbon, low impact, compact timber cabins on wheels. The popularity of the tiny house movement has grown as a response to changes in our climate, ecosystem and society. The environmental and material cost of tiny house dwelling can make off grid living more obtainable. 

Building tiny houses can create an accessible avenue towards living off the land, that can have a positive impact on our direct environment and your well-being. 

Whether you’re considering building for extra space or accommodation, to fit a smaller budget or to live more sustainably tiny houses are a practical and achievable solution. 

Over the weekend, the first day of this course gives a broad overview of materials, techniques and service choices aimed to get you to the starting point of planning, designing and building a tiny home. The second day is focused on getting hands-on and building the foundations of a (mini!) tiny house on wheels.
