The tiny house movement is rapidly gaining momentum for space-savvy Aussies doing their best to find their way into the Australian housing market. “What is so groundbreaking about living in a small house?” you may cry. With a lot of people are making this transition – there must be some perks. The tiny house movement is in full swing. From what a tiny house actually is, to how much it costs, plus tips for financing, we have all the information you need to understand – and get on board – the tiny house movement.

How big is a t iny h ouse?

A tiny house on average measures around 15-18sqm and is designed on wheels or a trailer. By definition, a tiny house is legally a custom-built caravan. To be defined as a tiny home, the structure has to be on wheels (these can be removed if desired), however, if the tiny home is on land and built with traditional construction methods (such as stumps, bearers and joists), it is then a small house – and for that, you would need all the relevant planning approvals and permits.

Why join the t iny house movement?

1. Cost

You can purchase a tiny home for under $100,000 – with prices typically falling between $60-70k. If you want to customise it, add plenty of extras and have a slightly larger model, you may be looking up to $200,000. Not bad for your own little apartment on wheels! Because tiny homes are more affordable than traditional housing they allow you to gain more financial freedom to ultimately live your best life.

2. They are environmentally friendly

Tiny homes are the epitome of off-grid living. They can easily be connected to the utilities of grid services but can just as easily be driven onto a vacant block of land and, pending the availability of water, can be completely off grid but still have all the amenities and comfort of a one-bed studio. Much of the time they will come with an instantaneous hot water unit and two-burner stove that is powered by LPG bottles at the front of the trailer hitch. They usually come with solar on the roof and a toilet suite that can either be set up as a composting unit once it’s in place; or you can just as easily tap into a sewer or septic pending the location you decide to call home.

4. They are small and compact

Some people simply don’t need a lot of space – indoors, that is. Tiny houses have a footprint under 18sqm. The compact features of a tiny house can include a loft sleeping area, bathroom and kitchen. They are constructed to fit on a caravan-style trailer with wheels to ensure they offer their owners the flexibility to move when they see fit.

Living big in a t iny house

The main perk of a tiny house is not the small interior, but the expansive possibilities of what’s beyond your doorstep. As tiny homes are generally mobile, the world is your backyard. For this reason, among others, tiny homes are classified as ‘caravans’ from a regulatory standpoint. While this typically tends to the goals and ambitions of many tiny house owners who don’t want to be tied down, it also serves the purpose of reducing some of the red tape and costs around building, construction and land ownership. However, due to their caravan status, there are strict regulations on a tiny home’s width, length and weight that essentially also deem the house roadworthy. With this being the case, you really need to make sure you know what you’re doing if you’re planning on building one. Not only do you want to factor in additional bracing to accommodate for the highway wind loads but you also want to ensure the build complies with all relevant Building Code of Australia standards. It also all needs to fit on a regulation trailer and be under four tonnes. At the end of the day, it’s important that your tiny home still has access to natural light via windows and doors but is sturdy enough to cope with the rigours of modern life (and a highway at 100km/h). Our best advice is to get in touch with the many tiny home organisations in Australia and engage an architect or builder with experience in this realm.

Before arranging pre-approval for a loan for your tiny house, be sure to check with your local council about their rules on tiny homes as there are currently different rules for each state. If you intend on having a traditional tiny home (i.e. a caravan), you won’t be applying for a home loan, so chat to your lender about options. Some tiny home building business, such as Aussie Tiny Homes or Hauslein, can provide assistance on financing.

Are t iny houses suitable for family life?

Ultimately, it depends on your family and lifestyle preferences.

Given their small nature, most tiny homes aren’t intended for more than two (bed-sharing) people. However, there are more flexible models that can accomodate a slightly larger number of people. Most people will likely feel the pressures of space, especially if there are growing children in the mix. In that case, it might be time for an extension! Having said that, gone are the days when tiny homes were viewed as a poor man’s housing solution. These homes now offer real opportunities for Australian families to establish their own oasis or even their own off-grid sanctuary. All you need is a small plot of land and you could be on your own path to financial independence. This isn’t to say that tiny homes don’t exist in urban environments, they are becoming more and more popular with those looking to escape inflated house prices. Cities in America are even setting up tiny home villages to combat homelessness and assist with housing affordability issues. If you’re looking for inspiration on how to build a tiny house, or how to live in one, there’s plenty out there. Check out the Tiny Houses Australia Facebook page or the Australian Tiny Home Associations (ATHA) website for more info.
