Inside the Surprising Gunyah Tiny House, a Fully Off-Grid Stylish Home Away From Home. As a brand that specializes in tiny houses, Hauslein knows what folks are looking for, which is why it added the Gunyah, the tiniest model yet, to its range.
Built in Port Macquarie, located in New South Wales, Australia, this mobile home also boasts a local aboriginal name, meaning “hut” or “shelter.” The Gunyah is meant for just two people who want to enjoy high-quality amenities and a cozy atmosphere while still being able to travel anywhere, anytime. One of the smallest models out there, this tiny home is 16-foot (5 meters) long and 14-foot (4.3 meters) tall, weighing under 3 tons, which makes it easily towable by any 4WD, and convenient for most trips.
Unfolding over 193.75 square feet (18 square meters), Gunyah’s living spaces include a kitchen with a large sink, a 2-burner gas stove, a breakfast bar, and space for a bar fridge, plus a lounge area, a bathroom, and a bedroom. Electric Adjustable Bed. The tiny house movement is booming — so why aren't more of us actually living in them? Despite early forecasts of a COVID-driven slump, house prices are now surging in many parts of Australia.
This is further widening the gap between the housing "haves" and "have-nots", and we are seeing related rises in housing stress, rental insecurity and homelessness. In Australia and elsewhere a movement has emerged that supports tiny house living as an important response to the housing affordability crisis. One of us argued in 2017: "[Tiny houses] have significant potential to be a catalyst for infill development, either as tiny house villages, or by relaxing planning schemes to allow owners and tenants to situate well-designed tiny houses on suburban lots. " Yet, to date, research begun in 2014 shows no appreciable increase in Australia in the proportion of people actually living in tiny houses, including the archetypal tiny houses on wheels. Melbourne housing market: homeowners opting for 'tiny homes' as house prices skyrocket.
Prospective homeowners are closing the door on standard houses and turning to 'tiny homes' instead as a cheaper alternative amid Melbourne's skyrocketing housing prices.

The compact but cleverly designed tiny house is arranged around a living area that opens up to the outside with large glazed doors, while upstairs lies a master bedroom and a secondary bedroom/home office that are linked by a gangway for easy movement. The Rourou Iti is based on a double-axle trailer and has a total length of 8 m (26 ft), so is pretty small compared to most North American tiny houses we cover nowadays (the Denali XL Bunkhouse, for example, measures 12.6 m/41.4 ft). It's clad in vinyl, while the interior is finished in lightweight poplar core plywood – it has a simple, unfussy decor that flatters the small space.

Situated in the mountains of New Zealand’s Mahakirau Forest Estate, Ahurewa is a sustainable tiny home equipped with twelve solar panels, a 4kw system inverter, two 25,000 liter water tanks, and a worm-composting septic system. Shipping containers are steadily proving to be much more multifunctional than we’re used to giving them credit.

Modpools turns single-use shipping containers into swimming pools. Tiny homes combating youth homelessness. More than 27,000 Australian young people experience homelessness each year, sleeping rough without a safe or secure place to call home.

How a Talented Architect Keeps Refining the Tiny House Until He Gets It Right. We have been following the work of architect Kelly Davis and his partner Dan George Dobrowolski trying to solve the problem of the tiny house with their Escape Series. I have started them all with "how a talented architect" addresses the complex mix of tradeoffs of size, rules, cost, complexity, how much of this and how much of that goes into it.
The Escape Vista is the third in this series and they have really given us a rare opportunity; this is a talented team, and one can almost see the thought process as they progress through the different designs in a short period of time. It all started with this, with another design built under another set of rules: How a talented architect makes a Park Model look like a charming cabin in the woods.
Micro-Loft is Crafted Like a Piece of Transformer Furniture. People pack up and move to the big city for a wide array of reasons: usually, it's for work, good food, and to partake in the endless variety of cultural activities. However, one downside to living in a large, dense metropolis is the lack of space – which is why smaller apartments are much more common here than elsewhere. With home prices rising, and young people putting off having families until later in life, we've seen the popularity of micro-apartments grow in urban areas like London, Paris, Sydney and more.
In New York City, locally-based Specht Architects carved out this beautiful, 425-square-foot micro-loft for a family of three in a mid-rise building in the Upper West Side. Though 425 square feet isn't much to begin with, a major advantage here was the soaring ceiling height, which allowed the designers to play around with the vertical height. The designers say:
