Meet Liam and Rachel, who built this cute 6.25-metre tiny house for just $420. Using almost entirely reclaimed materials, including bits and pieces scavenged from building sites and dumpsters, the couple built their first home with no previous building experience.


The teeny little house has a living area downstairs and above it a loft with a double bed. As they were living in community, Liam and Rachel didn’t need to include a kitchen and bathroom, as they have shared facilities and a communal living space nearby. This is their perfect retreat, surrounded by vegetable plots and looking out onto beautiful native bush.
