Check out the construction and a tour of this cute 10-square-metre mostly recycled tiny house with a lead-light geodesic dome window, built on land shared by a community committed to simple living.


The build cost around $2500, and was completed by a group of mostly unskilled builders in Gippsland, Australia. The house has a loft bed, and work and living space below, with no need for a bathroom or kitchen as these are part of the community’s shared facilities.
