Tiny homes are being posed as the solution to the housing crisis. From a DIY project to a professional business venture, sea containers to steel frames, wheels to skids, here's how some people are building them.
abc.net.au/news/are-tiny-homes-answer-to-big-housing-crisis/102449802In a warehouse 20 kilometres north of Perth in Wangara, two men called Dave are building tiny homes.
South of Perth in the Peel region, Sue Daley's background in renovation and design has been paired with Joe Maiolo's background in building to form another tiny home business, Pocket Condos, which is driven by a similar ethos."There are more people who want the smaller home and to live more sustainably and affordably," Ms Daley said.
Sue Daley says tiny homes on wheels are a great option in flood or fire prone areas where residents can move their homes out of harm's way.Mr Barker said the Snug Living units provided 25 square metres of living space – about the same as a hotel room – and were built on a steel chassis which is covered with insulation and then flooring.
The Snug Living team is in the process of obtaining a registered builder's licence so they can offer installation services too.
