Motivated to design and build a thermally efficient, easy-to-construct tiny house, Tiny House Solutions has created a 6m x 2.4m quality and contemporary home that has been fitted out with an array of sustainable and environmental features. It has been designed with weight, strength and insulation at the forefront, to help reduce the occupant’s global footprint whilst remaining comfortable.
