This week we’re in Queensland, Australia, where we meet Tiff and Tony — a talented couple who DIY-built a stunning, modern tiny home designed for effortless subtropical living. Surrounded by nature and nestled beside a picturesque creek, this off-grid home is packed with clever design features.

From a luxurious lounge space to a huge, ultra-functional kitchen, a unique glass-walled bathroom, and brilliant high-up storage, this tiny home proves that downsizing doesn’t mean sacrificing comfort or style.

One standout feature is the fully screened outdoor deck, which dramatically extends their living space while keeping out pesky insects — making it usable year-round, rain or shine.

Powering the home is an incredible off-grid system using recycled EV batteries — an innovative solution that gives old car batteries a new life and keeps this home running sustainably.
This home isn’t just beautiful — it was also built with heart. After the loss of her father, Tiff made a promise to her mum that they would always stay close. Now, they live on the same property, with the tiny home allowing both independence and connection. We hope you enjoy this inspiring story of family, design, and life lived in harmony with nature.
