How my great grandad would have described my Tiny Home

Tony’s Tiny Home

In a land of wide expanses and the relentlessly beating sun, there stands the noble simplicity of the Tiny Home. No more than a hundred square feet, this stout-hearted dwelling takes little but offers much. Walls firm and unyielding, timber touched by craftsmen, shaped by necessity and the human hand. 

Its interior, a testament to practicality, spartan yet comfortable. The space, every inch a purpose. A bed, a nook for breaking bread, shelves stocked with the essentials—flour, beans, coffee. Tools for living, not for show. Light filters through windows, small but wide enough to let in the vastness of the outside world. 

The Tiny Home, it is freedom in a nutshell. A place to lay one's head, a shelter from the storms, both weather-born and soul deep. Moveable, fixed to no particular plot of land. It is the promise of the horizon, the possibility of the next place, the next chapter written under the stars. 

Ownership of such a home is not merely a transaction, it's an embracing of life at its core—essential, unembellished, real. Here's to living deliberately, to confronting only the essential facts of life, and to seeing if one could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when it came time to die, discover that one had not lived. The Tiny Home: raw, true, living.

Very proud of your achievement young man.

To all Tiny Home owners - well done I hope you are as happy as my great grandad and I are with your decision to join the growing movement of Tiny Home owners around Aotearoa/New Zealand.
