Tiny Houses with a big heart
Located in Sefton, North Canterbury is a very special fully landscaped Tiny Home village built by Eco Cottages.
The village is where Eco Cottages share with you their latest product developments, different ensuite and configuration options which include a 10m2 Eco Pod, 16m2 Eco Glasshouse “super trendy”, 26.4m2 Eco Cottage “ Two versions” and their latest little gem, the 42.5m2 two bedroom T-bone being the trailerised combination of 2 Tiny House units brought together using Eco Cottages air-bridge style technology, modular in itself, suitable for long distance transportation. This allows many design variations as an extension to your living space, or bedroom provisions, in so many cost effective and attractive ways.
“Aside from these Tiny Houses being so attractive to the eye, the key factors for our clients is their warmth, insulation and a strong steel framed structure around a 75mm in-wall EPS insulated SIPS panel for double strength. It is the gable and pyramid roof with its spacious open ceiling, together with a generous 3.1m width, that sets these apart from the outdated & out functioned flat pitch roof Tiny Houses, only 2.4m wide and often seen with dangerous mezzanine floors, stairs and claustrophobic crawl spaces.”
“As a 21st century design, the Eco Cottage and its barn mates are aptly named “Tiny Houses with a big heart”.
“Water tightness and excellent wind deflection from a 19 degree pitch roof are equally important as is the heavily engineered trailer chassis where the triple axle and 6 tiny radial tyres of the Eco Cottage, combined with a dual ended telescopic tow-bar, provides many legal, practical & flexible advantages, now and in the future.”
- Colin (Eco Cottages)
As well as developing and building their Tiny, affordable homes, Eco Cottages is presently working with Government and other advisors to introduce new legislation specific to Tiny Houses, to embrace & protect them as an affordable housing solution, where Councils will be encouraged to make greater provision for their placements & services including red zone and other wasted land areas.
“Static site caravans are common in the UK, while nearly 6% of Americans live in Tiny Houses, That’s around 17.7 million people!”
