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.

I’m such a fan of indoor / outdoor flow in homes. Especially in a beautiful subtropical location like Queensland where winter doesn’t really exist, it’s amazing to create a home that allows you to enjoy the outdoors all year round! Not to mention extra attention to keeping all those Aussie bugs out is a huge win in this tiny home! Tony and Tiff have done a fabulous job on their home. We hope you enjoy the tour! Thanks for watching and supporting our channel. Please remember to subscribe if you enjoy our videos and drop a comment! With love, Bryce & Rasa

This home is absolutely beautiful, clean and gorgeous 💙🩵💙
Just wow – i want one
What a great couple, and a great job on their home. I love the way they used every inch of space and so neat and clean as I have OCD bad and love everything clean and in its proper place. Glad she could move onto the property to help out her Mom that’s so nice as I lost my husband 6 years ago he was only 58 and it would be amazing if I had a place like this my daughter and her 2 boys could of built a place to live on with me.
Oh dear, they lost me with the bathroom
Splendid!
Didn’t see any burners on the countertop for pots and pans. Maybe they are hidden away and only pulled out when needed?
Lack of privacy in the bathroom is a big negative for me 😮
No me gusta nada

How do I do this?
Cheers
