We strive to ensure that your tiny house feels like a true reflection of your unique preferences and needs. Our aim is to craft exquisite and well-crafted tiny houses that cater to a wide range of individuals. With co-founders who embrace the tiny living lifestyle and a diverse customer base, we present a variety of designs that can appeal to most ‘tiny Houser’s’, readily available for selection. Creating a harmonious blend of aesthetics, functionality, and personal flair that truly transforms a house into a home requires meticulous attention to detail. In the realm of limited space, the significance of cohesive design is heightened, and as one of Australia’s most seasoned tiny house companies, we pride ourselves on the precision required to produce exceptional designs that not only function effectively but also exude remarkable beauty. These are the nuances that distinguish a reputable tiny house builder.
The intricacies involved in each design are vast, and a minor alteration can set off a chain of unforeseen consequences! To alleviate this burden, we have streamlined the process by identifying what works best through rigorous testing. Surprisingly, our most satisfied customers often opt for our standard designs, as they entail fewer surprises.
Nonetheless, we acknowledge the desire for personalization or unique modifications and strive to accommodate such requests to the best of our ability. We do advise against excessive alterations, as they may result in compromises on space, weight, additional expenses, resale value, and potentially prolong the completion timeline.
Navigating design changes is a time-consuming endeavor that introduces complexity. It involves significant administrative efforts in facilitating communication between clients and the design team, ensuring that modifications maintain structural and aesthetic integrity, conform to building regulations, researching and pricing materials, and adjusting the workflow accordingly. We impose specific fees for customization requests. For personalized assistance tailored to your distinctive requirements and a detailed quotation, please reach out to our sales team.
At Space Tiny House, we prioritize excellence in craftsmanship, hence our selection of top-tier materials designed for longevity. Our construction avoids the use of chipboard, vinyls, or MDF, opting instead for premium solid timbers and plywood. We meticulously handcraft each element and leverage bulk purchasing to maintain competitive pricing without compromising quality. While we primarily utilize superior materials, modifications are feasible with an associated customization fee.
For further details on customization options and pricing, please consult our sales team. Delve deeper into our material selection rationale by watching a video where Scott elaborates on our choices and the superior alternatives we employ.
The maximum height is 4.3m, the maximum width is 2.5m, and the maximum length is 9m (10.5m including the draw bar). We ensure that our constructions adhere to the regulations for road legality. Consequently, we are constrained to a weight limit of 4.5 tonne. It is unfeasible for us to exceed 9m in length without surpassing the 4.5 tonne limit.
One of the standout features we offer is the innovative ‘slide out’ mechanism. This innovation allows for an additional meter (900mm) of width to be added to a specific section of the dwelling, effectively eliminating the cramped corridor sensation often associated with tiny houses. Furthermore, the option for modular extensions is also available.

Indeed, our Tiny Houses are meticulously crafted to adhere to the legal requirements for transportation on Australian roads and are fully road registrable if necessary. They are officially registered with the Register of Approved Vehicles (RAV), a mandatory procedure for all vehicles marketed in Australia, distinct from road registration. Each unit is equipped with distinctive identification markings, such as a VIN Number and data plate. By law, a Space Tiny House , constructed on a trailer, falls within the realm of caravan legislation. Generally, a Tiny Home does not necessitate road registration, making it an optional process. In rare instances when movement on roadways is essential, a temporary permit known as an Unregistered Vehicle Permit (UVP) can be obtained from the local Transport Authority at a modest cost.
Given that tiny houses are categorized as caravans, regulations pertaining to caravans are applicable. Refer to the NSW legislation for specific details. While there may be slight variations across states and local councils, in most cases, a tiny house can be inhabited by a household member without the need for council approval when situated on a property with an existing dwelling. However, in urban areas or neighborhoods, there are certain constraints regarding the distance from rear and side boundaries.
As of the current moment, if the intention is to position your tiny house on a plot as a primary residence, it can be utilized for a maximum of 60 days per year (with no single duration exceeding 48 hours) without necessitating council approval, such as for purposes like a weekend retreat or an Air B&B setup. Additionally, it can serve as accommodation for seasonal workers on a rural property throughout an agricultural worker’s season without the requirement for council authorization.
Should the plan involve using it as a permanent residence either as the sole dwelling or as one among several tiny houses on a property, an application for approval must be made to the local council. Following discussions with our local Port Macquarie/Hastings Council, assessments related to zoning regulations, fire and flood safety measures, as well as drainage arrangements will be conducted, although this process is expected to be feasible. Each council may have variations in their requirements, hence it is advisable to consult with yours. Notably, the approval process for tiny homes might be more straightforward compared to traditional construction due to certain exemptions from the typical Development Application (DA) procedures owing to the portable nature of tiny homes. As of the present time, legislative amendments are being considered in NSW, therefore, it is advisable to directly contact your local council for the most recent updates and information.

Absolutely, we provide a comprehensive installation service which includes leveling and mounting onto individually adjustable piers, along with a secure tie-down system. This meticulous process ensures the utmost stability for your tiny house. Moreover, our removable draw bars allow for a seamless transition, enabling you to remove the wheels and transform your tiny house into a stationary abode that resembles a traditional home.
Our tiny houses are equipped with standard caravan connections. Power can be effortlessly established by plugging into a typical 240v power socket, while water connectivity is as simple as attaching a regular garden hose. It couldn’t be easier!
You have two primary options available. If you are situated in a densely populated area, you can opt for a conventional flush toilet connected to an existing septic system (ensure that your system has the capacity to accommodate an additional bathroom – most systems should be able to). Additionally, the drainage system would need to be linked to your current drainage setup. The estimated cost for both installations could range around $1000, depending on the distance between your systems and the location of your tiny house.
Inquiring about the necessity of council approval for plumbing your tiny house into existing systems, based on discussions with our local council, as of the current time, it appears that it is not required. It is also relatively easy to disconnect the tiny house and relocate it elsewhere. However, it is essential to ensure that the sewage system can handle the intended usage. It is advisable to directly verify with your local council, as regulations may differ among councils.
The alternative option for the toilet is a composting toilet, which allows your tiny house to operate independently. These toilets are highly efficient and do not emit any odors. A well-regarded brand of composting toilets that we recommend is Green Loo, for more detailed information.
As previously mentioned, if your tiny house is in a built-up area, the drainage system can be connected to the existing drainage network. Alternatively, a grey water filtration system can be installed. In certain situations, a simple slotted pipe system in the ground with layers of gravel and sand for filtration may be suitable. It is crucial to use environmentally friendly soaps and products.
Guttering can be installed on your tiny house; however, this should be done on-site as it would exceed the legal width restrictions during transportation. It is advisable to engage a local plumber to supply and install the guttering (they may also assist in connecting the toilet or grey water system simultaneously). The guttering can be color-matched to the Monument Matt Colorbond cladding used in our tiny houses.
Indeed, it is feasible! There are four primary aspects to consider when transitioning off-grid: power supply, water source, toilet facilities, and drainage system. Various effective solutions are available for each of these requirements, such as solar power combined with battery systems, composting toilets, water collection systems with pumps, and efficient drainage setups. While Space Tiny House can offer recommendations on these systems, customers typically order them directly from suppliers. For more detailed information, please refer to the blog post titled ‘8 things to consider before embracing the tiny lifestyle,’ or feel free to reach out to us for further assistance.
Surprisingly, no! The innovative design of composting toilets incorporates a ventilation system that constantly expels air, ensuring a consistently fresh atmosphere in your bathroom. We highly recommend options like the EcoFlo low-profile composting toilet or the GreenLoo GL90, specifically tailored for tiny houses.
Upon receiving information about your chosen system, we can prepare the necessary installation site. However, the actual installation is typically arranged by the customer on-site. While some individuals may find it manageable as a DIY project with the provided instructions, others might opt to seek assistance from a professional plumber.
Ladders are a great option. They provide a secure means of ascent, ensuring that you always have three points of contact for safety. Moreover, our ladders are designed to extend beyond the floor level, offering a sturdy grip until you reach the top. In addition, they can facilitate a more practical kitchen layout, featuring ample counter space and a convenient breakfast bar.
Nevertheless, we acknowledge that ladders may not be suitable for everyone. Hence, we offer a diverse range of models and configurations with stairs as the standard alternative. Furthermore, we have introduced two single-level designs to our collection, catering to a wider range of preferences. It is worth noting that in our stair models, we adhere to Australian code specifications for the dimensions of the steps and risers, a rare practice in the realm of tiny houses. We believe that this commitment to safety and comfort is paramount.
From time to time we attend tiny house events across Australia with a completed tiny house on hand or run our own events. Sign up to our mailing list to stay informed. You can also Book a Tour here and visit our workshop where you can see what we currently have on hand.
