In this episode of Living Big In A Tiny House, we meet Lexi and Jed, a couple who have taken the bold step of building their own off-the-grid tiny home on wheels. They share the challenges and triumphs of their DIY journey, from blood, sweat, and tears to the ultimate satisfaction of creating a beautiful home from scratch. With inspiration drawn from tiny house videos and Lexi's long-time dream, they crafted a compact yet cozy abode measuring 2.5m wide, 8m long, and 4.3m high, fitting the standard tiny house dimensions.
The couple's attention to detail is evident in the design choices of their tiny home, featuring pale eucalyptus color steel to seamlessly blend with the natural surroundings. They prioritized keeping the house cool in the Australian heat, utilizing smart solutions like large windows for ventilation and natural light. Their off-grid setup includes solar panels, batteries, a reed bed filtration system, rainwater tank, and a composting toilet, showcasing their commitment to sustainable living.
Inside the tiny house, vibrant colors and rattan details create a welcoming atmosphere, while a multifunctional sofa bed and clever storage solutions maximize the space. The kitchen is a focal point, equipped with a full-size oven, gas hob, and ample storage for Lexi and Jed to indulge in their passion for cooking together. The house's interior features spotted gum flooring, Victorian ash ceiling, and cypress pine collar tie, adding a touch of natural elegance to the compact living space. Through their dedication and creativity, Lexi and Jed have transformed their dream of tiny house living into a reality, proving that with determination and vision, anything is possible.
