Today, Alannah from the Tiny House Community in Christchurch came in to talk to us about tiny homes. She and her partner are building a tiny home themselves - on a trailer! While they build their tiny home, they are living in a sleep out.
The interior of the tiny home is made of steel framing. Inside, the wood they use will be rimu and pine. It was fascinating hearing the pros and cons of living in a tiny home as well as the process Alannah is taking to build her home. She told us that even families are living in tiny homes and that it can work really, really well.
We had lots of questions as it was really interesting hearing what she had to say about tiny homes!
Thank you for coming to visit us Alannah!

We measured the size of Alannah's tiny home on the court (2.4m by 6.5m) and we stood inside it. It was a small space!! |
