THE craze around tiny homes began gaining momentum in the early 2000s, influenced by rising housing costs, a growing interest in sustainable living, and the desire for a simpler, more minimalistic lifestyle. Jump 20 years, and desire for more affordable and downsized living options has further propelled the tiny home movement into the mainstream.
Local business Homes and Domes began offering custom shelving and shipping container shelters, before expanding to shipping container pools and tiny homes by Australian company, My Little House.
From their Archer Street factory, Homes and Domes offer tiny homes from 20 feet (36m2) to 40 feet (72m2), with a new off-the-plan tiny home around 30ft (60m2) recently hitting the market.
Starting from $35,900, floor plans can be tailored to your needs, featuring one or multiple bedrooms, open plan living spaces, and amenities like bathrooms, kitchen and laundry. Every Homes and Domes tiny house comes with a three-year warranty, strong thermally insulated walls and roofs, and fast on-site assembly.
