After traveling the world with nothing but a backpack, living tiny was nothing new to Gemma. But building a tiny house from the trailer up? Well, that was a new challenge, but one she met gladly with the help of her dad.
She has a whole off-grid setup, including solar panels, a rainwater catchment system, and a composting toilet. Recycled materials, such as donated insulation, helped keep costs down, and she chose to use MDF instead of plywood to save money. You’re going to love the tour of this creative space!

Highlights:
- Gemma was a world traveler for years, living out of nothing but a backpack.
- She didn’t want to get back into the rat race of renting apartments, so she decided to attempt a tiny house build with the help of her dad.
- Using oodles of reclaimed and recycled materials, Gemma was able to complete the build for only $22,000 USD!
- She chose a loft bedroom, but she now has a twin bed on the first floor as her couch, and it can be a first floor sleeping option.
- The whole house is off-grid, with solar power, a generator, and a rainwater catchment system.
