Lessons from This New Zealand Tiny House
Ruby Alice Wheeler’s enchanting property offers insights for tiny living with separate structures:
- Separate bathhouses create spa-like experiences – Walking to a dedicated bathing structure feels intentional and luxurious
- Garden shed aesthetics blend structures into the landscape – The bathhouse looks like it belongs on a farm
- Floor-to-ceiling windows transform utilitarian spaces – Natural light and views elevate a simple bathroom
- Outhouses can include modern conveniences – A small sink adds functionality without compromising simplicity
- Proper ventilation makes outhouses pleasant – Slanted roofs with vents address the practical concerns
- Generational family land enables creative tiny living – Existing property makes alternative structures possible
- Multiple small structures offer flexibility – Separating functions into buildings allows for staged building and future modifications
- Handcrafted details create charm – Personal touches make structures feel like home rather than temporary solutions

Beautiful details.
Charming! Love the natural wood finishes especially
Really nice in every respect. Does anyone have any information on where one could purchase a toilet like the one shown in the photograph? That vented toilet is quite unique.
New Zealand… after all the tiny home is built in NZ? Whilst (fancy word) it could be imported it is probably an NZ item. I recall seeing similar items in Quirky constructions. However, YMMV
It’s a Bioloo, NZ company…
The wind vent is actually something quite a few offer as an option, instead of just the normal electric fan, just most don’t opt for such a large vent pipe, and it’s one of the options available for larger, complete composting systems. Typically, gravity based, there would be a unit placed somewhere below, typically in a basement that the waste goes to and goes through the whole composting process. So you only have to dump the finished compost/soil… While some offer flush systems that can let you place the composter a good distance away, typically up to 70 feet away or even the floor above for more flexible layout placement…
There’s even a few alternatives that use a bio-digester that generates gas you can use to cook with as well as compost tea, instead of your typical composting…
The best I’ve seen. Nice and wide and so beautiful having the separate outhouse and bathhouse. Look up at the stars. Lovely.
Nice filming job Bryce. Clare.
I saw this in Tiny House Big Living. This girl is a very smart woman. She made the most of her surroundings and I just love how she can separated her home in a unique way. Well done, dear! You inspire me.
I like it! 🙂
You know with all the Earth Quakes around the World, I would to see an update. Meaning how well Tiny Homes have held up? I don’t know how one would get a hold of the Tiny homes owner maybe checking in on one of the owners whose story was presented here? I would also live be to see more or just a few stories of handicapped homes. There must be more then one store ie, the Brother who built a dome bagged and Cobb tea house. Maybe its just me, however I think more people with Disability would see that there is a tiny home for everyone.
Can someone tell what kind of toilet that is? Since it’s an out house I think it’s composting? I just curious how it works? Anyone knows let me know please Thanks Julie
