You’re going to love this reclaimed-material home built by Amie and Tom. The house sits on a beautiful piece of land in Wales, where they also run a forest school where children can spend their days exploring in nature. Not only is the home entirely off-grid — with a water catchment system, composting toilet, and solar panels — it was built almost entirely from discarded materials that they resued.

The house has a lovely living room space with a couch that folds into a double bed and lots of clever built-in storage. They have a table space that doubles as extra counter space, and two lofts. One loft has a clever office space and the other one houses their bedroom. Enjoy the tour below!

Highlights:

Amie and Tom wanted to settle down and find a house with less of an impact on the land. A tiny home seemed like a somewhat crazy, but amazing option.
They also wanted to begin a forest school, so they joined a lot of local Facebook groups and found people who were interested in having the school and tiny house on their property.
The couple has an amazing grey water filtration system that uses plants to filter the water, and they catch rainwater and use solar power.
So much of the home is reclaimed items that others were throwing away. The furniture is largely made of bed slats, and the flooring was being tossed out by a neighbor. Even the greenhouse is built from an old shower surround!
