I thought I’d show you Nancy’s tiny house.

It’s approximately 14’x9′ and is really unique because it’s a flexible, breathable structure.

And it’s made from materials around the sheep pasture where it’s located in Turangi, New Zealand.

These materials include bamboo, silage netting and wool from the thousands of sheep there.

By the way, Tika Whare means “true home” in Maori. And Maori are the people of New Zealand.

I know this is a completely unrealistic tiny house option but it’s so unique I just had to share it.

And Nancy, the creator, built it as art.

It definitely got me thinking of how fortunate we are to have the ability to build more permanent and durable structures so we don’t have to constantly rebuild after bad weather.

So yeah, I just thought I’d share and I hope you enjoyed it and that it also got you thinking a little.
