Kayla was 21 when she bought 25 acres in the Tasmanian wilderness. Eighteen months later a bushfire took her first home. What stands there now is a little off-grid cabin she made from what survived — salvaged materials, about AU$7–10k — and she’s been living in it nearly nine years, just her and her dog Jemba.

In this episode of Living Big In A Tiny House (YouTube) with Bryce Langston, he shows you the top storage ideas for tiny homes. These are really useful because if you’re looking to downsize, you’ll still find yourself with plenty of stuff. So storage ideas like this are crucial!
And I couldn’t really think of a better person to show you this, because Bryce and his partner Rasa have shown us some of the most incredible tiny houses over the years through their now-legendary channel on YouTube.
This is a story of Paul and Annett and their beautiful off-grid tiny home in Byron Bay, New South Wales. Below you’ll find video tours from Bryce of Living Big in a Tiny House to see for yourself how this couple is living completely off-grid and making the most out of life.
We’re so grateful for being able to live this lifestyle. Even after 2 years of living in our tiny, we sometimes still pinch ourselves.
This is Nick and Frankie, their school bus conversion tiny home, and their 3 beautiful dogs. One night they watched a documentary about a couple who were traveling around the United States, and they looked at each other, and asked, “can we do that?”
Fast forward to today, and they’re living full-time in their custom-built skoolie with a raised roof so it feels pretty spacious inside. It’s painted white, has custom windows, solar panels, and there’s even a wood-burning stove inside to make it feel like you’re in a cabin. Enjoy the photo and video tour below!
Glen is a retired police officer who converted a box truck into a Lord of the Rings-inspired tiny home. As a skilled carpenter, he transformed the interior into something that looks straight out of Middle-earth.
He named the truck Radagast after the brown wizard from The Hobbit. Inside, the truck features a king bed, kitchen, bathroom, and wood fireplace with one of the most incredible hand-crafted interiors you’ll see in a vehicle conversion. From the outside, it looks like an ordinary work truck—completely stealthy.
This is the story of a very unique tiny house in Australia with a pop-up roof loft. The family of three designed and built it themselves and one of the unique things about it is that the loft roof is able to expand upward once the home is parked.
So whenever they want to move the house, they can collapse the roof down so that the house meets the applicable road laws. Pretty smart, right? They even did it in a way that it truly looks permanent once it’s set up! Pretty amazing, don’t you think?
This is Bryce Langston’s tiny home in New Zealand. If you’re a fan of Bryce and his hit YouTube series, Living Big in a Tiny House, you’ve probably been waiting years for this. And the moment is finally here, hehe.
Yup, this project started almost five years ago. Can you believe it? It’s a reminder of just how long it could take to plan and build your perfect tiny house, isn’t it? A tiny house is still a very big project. With only 160-square-feet to work with, you can see why Bryce took his time to get everything right. And yes, this little house on wheels was built to travel.
This is Bryce and Rasa’s North American tiny house on wheels. It’s the vehicle that they use to travel the country to create many of the amazing episodes on their popular Living Big In A Tiny House YouTube channel. And, it’s actually a converted ambulance called the Campulance!
It allows them to live, travel, and work from anywhere in the United States while they capture, edit, and publish incredible stories from their journeys. I just love this couple, they are so inspiring, how about you?
