Ultra Modern Tiny House on Wheels, Australia
In this today's list, we are
going to discuss an amazingly converted and constructed house on wheels. You
can consider well that Designing and building a tiny house on wheels as a
couple can be a real challenge. There's a lot of cooperation and compromise
that goes into creating a space that can work well for both parties.

Inside, the home is every
bit as practical as it is beautiful. Constructed by couple Matt and Lisa in
Blue Mountains Australia, this tiny house has absolutely everything the young
couple needs and many extras on top! As far as tiny homes go, this one is
especially spacious and packed full of clever small space design ideas.
First of all, if we talk
about the land the house is on is very special one. it is a 16 acres area that
goes down to a creek. It does have a beautiful little swimming hole down there.
The area where the house is built creates a really lovely spacious outdoors to
enjoy.
This pretty house has a nine
meters long and two point five meters wide floor. Its height is four point
three meters
Now let's talk about the
style of the house. The house has a black exterior that is kind of blends into
the valley and is quite striking. According to Matt, this project was done as a
DIY build with the help of his friends and colleagues. Basically building a
tiny house on wheels was an idea of his partner Lisa.
This small house has a
beautiful walk through for two pretty cats on the back side of it. The design
in the house is beautiful. You will really love all the artistic features that
were put in the lights at the top. The lounge area is very specious. Matt and
Lisa both like to sort of lay on the couch and watch TV of the most evenings.
So, they wanted a full-sized couch, but they had to make it with little space
because they couldn't find anything with decent storage.
Matt's sister made cushions
for them and the kitchen guys made the drawers pull out and everything. So,
with great effort they succeeded to get a lot of room for book storage and a
few knickknacks as well in the TV lounge.
This very house that is
under discussion is visited by a well known blogger and YouTuber Bryce Langston
with his team. We'd like to provide you with some of real conversation among
Bryce, Matt and Lisa (Matt’s wife). So, here we go:
Bryce: Everything's good,
fantastic, and now this over here is that your cat out door. It certainly is.
Matt: Those little suckers
come up a shootout through the side of the couch and then out this door just
here and 2:00 in the morning when they go in and out flat.
Bryce: it's pretty
entertaining that is such a clever idea. And then you've got a really nice wood
fire here as well.
Matt: Yeah hasn't been cold
enough yet to really get it going. But we did one test runs and it yeah, it's
pretty great.
Bryce: Yeah, and then the
kitchen, this is very spacious.
Matt: Absolutely, no
compromises in here other know we wanted a full size kitchen in here.
Lisa: I came from a very
small house with no kitchen and Matt came from a very big house.
Matt: We've quite a large
kitchen. So it sort of meet in the middle.
Bryce: You've even got these
spectacular marble bench tops. Now, this is something you do not often see in a
tiny house. No, definitely not.
Matt: Yeah, I think I
potentially would have just done it in timber if I could do it again. I just
gotta get some used to, you know, designing things that way so yeah, I'm stoked
for them though.
Bryce: Absolutely! Now, can you
walk me through the design and the features in this kitchen?
Matt: Yeah, so we have a
full size stove. We've got a full size microwave oven. And then we've got our
Butler sink. We've got our pots and pans in there, dishwasher. I don't
necessarily know what's in that drawer. The skirt, glasses and tea towels in
there and help away top away and then we could elect crockery, things like that
upstairs.
Bryce: I really like how
you've managed to build a lot of the appliances into the stairs.
Matt: Yeah, we've noticed a
quite a few tiny houses, sort of, in and around that have their storage in
their stairs and all something that we thought would be good for us, you know,
we have pantry in these sort of four drawers and then we've got our extra
stairs that do have more storage in them for knickknacks and bits and pieces.
Bryce: And again, the
lighting in this space is very well done. Yeah.
Matt: Thank you! We wanted a
bit of understand lighting when you get up at 4 o’ clock in the morning. You do
want to be able to get down the stairs. So that's one. It also doesn't wake the
person still in bed, and then moving over here.
Bryce: What is going on with
these mirrors?
Matt: There are wardrobes
right? Hey good lots of hanging storage, and then we've got a bunch of drawers
which open up all on soft clothing.
Bryce: So you can slam a
wall much as you like and then we let's take a walk in wardrobe right now that
really does give you both quite a lot of closet storage, doesn't it?
Matt: Yeah! It means we've
got 1h, and we're not fighting over hanging space or anything like that and mine
is obviously more messy. That's not paranoid about mine.
Bryce: Quite a clever idea
doing that as well and sort of having that as a transition between the bathroom
and the living space.
Matt: Yeah, definitely means
you're not, sort of, walking straight into a kitchen. You've got a bit of
something in between.
Bryce: Absolutely, and now I
have to ask you about the floors because this is really beautiful how you've
done this transition from the timber floors? And to the tiles this must have
taken forever!
Matt: Yeah, It did so first
step was the Tyler doing his bed and he basically tiled it flat and chiseled
them all the ones that I marked and then the next step was the carpenter and I
making up paper templates and jigsaw hang out the timber to fit so I don't
think he'd do it again in a hurry. But I'm happy with the way it worked out.
After enjoying some of
conversation, let’s check out the remaining features of this modern and fully
functional house.
There is very impressive
bathroom. It is definitely a feature of the house. This bathroom is decorated
with double shower and given a priority of space and at the same time lots of
mirrors there. These are actually storage as well so you can open them up.
Now let’s check out the
upstairs? The loft areas are divided up into two different sections and
connected via walkway. There is a king-sized bed in it with two little side
tables. There's not a whole lot of room beside the bed thing. You can squeeze
in and out. You still have to shimmy down the bed to get in and out of the bed.
Having a walkway makes this loft a lot more usable just having to get your
mates to get up a ladder or maybe your mom or whatever. Some people probably
wouldn't make it so. This is where you really notice the extra height and it's
not that much extra height. But it's enough to enable you to stand before you
get into bed. And it really just makes this whole area feel so much more
spacious.

The roof windows as well are
extended along the entire line of the roof. So you've always got a very dynamic
view of the changing sky, yeah, you do at nighttime too. It's really lovely.
You can see the stars during the day. It does create a bit of a heaven.
What was the cost of
realizing this home? That's a good question?
Matt did not add up every
sort of nickel and dime. There were a few favors and stuff in there and a lot
of that he did himself, it probably worked out around eighty, Ninety thousand
or something like that. So the tiny house is pretty much a dream come true.
As we wrap up this tour of
Matt and Lisa's ultra-modern tiny house on wheels, it's clear that small living
doesn’t mean compromising on comfort or style. From the spacious kitchen and
smart storage solutions to the cozy loft bedroom and stunning outdoor surroundings,
this tiny home proves that with the right design and craftsmanship, you can
have it all in a compact space.
For those inspired by this
build, Matt and Lisa’s journey is a testament to creativity, teamwork, and a
passion for making the most of every inch. And with a cost around $80,000 to
$90,000, this dream home shows that downsizing can be both affordable and luxurious.
