Australia's Build Tiny has crafted a charming escape that proves small living doesn't have to sacrifice character. The Tallarook Hilltop Tiny House 1 sits perched on a stunning hilltop in rural Victoria, offering sweeping views over Broadford and Kilmore while embracing the raw, unpretentious aesthetic of agricultural architecture. Built on a double-axle trailer, the home's corrugated metal siding and matching roof create an almost utilitarian appearance that feels right at home against the backdrop of Mount Piper and the Tallarook State Forest. This design choice reflects a refreshing departure from the sleek, apartment-style tiny homes that dominate today's market. Instead, Build Tiny has returned to the movement's roots, celebrating the cabin-like simplicity that first inspired people to downsize.

Bindloss Dawes Architects has completed a unique zero-carbon eco house created from the adaptive reuse of a former tractor shed on the edge of the idyllic village of Nether Compton in Somerset. The project embodies qualities central to Bindloss Dawes' approach: agricultural architecture, contemporary design, and exemplary environmental performance. The result is a home that feels both spacious and intimate.
