Our story begins in 2013, when our founder, Shaye Boddington, decided to design and build her first tiny house. Shaye (and her then-partner) had purchased some land and wanted an affordable and environmentally friendly home for themselves. That's how Shaye came to design and build "Lucy", her first tiny home (Seen in our logo!). What started as a one-off project has since turned into a passion and a growing business!

​

While living in her tiny home, Shaye became a mother and got to experience small-space living with a small human! She decided she could design more suitable tiny homes for such circumstances and was motivated to design and build her second tiny home to see her new ideas come to life. With this second tiny home, Shaye began her business of designing and building beautiful small spaces for people who wanted not only to live in a beautiful home, but also tread more lightly, and live more consciously.

​

Having experienced first-hand the financial freedom, ease of living, and joy that a tiny home offers, Shaye was inspired to start up her tiny home factory by teaming up with a group of excellent builders, and Shaye's Tiny Homes was formed. Over the years, we have come to specialise in exquisitely designed, beautiful and highly livable tiny houses, minor dwellings and modular small spaces - built to the highest standards. 

​

Since those early days, the business has grown significantly. Combining Shaye's design know-how and experience with a group of highly skilled builders and support staff, we now design and build 15-20 high-quality tiny homes, minor dwellings, or modular homes each year. 

​

At Shaye's Tiny Homes, we strive to create homes that are equally practical and beautiful, while also being sustainable. By utilising our "Modular" principles, we work to keep housing affordable and encourage people to think of their home as something that can grow with them as their needs change over the years and decades. We're just as passionate about helping people enter into their first home as we are about assisting people downsizing and retiring into a smaller space to enjoy their retirement years. When it comes to carefully crafted, smaller space living, there is a beautiful solution for everyone.

 

We believe that tiny houses can help solve some of the big challenges the world faces by providing affordable homes, being more sustainable and energy-efficient than traditional houses, and freeing their owners up financially. We're incredibly proud to be part of that movement and look forward to helping more people and families into their own homes.
