There are a lot of tiny houses which cost $60,000 or more which I am head over heels in love with—but I also am in love with the idea of saving money. After all, that is supposed to be one of the main principles of tiny living—doing more with less.
This cool little home was built using a special technique called “earthbag construction.” Intrepid tiny house creators Steph and Rob put it together with the help of people in their New South Wales community who wanted to learn how the technique works.
The house has a 13 foot diameter. This is the only photo I have found to share which has people in it, so it gives you the best idea of its size.
It took around 700 hours to erect the basic structure. Additional hours were needed in order to finish the floor and walls and to put in the windows and doors.
The total cost for construction was a mere $2,500. Now that is how you build a home on a budget! More info here and this PDF explains the building process.
