Tiny Houses SUPERFAD

    • Design

Pimped-out tiny houses have been popping up all over the country.
The movement seems like a natural fit for Kiwis, harking back to our rural roots, but does that extend to urban settings?
In the final Superfad episode, hosts Laura Walters and Katie Kenny move in to a tiny house on the prarie. They learn how its owner and builder pieced it together for a mere $8000. They also discuss the fad with a young Wellingtonian who is happily living, and working, in a shipping container by the sea. But even he admits its not all idyllic in tiny house living, so while political leaders are largely behind the craze it's unlikely we'll see the kinds of legal changes needed to make tiny houses a big part of the solution to New Zealand's housing crisis.
Read more about the tiny house craze on the Superfad page on Stuff.
And join the Superfad Facebook group to share your thoughts on this trend, and others.
Katie and Laura are hosting Facebook live videos each Monday, where they will answer your questions, and take you behind the scenes.
