NEW YORK: The five hundred and fifty-eighth entry for the seniors housing Global Awards 2016 has been received.
A Taupo couple are considering building and selling “tiny houses” for a living after their own tiny house gained attention when it went up for sale.
Holly Bowen and Oli Bucher, both 28, built their 7m x 3m home themselves with the help of YouTube, only hiring a plumber and electrician.
The mini-abode is open plan, containing a small kitchen, bathroom, living room, and loft-style bedroom. It has both a staircase and a climbing wall up to the loft, cupboards with room for a washing machine, insulation and double glazing.
They have been living in the house for 10 months, but are moving on after they received an offer on their land that they couldn’t refuse.
The house cost $45,000 to build, and they have now sold it and it’s attachable deck for $81,000.
