The world has changed. Traditional homes and their milieu no longer fit every need. People want to live more off-grid in natural environments and have the freedom to move home if needed.
Tinyhome Africa builds movable, durable, off-grid tinyhomes and pods on wheels t, allowingeople to live anywhere a road can take them. They are an innovative, cutting-edge company focused and dedicated to providing the very best in LSF structure tiny homes which can be built onto trailers..
With a joint industry expertise of 38 years, Tinyhome Africa launched with its Figur 8 and Studio 4 at the Decorex Design Trail in 2021. Tinyhome Africa specialisse in the psychology of how humans live in their spaces and how design thinking can be used to create comfortable spaces that not only are aesthetically pleasing but are adaptable to one’s needs.
They are, at our their core, designers. This team knows how to pick up a hammer, use industry-specific finishing techniques, and blend design with structure. They look at client’s space, storage, and functionality needs together to create a specific design based on their requierments.
These modular trailers are conceptualised, designed, and constructed using modular building systems for commercial, recreational, and residential use. The construction model is based on a more efficient manufacturing system utilising a prefabricated light steel frame building method.
These guys do things differently. Their modular construction demonstrates a series of benefits over traditional construction including:
- Accelerated building schedules
- Greater certainty on both build times and costs
- Improved quality in a controlled factory environment
- Better energy performance
- Little or no maintenance
Tiny Home modular construction is the most green, self-sustainable, maintenance free, energy efficient, adaptable, home option being created today.
Why Build Using(Light Steel Frame)?
Unlike traditional structures, using LSF is environmentally friendly. A tinyhome or pod can be delivered/ installed in one day, above the ground with minimal disruption to the environment.
What is a tinyhouse
The normal South African home is around 165sqm, but the typical small or tiny house can be anywhere between 20 and 55sqm. A tiny home is a complete home but with a smaller area – anything under 100m². Average price starting at R350k. Homeowners could pay anything up to R1, million and beyond for modular combinations of tinyhome units, depending on the building materials, and finishes selected Since everything is concentrated in a smaller area the square meter rate is higher.
Living tiny when we look at Stats SA’s information we can see that up to 67% of monthly household costs are taken up by housing, transport, food, furnishings and maintenance.
Many of these costs can be reduced when people are living in tiny home villages that are set up as urban farms. Here food can be grown on the land, with solar power, rainwater harvesting and or borehole/dam/river water supply and working from co-work and studio facilities on the property, thereby cutting out the majority of traveling costs.
