our designs
Not So Tiny offers 6 unique tiny home floorplans, available in 4 different sizes. Our designs range from compact one-bedroom homes (25sqm.) perfect for a downsized lifestyle or guest house, to spacious three-bedroom homes (57 sqm. and 90 sqm.) built to accommodate the whole family.
All Not So Tiny homes feature high-end finishes and top-of-the-line appliances, delivering a premium, modern living experience. All our homes are thoughtfully designed to maximise functionality without compromising on comfort or style.
With open plan living, functional kitchen and laundry zones, and carefully considered storage, every inch of space is used with intention. Larger designs (44, 57 and 90 sqm.) offer added benefits like a four-meter internal width and high square set ceilings, creating an elevated sense of space and sophistication.

our point of difference (the not so tiny difference)
We offer clear build cost pricing, with our advertised price reflecting the build quality and finish you see on our website and within our display home (no ‘starting from’ pricing).
We build a quality product, that is what our brand stands for, with a proven history of successful transportation and installation. This is achieved with a hot dipped heavy duty galvanised steel base and a vented batten system for our walls and roof.
Our product is designed, engineered and built for Tasmanian conditions, this includes Nailstrip Structuur cladding, fully lined under with vermin and bushfire mesh.
We offer one, two and three-bedroom floorplans with over height square set ceilings and 2400mm high doors. Fitout features high-end finishes, including wool carpet, premium Karndean flooring, Xenolith bench tops, textured tiles, brush nickel tapware, undermount sinks and natural timber features.
Builds are complete, fully wired and plumbed, with joinery, fittings and appliances included.
Our Not So Tiny homes meet current building codes and Tasmanian Council standards, with packages including architectural plans, engineering, and energy ratings. Building specifications also meet the Council’s definition for an ancillary dwelling or secondary residence in the Tasmanian Planning Scheme.
Unlike many renovations and new builds, upfront costing and a time frame is provided for each Not So Tiny home, reflecting a price promise to remain transparent and genuine.
client testimonials
“We are absolutely delighted with our Not So Tiny home. Tom and Ange were a pleasure to work with throughout — responsive, professional and flexible — and delivered a very high quality product on time and on budget. We have lived in our home for over a year now and just love it. The house doesn’t feel tiny and the quality of the design and work really show. Highly recommend and we will be back if we ever need to build again.”

“I stumbled across Not So Tiny when I was searching for a suitable caravan to use as a temporary home on my land. I fell in love with the idea and, before I knew it, my beautiful new home was being transported all the way from Dilston, just outside Launceston, to Hobart. The whole process was made so easy and stress-free by Tom and Ange, and it wasn’t long before I was living in my new Not So Tiny home. It’s now been three years, and the build is still as rock solid as the day it was delivered. All of the fixtures are still working perfectly and are commented on quite often. I’ve had so many lovely comments about the design and how perfect it would be for others if given the opportunity. Tom also made it possible for my home to be elevated three metres off the ground, which means I get to enjoy my beautiful water and mountain views every day. I honestly wouldn’t change a thing. I just love my beautiful new home and would definitely recommend Not So Tiny to anyone looking for something special.”

“Tom and Ange at Not So Tiny Homes were amazing to deal with. They took care of all the council permits and paperwork, and their open communication meant that we were fully informed and could raise questions whenever needed. Every fitting, appliance and detail in the home was well thought out, and the Blue Gum two bedroom home has become our grown children’s new accommodation. Thank you Not So Tiny.”
