Tiny House Scotland

Tiny House Scotland is owned and run by Jonathan Avery whose flagship build is the NestHouse ("a highly insulated modular moveable small eco-house") which is 3.4m wide and available in three different lengths (3.6m, 4.8m and 6m) although the modular nature of the design means additional sections can be added. He is also working on a NestPod which will be 2.55m wide and road towable. Here's what Jonathan says about his work:

Beach huts for sale

They're not really tiny homes (though you can sleep overnight in some of them) but it's that time of the year again when beach huts start to hit the headlines again. As always, it's the ludicrous price of beach huts on Mudeford Spit, Christchurch, Dorset that the media love to get up in arms about (the Metro is particularly 'outraged'). Pictured above is one of the most expensive, on at £275,000 with beach hut specialists Denisons which was built only eight years ago. It's double glazed and insulated, with a battery-operated pumped water system and water tank under the hut, gas water heater, inside lavatory with removable waste tank, mezzanine floor for sleeping, plus fridge, and solar panels. Could just about sleep 6.
