About Tiny House Scotland



I started Tiny House Scotland in February 2014 as an overall banner for my experimental small scale eco building projects. After many months of research and development I built the first prototype - the NestHouse™.
I was then asked to produce a two bedroom version of this design for Social Bite in Edinburgh - there are 11 NestHouse Duos in the project. I then started on my next prototype - the NestPod™ - a mobile tiny house on its own trailer also known as a living wagon. I
Tiny House Scotland represents my personal crusade to bring together the physics of building science with aesthetic design and individual craftsmanship to create a new alternative for small scale sustainable living. The aim is to create a holistic result which is beautiful and functional both inside and outside.
It is a clear matter of principle for me that Tiny House Scotland is a micro business - I work on my own and sustainably - my craft is my work and I am not trying to make a huge profit or vast sales, just be paid for my time, skills and creativity. There's a large dollop of Karma involved - I LOVE what I do!
Please note that I work alone as a craftsman producing two or three bespoke builds per year to client's commission. I prefer to have control of every step of the process and I am passionate about the sustainability of individuals designing and making to produce uniqueness and beauty; no corner cutting, no reverence for profit - just an artisanal dedication!
My aim is to build the finest and most original tiny houses...
...it's the Fine Art of Moveable Mobile Architecture
I just love working and experimenting with wood and wooden buildings. That's the Tiny House Concept in a nutshell - Less is MORE and brings greater happiness!
