Bigger isn’t necessarily better. Dan and Marnie Prowse live with their young daughter and a baby in a tiny house that’s less than 32 square metres, which is 1 square metre smaller than the swimming pool that sits alongside.

The couple, who live in Sydney’s southern suburbs, have moved into their first Tiny Haus, designed by Ironbark Architecture + Design and built by Dan himself, who is a builder.

And they couldn’t be happier. “We have friends and family over all the time and we love it,” says Marnie Prowse. “Our Tiny Haus still lets us entertain; we’ve had groups of about 20 people outside and can have about six people inside comfortably. Small space living does not mean you have to isolate yourself – once people get over the initial shock, they are genuinely interested in how we live in this space.”
