These Tiny Home videos are ten a penny on YouTube now, but they’re united by the same drives to independence. “Tinies” are cheap compared to some conventional housing and to build one can be a worthwhile labour of love.

This particular example isn’t a self-build but a converted van. The occupant is a wood turner and he’s done a lovely job of it.

What captures my imagination more than anything though, is its self-containedness. The guy has everything he needs (his craft, his independence, his transport, his mental health, his security and comfort) in one little, mobile capsule. It’s delightful.

It’s rare for me to be charmed by a vehicle-based home (other than boats of course) but this one’s fab.
