These custom-built kitchens and vanities are a signature feature, enhancing the warmth and character of each tiny home. Their homes are designed to feel like a traditional home, featuring a full-sized kitchen with appliances, a large front-facing main bedroom, a walk-in tiled shower, and an entertainer's lounge. Details such as glass louvres, gas strut windows, and Rosewood sliding doors contribute to the overall sense of luxury and liveability.

Häuslein Tiny House Co

Häuslein Tiny House Co was one of Australia's earliest established tiny house builders, leaving a legacy of popular designs and contributing to a simpler, more sustainable lifestyle. While they are no longer actively manufacturing, their impact on the Australian tiny house movement is evident. Häuslein specialized in crafting move-in-ready tiny houses with a focus on high-quality workmanship and compact, modern living. Their homes were built in Australia and compliant with the Vehicle Standards Bulletin 1, making them road registerable and easily relocatable. The company prided itself on using premium materials, including solid timbers and plywoods, which they believed were superior to many alternatives on the market. Häuslein's tiny houses were designed and built with attention to detail, using quality tools to achieve precise and beautiful finishes. Their experienced tradesmen manufactured almost every aspect of their tiny houses in-house. They aimed for functionality, durability, beauty, and sustainability in their builds. Häuslein offered base designs and variations to suit a host of uses and preferences. They included optional innovations, unique to the company, such as the slide-out feature, further enhancing liveability. They also offered flexibility to tweak these to ensure each tiny house suited the customer perfectly. Häuslein offered solutions for full-time living, granny flats, guest accommodations, weekend retreats, home offices, and rental income opportunities through platforms like Airbnb. Their designs included models like the Chipper, Settler, Grandhaus, Gunyah, Luna, and Eire, each varying in size, layout, and features. The Chipper, for example, was a 5-meter model sleeping 1-2 people, while the Grandhaus reached 9 meters and accommodated 2-4 people. Some models featured ladders or stairs to lofted bedrooms, while others offered single-level living. They also manufactured DIY tiny house trailers, designed to be road registerable. Häuslein emphasized affordability and the potential for homeowners to pay off their tiny homes in a relatively short timeframe compared to traditional mortgages. They highlighted the flexibility of tiny houses, including the potential for off-grid living and connection to mains power and water sources. While no longer building, Häuslein encouraged people to research other reputable companies in the industry.
