'The Tiny' is a tiny off-grid space made from around 99% recycled materials and is designed to serve as an extra bedroom or a studio. The structure was designed and constructed in just 3 months thanks to a collaboration between The Bower -- a Sydney-based co-operative repair and reuse center -- and various partners.
The project is the brainchild of James Galletly, who is looking to spread awareness about the small living movement.
The Tiny is equipped with a solar-powered electrical system which includes LED lighting, an inverter and a power point for charging laptops and other electronic devices.
The Tiny will eventually be sold at auction, with the proceeds set to be split between The Bower and Galletly's next project, a larger and more equipped tiny home.
