WHEN house prices in their area doubled, designers Cris Edwards and Bryh Joy found a simple solution. Bryh had worked as an interior designer for 25 years and Cris was her assistant - and they felt tiny homes were the way forward. After designing for other people for years, they were “just dying to” create their own visions.
Living in Queensland, Australia, house prices hugely increased when Covid hit, with many people renovating caravans to curb costs. But instead of caravans, Cris and Bryh saw huge potential in tiny homes - and these are no garden shed. Having not heard of tiny homes before, Bryh through Cris meant doll furniture when she suggested the idea.
But once the pair "took a deep dive into the tiny house community which is fully of beautiful people", they solidified their decision to start a tiny house company, shaking on it over a cocktail. They set up Big Life, Tiny Home Australia shortly afterwards. The pair say their tiny homes come " without a huge mortgage, without the stress of dealing with builders who don't listen to you or live through messy renovations, leaving you more time and money to enjoy life.
" They are " affordable , with no...
expensive maintenance, [they are] super quick to clean and leaves you more time and money for the fun stuff." "Less is more," they say. With tiny houses, people can have "more financial freedom, something beautiful and things that they might not be able to afford in a larger home.
" And although tiny homes are much cheap.
