Lou built her 7.2m long tiny house on a Fred’s Tiny Houses flat top trailer in the Northern Rivers area in NSW with the help of her partner and a retired tradie friend. An award-winning travel writer, Lou had no prior experience building, designing or using power tools. That all changed when she set about creating her dream tiny house on wheels. 

Hear about her:

• Experience designing on paper & building for the first time;
• Choice of materials and making changes to her design along the way;
• Designing the lighting and window choices;
• Financial budget breakdown of all the big-ticket items in her tiny house;
• Advice she would give to anyone embarking on their own tiny house journey.
