Kristie Wolfe is a designer, dressmaker and tiny house builder who has several tiny homes to her name. One of her most recent works is an authentic-looking off-grid Hobbit Home that looks like it could have been lifted right from the set of the Hobbit and Lord of the Rings movies.
Cork is a sustainable, easy to produce and fire-retardant material so it makes good sense that Portuguese startup Ecocubo has designed a tiny house using the stuff. The non-towable dwelling is very basic but would be a good fit for a cabin or vacation home and includes all the basics required to live.

They turned out to be naturals at tiny house building and have since launched their own tiny house company called Backcountry Tiny Homes.
Prolific tiny house firm Escape has revealed its latest towable dwelling, the One XL. An upgrade of a smaller model named the One that draws cues from Japanese design, this luxury tiny house is very roomy and light-filled inside. It can also run on or off-the-grid.
