Our LJM Tiny Homes Featured on Living Big in a Tiny House
The world’s biggest tiny house channel. Eight of our builds. Every single one a real person’s real story.
If you’ve spent any time in the tiny home world, you already know Living Big in a Tiny House. Bryce and Rasa have built one of the most watched channels on the planet by doing one thing beautifully — finding real people who’ve chosen to live differently, and telling their stories with so much heart it makes you rethink everything.
Over the years, we’ve been incredibly honoured to have eight of our LJM builds featured on their channel. And here’s the part that still gives us goosebumps — Bryce and Rasa liked what we do so much, they trusted us to build their own tiny home. More on that soon.
Every episode is different. Every story is real. And every single home was built right here in our factory in Coolum Beach, Queensland, then delivered to people all over Australia who were ready to start something new.
Here’s the full round-up.
1. Earthquake Recovery Tiny Home — One of Our Most Powerful LJM Tiny Homes Living Big Features
🔗 Watch here: https://www.livingbiginatinyhouse.com/episodes/after-losing-everything-in-an-earthquake-she-built-this-amazing-tiny-house/
After losing everything, Vicki chose to rebuild — not just her home, but her whole sense of safety and grounding. Her LJM build is warm, practical and deeply considered, with a beautiful U-shaped kitchen in a soothing turquoise palette, clever multifunctional storage throughout, and a feeling of calm permanence in every corner.
This episode is one of the most moving things we’ve ever been part of. It’s a reminder that a tiny home can be so much more than four walls. It can be a safe haven, a fresh start, a place where you finally exhale.
2. Simple Luxury & Freedom — A Standout Sunshine Coast LJM Tiny Homes Living Big Feature
Crisp whites, clean lines and large windows framing the kind of views that make you forget what day it is. This is one of our most architecturally striking builds — a minimalist home set against a stunning Sunshine Coast backdrop, off-grid capable and designed to feel like you’re on holiday every single day.
This episode captures something we really believe at LJM: luxury doesn’t have to mean big. It means thoughtful.
3. Modern Minimalist With a Retro Twist — A Creative LJM Tiny Homes Living Big Feature
🔗 Watch here: https://www.livingbiginatinyhouse.com/episodes/modern-minimalist-tiny-home-with-a-retro-twist/
This one is just plain fun. A client with a strong personal style wanted something contemporary but warm, with a bit of personality thrown in — and the result delivers on all fronts. Retro colour accents, textural cabinetry, warm timber details and a kitchen layout that genuinely made us proud.
It’s proof that tiny living can be deeply, unapologetically you.
4. A Tiny Home After Divorce — One of the Most Emotional LJM Tiny Homes Living Big Features
🔗 Watch here: https://www.livingbiginatinyhouse.com/episodes/she-built-this-tiny-house-after-divorce-and-it-changed-everything/
This build holds a really special place in our hearts. Designed for a woman stepping into a brand new chapter of life, every decision was made with her in mind — her lifestyle, her taste, her sense of what home should feel like.
Soft, welcoming colours. A layout built around how she actually lives. And a quiet sense of empowerment in every room. This episode shows that downsizing doesn’t mean settling. Sometimes it means finally getting exactly what you need.
5. The Rasa Mahal — Bryce & Rasa’s Personal LJM Tiny Homes Living Big Feature
Watch the start-to-finish build here
Okay, this one.
Bryce and Rasa — the couple behind Living Big in a Tiny House, the people who have spent years visiting the most extraordinary tiny homes in the world — chose LJM to build their own. We still pinch ourselves.
The Rasa Mahal is everything. Organic curves, soft feminine details, luxurious textures and a grounding colour palette that wraps you in calm the moment you step inside. It was a true collaboration between their vision and our craftsmanship, and every detail was deliberate.
The start-to-finish build episode is a beautiful behind-the-scenes look at our team, our process and what goes into every LJM home. If you want to understand what makes us different, start here.
7. She Lost Her Apartment, Then Built This Stunning Tiny House for Her and Her Daughter
After losing her apartment, this mum needed more than just a roof over their heads. She needed a home that felt genuinely safe, warm and theirs. We built her a double-loft design with real separation and privacy for mum and daughter, storage that actually works for family life, and a warmth throughout that hits you the moment you walk in.
This one is a beautiful example of tiny living solving a real problem — affordability, stability and a sense of home — without compromising on any of the good stuff.
7. The solo mum who never stopped — Briony’s story
Eight years ago, Briony was freshly divorced with two kids and starting from scratch. She didn’t wait for the stars to align. She renovated a derelict caravan, upgraded, kept going, and eventually arrived at her dream: a breathtaking single-level luxury tiny home built perfectly for her life.
At 6’2, she needed a home that didn’t feel like a compromise. So we made sure it didn’t. High ceilings, enormous windows, a resort-style bedroom and bathroom, a palatial kitchen and an integrated office. Every centimetre designed around her.
Briony also runs Park My Tiny — a platform connecting tiny home owners with landowners across Australia. She’s one of the most inspiring people in this community and we’re so proud this home is hers.
8. A family home that truly thrives — Sam, Ayana and their two kids
Set beside a river and surrounded by regenerating native forest, this is one of our largest and most loved builds. At 10.5m x 3m, Sam and Ayana’s home was designed from the ground up for real family life — not just right now, but well into the future.
Native timbers, clay finishes, soft fabrics. A kitchen built for cooking with love and sharing with people you care about. A generous lounge for family game nights and lazy Sundays. A bathroom with direct access to the outdoors. Two sleeping lofts for parents and children. A large wraparound covered deck that opens the whole home into the landscape.
And then there’s Ayana’s touch — her handcrafted ceramic pieces, including the most beautiful light fittings we’ve ever seen, give this home a soul that no stylist can manufacture. It’s lived in. It’s loved. And it’s exactly what tiny living looks like when it’s done with real intention.
Sam and Ayana also run their business Great Spirit and have built a beautiful, debt-free life around their family. Knowing we played a part in that story — that’s everything.
Why this means so much to us
We get asked a lot: how do we know LJM is the right builder?
And honestly, eight episodes on the world’s most watched tiny house channel — including the hosts’ own home — is a pretty good answer.
But beyond that, what these features really mean to us is this: every single one of those people trusted us with something really important. A fresh start. A family home. A dream they’d been carrying for years. And we got to help make it real.
That’s the work. That’s why we show up every day in our factory in Coolum Beach — to build homes that genuinely change people’s lives.
If you’re ready to start your own story, we’d love to have a chat. Book a discovery call, visit our factory in Coolum Beach, or just reach out and tell us what you’re dreaming of. Every LJM home starts with a conversation. Let’s have yours.
