A Moment of Gratitude
To our clients, families, followers and community — thank you.
Your trust, excitement and support have carried us from a small family-run operation to one of Australia’s leading tiny home builders with awards at both state and national levels.
Becoming Finalists in the Sunshine Coast Business Awards 2025 was especially meaningful. This is our home, our community and where every LJM tiny home begins. Standing alongside so many incredible local businesses was a true honour.

Being named Builder of the Year for the second time is a milestone we never take for granted.

our commitment to engineering, safety and weight compliance
the way we support families through the design process
the long-term partnerships we have with local suppliers
our community impact and customer care

Best Family Tiny Home 2025 – Noosa 10m x 3m
Family living in small spaces requires thoughtful design, and this award means so much to us.
Growing up in tiny spaces himself, Joe deeply understands what families truly need:
safe and simple loft access
separate sleeping zones
durable finishes
natural airflow
ample storage
layouts that evolve as kids grow
Winning Best Family Tiny Home 2025 honours our mission to make tiny living not only achievable — but enjoyable — for Australian families.
Best Design 2025 — Noosa 10m x 3m
The Noosa holds a special place in our hearts — and this year it was officially recognised for its beauty, functionality and innovation.
What makes the Noosa award-winning:
10m x 3m footprint that feels incredibly spacious
Warm coastal palette and timeless materials
Full-size kitchen with premium Polytec cabinetry
Light-filled windows framing nature beautifully
Ground-floor bedroom
Handcrafted joinery and thoughtful detailing
A flow that feels effortless and intuitive
It’s everything we believe a tiny home should be — beautiful, functional and a joy to live in.
Finalists — Sunshine Coast Business Awards 2025
Being named a finalist in the Sunshine Coast Business Awards was a huge honour for our entire team.
This recognition from our own community reflects:
our growth within the Sunshine Coast manufacturing sector
our commitment to supporting local suppliers
our investment in jobs and training
our family-first, customer-first culture
our impact on local tourism, housing and innovation
To be acknowledged among the Coast’s most respected businesses is something we are incredibly proud of. It’s a reminder of how lucky we are to build homes — and dreams — right here in Coolum Beach.
Our Heart, Our Story, Our Why
From Joe’s childhood in a converted bus in rural New Zealand to building hundreds of tiny homes a year — the heart behind LJM has always stayed the same.
We believe:
home is a feeling
good design changes lives
small spaces can be beautiful
craftsmanship matters
families always come first
These awards remind us why we do what we do — and who we do it for.
What’s Ahead for 2025 and Beyond
The momentum of this year has inspired us more than ever. Coming up:
more national custom builds
off-grid upgrades and new tech
open factory events
expanded design and styling offerings

There is so much to look forward to.
Thank You for Being Part of Our Story
These awards belong to our whole community — our team, our clients and every family who has trusted us with their dream tiny home.
If you’re exploring tiny living for 2025 and beyond, we’d love to help you design something truly special.
Here’s to another year of building with heart.
