Whether you’re looking for a coastal retreat, a hinterland escape, or a permanent tiny home to embrace minimalist living, our local expertise ensures your home is perfectly suited to its environment.
Sustainable Tiny Living for Queensland
The Gold Coast lifestyle – outdoor living, coastal energy, proximity to nature – is exactly what tiny homes are built for. Our homes are designed to maximise indoor-outdoor connection, with elevated decks, large sliding doors, and materials chosen to handle the coastal and subtropical climate.
We’ve built for Gold Coast clients in Currumbin Valley, Tallebudgera, Mudgeeraba, Worongary, and across the Gold Coast hinterland. Our homes are equally at home on an acreage lifestyle block as they are on a standard residential lot.

Joe Arneson and team at LJM built me my tiny house that I absolutely love living in. Joe was wonderful in accommodating my designs for my tiny as well as advising what would and would not work for me. The budget was set with no surprises at the end which was very reassuring. He’s really easy to communicate with and kept me informed at all stages, even though I was 1000 km away! Would highly recommend, and I’m even considering getting another one built by Joe and the team at LJM down the track!
Cannot rate LJM highly enough. Joe and the team were so fabulous to deal with. They built our tiny house while we were interstate so communication was critical and Joe and Vicki in particular excelled at this. The whole build experience was seamless and we are so happy with the quality of the build, the attention to detail is second to none. Exceptionally good value for a very high end product. Joe was with us every step of the way, including delivery and was very helpful and supportive when we were dealing with some challenges with our site. I would definitely recommend LJM! Thank you to Joe, Vicki and the team.
Thank you to Joe and the team at LJM, for going above and beyond in so many ways.You made the build process flow smoothly and with ease, within our timeframe and financial means.I value the guidance, advice and support that was provided throughout each step of the way through open and clear communication. You were able to see and understand my vision and bring it into my reality.
The team at LJM believe in service with a capital ‘S’ and it shows. Great companies have great people from the top down and LJM is an excellent example of how a customer focussed company truly should be. The attitude is beyond ‘can do’. It’s more ‘Let’s make it HAPPEN!”. Our Tiny was fully custom from the trampoline-style reading loft to the drop down trailer (ask Joe – I think he still has nightmares about it!) and nothing was too much. Everything was met with calm and interest in what we wanted.The experience was how building or creating anything should be. We had fun doing it and loved the experience.
We would do it again and we would use LJM exclusively.
