Though it has been in the market for only two years, this Brisbane, Queensland-based manufacturer already has a large number of designs in its portfolio. With a declared mission of "helping the world transition towards sustainable housing," the company builds off-grid, high-quality, and sustainable dwellings for a better way of living in Australia.
Byron Bay is one of their most popular designs. Generous in size and masterfully crafted, this model is designed as a comfortable family home on wheels with two loft bedrooms and a spacious common living area, but it's also perfectly suited for singles or couples who want to live large even when downsizing.
However, a lower price tag does not equal lower standards in regards to Removed’s designs. The company only works with qualified tradespeople and high-quality materials throughout the entire production process to ensure their tiny homes are built to the highest standard.
In terms of construction, Byron Bay boasts a steel frame, Earthwool insulation, a durable Colorbond steel roof, and timber wall cladding, with all the materials designed and tested for the unique Australian environment. In terms of styling, the exterior is modern with a medium-toned shade of navy for the siding and natural wood window trim.
Designed as a full-time residence, this house on wheels includes all the amenities you need for comfortable living despite its size limitations, and it still manages to remain airy, luminous, and clutter-free. The practical layout integrates a well-appointed kitchen, a coy living room, a spacious bathroom, two bedrooms with standing-height walkways, and plenty of storage options.
Thanks to a couple of large windows, the living room gets plenty of natural light and offers dwellers great views. The generous size and seamless connection with the kitchen makes it a great entertainment area for guests and could even provide additional overnight accommodation if fitted with a sofa.
The galley-style kitchen is the perfect size for a family home, with some room left for a dining table as well. It is quite well organized, with plenty of cupboards and drawers, while a sink, a two-burner cooktop, a slide-out built-in rangehood, and an under-counter refrigerator ensure full functionality in the cooking space.
Instead of a staircase and a separate ladder, a single set of stairs leads to both lofts, which are connected via a standing height walkway above the kitchen and living area. In terms of design, this is a truly ingenious solution that saves a lot of space downstairs. Moreover, the ability to stand up and walk to the upstairs rooms is a luxury few tiny houses offer.
Last but not least, the bathroom inside Byron Bay is surprisingly stylish. It is a fully tiled bathroom with a full-size shower cabin with glass doors, a sizable vanity with washing machine cavity and an elegant wash basin, and a Nature's Head composting toilet.
Finished in birch plywood cladding all around coupled with waterproof engineered vinyl floors, the interior boasts a soothing, welcoming atmosphere.
With its minimalist yet comfortable and functional design, the Byron Bay tiny home is a great option for anyone looking to strip back their everyday living or create a dreamy bush escape for family holidays. In terms of pricing, the Byron Bay model starts at AUD$134,990 (about USD$90,000), but if you want to truly disconnect from the daily grind and experience off-grid living, Removed offers three off-grid packages that include solar power systems, rainwater tanks, and water filtration systems and range from AUD$19,990 to AUD$29,990 (USD$13,000 and USD$20,000).
