The closest anyone under the age of 30 will get to owning a home?

Just when you thought owning a home in 2022 was next to impossible, well, it’s still pretty tough, so much so that Common Knowledge is now slinging a series of ‘tiny homes’ that are, get this, affordable.

Built around being sustainable, affordable, and consciously designed, the 20 square-meter wide abode surprisingly packs quite a lot inside, boasting the likes of a pull-out double guest bed, kitchen, shower, composting toilet and even a mezzanine level. Tying it all together is an exterior of sustainably sourced corrugated hemp cladding, in accordance with the environmentally-friendly ethos of the home.

In a sweet addition, Common Knowledge are offering training to help people build and repair their own versions of the homes if they so please, in order to “empower people to take action on the housing and climate crises”.

So far the houses are trading at around $84,000 AUD, which might sound like a lot for a small home on wheels, but considering the fact that they use 30 percent less energy, it seems like a worthy investment. Check out some more shots of the closest you’ll probably get to owning a home anytime soon below.

“Ultimately, the plan of our Tigín project is not just to build these Tiny Homes, but to teach more than 200 people with the skills to build these or any other project themselves, whilst creating and releasing a free-to-use blueprint at the end of this year,” adds Common Knowledge founder Fionn Kidney.
