Nestled in the picturesque town of Linlithgow, United Kingdom, Tiny House Scotland stands as a beacon of innovation in the world of sustainable living. Founded by the visionary Jonathan Avery, this establishment has redefined the concept of tiny houses, merging artistry with functionality.
Jonathan Avery is not just the owner but the heart and soul of Tiny House Scotland. With a lifelong passion for architecture, green ecological design, and sustainability, he embarked on a journey to design and construct unique wooden buildings. These aren't just any buildings; they are masterpieces that offer protection from the elements while being light-filled and snug. Jonathan's mission is clear: to create spaces that not only serve a functional purpose but also delight and uplift the spirit. His creations, the NestHouse™ and NestPod™, are testaments to his dedication and craftsmanship.
The NestHouse™ is a marvel in the realm of moveable micro architecture. Completed in June 2016, this prototype is the result of over two years of meticulous research and development by Jonathan. Designed as a highly insulated modular moveable micro house, the NestHouse™ is energy-efficient, eco-friendly, and can be powered on-grid, off-grid, or hybrid. With its spacious design, it offers a comfortable living space and can be customized in various lengths and module combinations. It's not just a house; it's a lifestyle statement.
The NestPod™, often referred to as the ""living wagon,"" is a mobile multi-use tiny house on wheels. Each NestPod™ is expertly designed by Jonathan, ensuring that every unit is a unique architectural gem. Available in three models - the Solo, Outback, and Venture, and four form factors - house, barn, barrel-top, and swoosh, the NestPod™ offers versatility and style. It's designed for full-time living, setting it apart from other mobile homes or glamping pods.
Tiny House Scotland's commitment to society is evident in its collaboration with the Social Bite Homeless Village in Edinburgh. Jonathan provided the design concept for the tiny houses in this project, resulting in the Social Bite NestHouse Duo, a two-bedroom variant of the original NestHouse™. This initiative has already made a significant impact, with several community members transitioning from the village to permanent accommodation.
Tiny House Scotland's dedication to green principles is commendable. From minimizing waste during construction to using solar-powered driers and running the main workshop on a rechargeable battery system, every step is taken with the environment in mind. Jonathan's personal contribution to the environment includes planting over 3500 trees in the past decade, creating wildlife ponds, and extensive rewilding efforts.
Tiny House Scotland is more than just a manufacturer; it's a movement. A movement towards sustainable living, towards embracing the beauty of micro-architecture, and towards creating a better future. With Jonathan Avery at the helm, one can only expect this movement to grow, inspire, and make a lasting impact on the world of architecture and beyond.
