Lara is a remarkable solo builder who has created a beautiful tiny home that feels warm, rustic and full of heart. She built her home completely from scratch for just £12,000 and even milled her own timber to make it happen.
With no prior building experience and plenty of people telling her it couldn’t be done, Lara decided to give it a go anyway. The result is a handcrafted home that’s simple, personal and filled with creativity and charm.
Inside, her tiny home is thoughtfully styled with collected treasures, natural materials and clever design ideas that make the space feel inviting and full of character. Every detail reflects her artistic background and the care she put into every step of the build.
Building her tiny house didn’t just give Lara a place to live, it also helped her find a new direction in life. She was once a costume designer, but her experience building this home led her to a new career working as a set builder for the circus.
Her home is parked on a peaceful farm surrounded by horse stables and the gardens she has created herself. It’s a quiet, nature-filled setting that perfectly complements the way she has chosen to live.
