Gympie Tiny Homes

At Shane Rice Builder & Renovation Specialist, we build compact, comfortable tiny homes for property owners across Gympie and surrounding areas.


Whether you're making space for family, adding a backyard rental, or simplifying life with a smaller footprint, we design each tiny home to feel practical, liveable, and tailored to your needs. Our homes might be small, but we make sure they’re big on function and quality—so every square metre works hard for you.


We’ll help you create the perfect small space to suit your block, lifestyle and goals. Give us a call on 0407 159 477 to get started with a free, no-obligation quote.

Smart Small-Scale Living Solutions

Tiny homes need smart design to make them feel liveable—not cramped. That’s why thoughtful layout is everything. From loft-style sleeping areas and pull-out storage to compact kitchens and open-plan living, every feature is designed to maximise functionality.


Good natural light, airflow, and multi-use zones can make even a small space feel generous and inviting.


The key is tailoring the build to suit how you want to use it. That could mean setting up a backyard studio, building a self-contained rental, or creating a moveable dwelling for off-grid living.


By using clever cabinetry, space-saving fixtures, and thoughtful proportions, we create homes that are practical without feeling boxed in.

Functional Living in Every Detail

Not all tiny homes are the same. Some are built on skids or trailers for mobility, while others are fixed structures with long-term use in mind.


Depending on your block, council regulations and intended use, we can help determine the best type of build for your needs. We work with a range of materials and finishes—from timber cladding for a traditional look to more contemporary options with modern comforts.


Whether it’s a retreat, studio, secondary dwelling or full-time residence, your tiny home should be built to last. That means solid construction, proper insulation, and a focus on the features that matter most to you.


With the right design, a tiny home can be an affordable, flexible space with endless potential.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Can I legally live in a tiny home in Queensland?

    Yes, but it depends on the type of tiny home and local council regulations. Permanently fixed tiny homes typically need development approval and must comply with building codes. Mobile tiny homes, like those on trailers, may fall under different rules. Always check with your local council before building or installing a tiny home for full-time living.

  • How much space do you need for a tiny home?

    Most tiny homes range from 20 to 40 square metres. The minimum space required depends on access, use of the land, and any council setback rules. You’ll also need room for utility connections, water tanks, or off-grid systems if applicable. The block doesn’t need to be large, but it must suit the layout and installation.

  • What can tiny homes be used for?

    Tiny homes are incredibly versatile. They’re often used as full-time residences, guest accommodation, rental properties, home offices, or studios. Some are built for off-grid living, while others are added to backyards for multi-generational housing. Their compact size makes them suitable for a range of residential or rural applications.
