tiny house community

We have been working with members of Tiny House Community Bristol and their consultant team to develop an innovative, exciting, and regenerative cohousing project for them. THCB dream of a world where it is true that people dwell and thrive in inclusive and nourishing communities, integrated into and participating in the wider living systems of the planet. To do this, they intend to bring the principles and aims of Bristol’s One City strategies to life; the 10 principles of Just Transition, Food Equality, Belonging, Climate, Ecology, Energy and Economy. This exemplar scheme provides a beacon of hope in increasingly challenging times.

THCB is a self governing group of people in housing need, from Bristol and beyond, who are taking an active role in their own housing solutions. They are working together within the legal framework of a Community Benefit Society to create alternatives to the unjust and unaffordable housing market. The tiny house movement is a description for the architectural and social movement that advocates living simply in small homes. They promote financial prudence, eco-friendly choices, shared community experiences, and a shift in consumerism-driven mindsets. This proposal is their first as a community developer. It seeks planning permission for 13 homes and communal facilities to support a cohousing development. The development is on land that has been offered by Bristol City Council through their land disposla policy. Working with the frameworks of ReSet (Regenerative Settlements), One Planet Living (Bioregional) and the principles of Doughnut Economics (Kate Raworth), we are helping them to bring the Tiny House Movement to Bristol and the West of England.
