An Extendable High Top Tiny House - Philippa Battye - BS049
The last tiny house episode for a while!
Today I'm talking to Philippa Battye, an architect, who designed and built her very unique tiny home. Her house has a collapsible roof and bolt on wings to give extra height and width to her living space. The effect is unlike any tiny house I've seen... spectacular!
Take a peak at Philippa's Instagram to see the house in all it's glory! https://www.instagram.com/philippabattye/
We had a big old natter about materials, design, pogs, moving.. and so much more!
