By Monique Villiger, Croydon, Vic.

Mon and Aswan carefully planned and built a tiny home on a budget that

fills them with joy every day.

My name is Mon, I’m 28 years old and my partner Aswan and I designed and built our own tiny house here in Croydon, in the outer suburbs of Melbourne. We’ve been living in the tiny house for about two years now, lockdowns and all. Aswan is a qualified carpenter and I work part-time in tertiary education. We both now have Fridays off work and enjoy (long) weekend adventures, hiking, gardening, cooking and designing!
