Sarah & Scott Rohdich are tiny housers living off-grid as well as the co-owners of the tiny house builders, Häuslein, based in Port Macquarie in NSW.
They build such amazing tiny houses! I got to see one of their homes recently at the Sydney Tiny Homes Expo and I love the style of their tiny homes.
Company Story:
“Häuslein Tiny House Co. was founded in early 2018 by four friends with a shared passion to make a big impact in people’s lives. We are strategically located in Port Macquarie (halfway between Sydney and Brisbane).
We’re passionate about a few things. We believe life is for living and enjoying. It’s about relationships and building a lifestyle that has time for the little things. Growing gardens, delicious, wholesome meals cooked at home, laughter around the table, tinkering on what you love, together.
We want to live and promote the less-stressed life where we can be refreshed to be productive and give our best to the world and those around us. We want to live sustainably, generously and creatively, maximising resources and keeping it simple”.
The Hauslein Name:
“A ‘Häuslein’ is a small dwelling with a big heart. It’s warm, the lights are on, you’re welcome here. We named our company Häuslein Tiny House Co because of the German heritage of two of our co-founders, as well as our appreciation for German quality engineering which we seek to reflect in our tiny house builds”.
What makes our company different:
“WE LIVE WHAT WE MAKE – Two of our founders, Sarah and Scott, actually live in a Häuslein Grand Sojourner with their two young boys. It’s their full-time and fully off-grid family home.
TRUSTED TEAM – Our growing team of experienced tiny house builders produce our high end tiny houses from scratch using efficient processes, expert craftsmanship and high-quality tools – right here in Australia.
INNOVATIVE DESIGNS – Our designs make it feel like a full-size home. Enjoy functionality and beauty with full-size appliances, space for quality furniture, and an optional innovative slide-out feature to expand the usable living space.
HIGH-QUALITY MATERIALS – We choose to use stunning timbers and the best materials, fixtures, fittings, appliances and technology we can find on all our models.
CRAFTSMANSHIP – From trailer chassis fabrication to timber benchtops each house is a labour of love, built to the highest standard of workmanship”.
