Our Story
The Tiny Home Company was founded in 2013 by craftsman builder Simon Whitfield. With 20+ years of carpentry and building experience, the company has grown organically though our years of practice converting and creating live-in vehicles, traditional cabins and tiny houses.
Our workshop is located in the scenic hills of Herefordshire, overlooked by the beautiful Black Mountains. Local Timber is a core component to all of our builds. Our location gives us direct access to these quality traditional materials, alongside a stunning rural landscape filled with vernacular architecture which inspires our designs.
THE WILDER PODCAST:
Ep. 034: Going Off Grid: Tiny Homes, Big Solutions
Simon Whitfield from the Tiny Home Company talks about off-grid Tiny Homes with customer & friends Tom & Chloe from the Grange Project .
It is well worth a listen, especially if you are thinking about setting off on your own Tiny Home journey.
Simon and his family have lived in self built homes on wheels ranging from their vintage double decker bus to ‘the chapel’ - a dream tiny home project which has now been lovingly converted into a luxury glamping wagon.

“My expectations were exceeded by the tiny house course and made our decision to build one easy and only more urgent! Simon has a wealth of knowledge and importantly a lot of experience of actually living in various tiny homes of his own design & build. His infectious enthusiasm will make you want to live in one too!” Jonny
“The course was inspiring, and getting the benefit of Si’s experience was invaluable. We’ve now got a tiny home that we treasure, and that’s all thanks to this course and meeting Si.”
