Shire Cottage of New Zealand
John Chapman from New Zealand who gave me the idea for the Tiny House in a Landscape feature sent me this link to another New Zealander who has created this neat little cottage called the Shire Cottage.
Built in “Sunny Nelson” the builder says this little building is great for a garden shed, a play house, or for a sleep over. I could see it with some insulation becoming a great getaway or home office.
Shire Cottage is un-insulated and is not designed to be slept in on a permanent basis, but is better suited to occasional summer sleepovers. Sunny has also designed another building called Accommodation Pod which is a little larger. To learn more visit the Shire Cottage website.

This is so cute, I absolutely love it!
This would make a good temp shelter for the homeless. Better then sleeping in a tent.
Hi
Just wanted to point out Sunny Nelson is not the name of the builder (which I don’t know -sorry) but the name of the town where these pods have been built. It has our highest hours of recorded sunshine here in NZ – hence “sunny Nelson”.
Hi Adrienne – I see my mistake, thanks for pointing it out. I will adjust the text to make the correction. Thanks for the information about all the sunshine in Sunny Nelson.
