Raglan Tiny Homes
Our spacious, minimalist spaces with clean lines will show you just how easy it is to live in a Raglan Tiny Home.
Chris and Eve have been living the Raglan Tiny Home lifestyle for over 10 years, and they can show you just how easy it is. With less clutter, easier maintenance, and a healthy, energy-efficient space, a Raglan Tiny Home offers a simpler, more sustainable way of living. You’ll enjoy financial freedom, a smaller carbon footprint, and a home that’s easy to clean. Living this way encourages you to reflect on your lifestyle, reduce your environmental impact, and embrace a more fulfilling, eco-friendly approach to life—ultimately giving you more time to focus on your purpose and pursue the things you truly love.
It’s a feeling
“It’s that ‘ahhh’ feeling when your shoulders relax and you can finally take a deep breath—that’s the experience of stepping into a Raglan Tiny Home.”
The rich scent of natural timber, the smooth craftsmanship you can touch, and the meticulous attention to detail in every corner. You’ll breathe in the fresh, clean air of a healthy home, free from toxic VOCs, and feel a connection to nature through large windows that welcome the outdoors inside. Every element is thoughtfully crafted to create a sense of calm, spaciousness, and harmony with the environment.
We deliver New Zealand wide
Our homes are delivered to every corner of the country. From the top of the North to the southernmost tip of the South we ensure a seamless delivery experience for your Raglan Tiny Home.
We protect what we have
Space is becoming a limited resource in New Zealand. We
believe in using it wisely.
Our country is famous for beautiful landscapes and rolling hills. We want to protect this for future generations. We need to get a bit more crafty with the way we use our precious landscapes. Raglan Tiny Homes offers a smart solution to protect the spaces we have while improving our quality of living.
At Raglan Tiny Homes we are passionate about caring for Mother Earth. So it makes sense to build with environmentally friendly, sustainable, reclaimed, local and natural products as much as we can. This way, our homes look after your health as well as the environment.

Building beautiful spaces with Chris and Eve
Together Chris and Eve are a dynamic duo. With Chris as an ex high-end furniture maker along with Eve’s artistic eye they sure know how to build beautiful spaces. Through their personal experience of building and living in their own Raglan Tiny Homes for over 10 years, they know the important components to make a tiny home sing for you.
Where It All Began
"As a young couple locked out of the housing market, we decided to go against the grain and find an alternative. Designing and building ourselves a humble, 16 square metre tiny house sure did raise some eyebrows.
But after living in our Raglan Tiny Home for over 8 years now, we think we’ve cracked it. We live a better way of life, not only for our health but for the health of the environment too. Living in our tiny home has brought our attention towards our impact on our planet, it’s as though our home has taught us how we should live.
It’s given us the answers of how to look after the world. It’s become so rewarding and we are chuffed to be able to show you what living in a Raglan Tiny Home can offer.
It’s simple and it’s unfussy. The saying; “Less is more” really has become obvious to us. Our mental health has improved, we have de-cluttered and found a sense of freedom away from the materialistic society.
Our eyes have been opened to what really is important in our lives; family, friends, connection, our planet, love, health, freedom and time. In the end, time is really all we have, why not make the most of it?"
Chris
Chris grew up on a farm in Hikutaia on the Hauraki Plains. His passion for building started early, with most trees having their own personalised tree hut. He saved up for his first welder at just 12 years old, and his hands-on, entrepreneurial mindset saw him establish Four Leaf, a furniture and joinery business in Raglan, in 2015.
His furniture-making skills and appreciation for the finer details are where Raglan Tiny Homes gets its gold-standard reputation. He has a strong passion for the science behind how a home is constructed and how it performs. This extends to the health of the home too, where eco-friendly, low-VOC materials play an important role.
When he’s not building tiny homes, Chris enjoys spending time with his family living the tiny home life and going on adventures together.
He has a natural instinct for what’s right for our planet, and through his progressive, forward-thinking ideas, he’s driven to make a positive difference in the world.
Eve
Eve grew up on a farm in North Canterbury. She is a World Champion and three-time New Zealand Olympic rower.
Chris and Eve love the tiny home lifestyle and have been living it for over 10 years. Eve says it’s a fun and rewarding way of living that brings a sense of gratitude through the ‘less is more’ concept. She also really enjoys the environmental benefits of closed-loop systems.
Now, as their family grows, tiny home living has taken on even more meaning. Raising their young son in a smaller space has deepened their appreciation for simple living, spending time together and making the most of what they have.
Nature and creativity are what Eve thrives on, with surfing and art as her outlets. She cares deeply for the environment and is passionate about making positive change for our planet, while inspiring others through the Raglan Tiny Homes lifestyle.
Eve is also co-author of How We Got Happy -stories of health, hope and happiness from 20 young Kiwis who beat depression.
Here’s to a future where we live in sync with our natural world, replacing take, take, take, with give, give, give.
