BIG60 vs BIG70: What’s the difference and which one is right for you?
26th November 2025
At first glance, the BIG60 and BIG70 might look like close cousins. But the extra 10m² in the BIG70 opens up more living room and flexibility than you realise, and that can make a big difference in your everyday lifestyle.
Both models share the same design philosophy, which is smart planning, high-end finishes and Tasmanian craftsmanship. However, depending on your needs, the right model becomes an obvious choice.
The BIG60: More compact yet fully equipped
The BIG60 is where you get all the essentials – a full kitchen,
bathroom, and open-plan living, all packed into an efficient footprint. For
instance, the BIG60 Plan 2 gives you 60m² of floor space, two bedrooms and
built-in robes.
Thanks to a clever layout and high-quality materials, this size doesn’t feel restricted at all. Its smaller footprint simply makes it easier to site, easier to heat and cool, and less costly to maintain.
For someone who wants to downsize without compromising on lifestyle, or maybe build a holiday home or rental property, the BIG60 offers everything you need.
The BIG70: More space, more possibilities
Then there’s the BIG70, which starts from a similar width but extends in length (15m instead of 13.4m) to deliver 70m² of floorspace. That extra space isn’t just for show. It allows an island bench in the kitchen, a larger living zone, generous windows for letting in more natural light, and the space to offer separate living zones. If you envisage full-time living or simply want more flexibility for friends and family, the BIG70 delivers an elevated tiny home experience.
Built with the same heart and detail
Behind both models is the same commitment to quality and customisation. Tiny Homes Tasmania builds on engineered steel bases, uses double-glazed premium windows, insulates to a six-star energy rating, and finishes each home with quality benchtops and tiled splashbacks. Both the BIG60 and BIG70 also come with plenty of built-in storage. The beauty is that choosing between them doesn’t mean compromising on fit-out. Whether you pick the more efficient footprint of the BIG60, or the roomier BIG70 option, you’re working with the same standards, the same local trades, and the same attention to detail.
Choosing which one is right for you
Choosing between the BIG60 and BIG70 comes down to how you live today and how you want to live tomorrow. If your site is tighter, your budget slightly smaller, or you’re seeking low-maintenance freedom, the BIG60 is a compelling fit — and because it meets the requirements for an ancillary dwelling, it’s ideal as a granny flat, guest space or secondary accommodation option. If you’re planning ahead, want the space to entertain or need a home that can grow with the family, the BIG70 gives you that extra breathing room while functioning as a true primary residence without stepping into full-size home territory. And because both models are fully customisable, you can tailor finishes, layout or internal zones to suit your lifestyle – whether that’s shack simplicity, secondary dwelling flexibility, or your new forever home.
