The story behind Ecotiny is one of craft, place, and a deep connection to the Australian landscape by building eco-responsive tiny houses that minimise environmental impact and maximise harmony with nature. Constructed from durable, low-impact materials and energy-smart systems, each house is thoughtfully designed for comfort, resilience, and intentional tiny-space living.
Meet the team
Bastien.
Originally from Belgium, Bastien moved to Australia and fell in love with the Northern Rivers region. That connection to place (the light, the landscape, the pace of life) shapes every decision behind Ecotiny.
A passionate carpenter by trade with an eye for detail and an extensive experience in the building industry, he brings a craftsman's rigour to every build. Nothing leaves the workshop without meeting his standard: honest materials, precise joinery, and spaces that feel both minimal and alive.
Ecotiny exists at the intersection of that craft and a belief that living smaller can mean living better: with less impact, more intention, and a home that truly belongs to its environment.
Ugo.
Meet Ugo, a Master Carpenter originally from France, whose expertise is built upon the foundation of the Compagnons du Devoir, widely considered the world’s top training institution for the craft.
With over seven years of dedicated experience as a Compagnon de France, he brings an unparalleled level of precision and technical mastery to our team. Ugo serves as the driving force behind our construction projects, where his meticulous attention to detail ensures that every home we build is crafted to the highest standard and designed to last for generations.
Detail. Craft.
Place.
Detail
Every joint, finish, and fitting is considered. We don’t hide behind trim. The structure is the aesthetic.
Craft
Carpentry isn’t a side skill. It’s the foundation. Built by hand, in our Northern Rivers workshop, to last.
Place
Designed for the Australian climate and terrain. Off-grid ready, low impact, and at home in the landscape.
