How it started
From a leaky shed to homes we're proud of
Nook began in 2014 when two friends — a carpenter and an architect — built a 200-square-foot cabin to escape sky-high rents. Neighbours kept knocking, asking who made it. Ten years later that side project is a workshop of fourteen makers who have handed over the keys to more than 600 tiny homes across the country.
We've never wanted to be the biggest builder, just the most careful one. Every home is still framed, clad, and finished by a small team who sign their names inside the cabinetry. We build the kind of home we'd want to live in ourselves — and many of us do.

What we stand for
Built on three promises
The principles that shape every Nook we make.
Honest materials
Real timber, natural oils, and finishes you can pronounce. Nothing hidden, nothing toxic.
Made by people
No assembly line. A named maker owns your build from first cut to final handover.
Lighter living
Smaller homes use less of everything. We design for solar, rainwater, and a long life.
Sustainability
Greener by design, not by accident
A tiny home already uses a fraction of the materials and energy of a conventional house — but we push further. We mill from FSC-certified forests within 200 miles of the workshop, insulate with sheep's wool and recycled denim, and wire every home for solar from day one.
Offcuts become cabinetry and kindling; sawdust is composted. We plant ten trees for every home we deliver, and our delivery fleet is transitioning to electric. Living small should leave the world a little better than we found it.
