ABOUT
Pringle Bay born Tiny Home Africa to share tips for living well with less.
“You can live anywhere a road can take you,” says Yulande Rox who will be the guest at The Pringle Proms’ February 7 lunch event.
Micro-living or the tiny house trend is big and growing rapidly largely as a result of Pringle Bay locals’ TinyHome Africa which produces fully-contained and equipped units. With a feature in the September/October 2024 issue of Home/Tuis magazines and a reality-TV show, Klein Paradys, on DStv’s KykNet and earlier programmes by Marie Kondo support continues to grow.
Tiny Home Africa’s Yulande Rox and Grant Brooker will be guests at a Pringle Proms Compelling Conversation and lunch on Saturday, February 8 at 12 noon.
Yulande explains: “Many people, including myself, are looking forward to creating tiny home estates where communal food gardens, work hubs and tiny homes are dotted around a natural landscape where less is much more. A sustainable off-the-grid lifestyle that incorporates regenerative agriculture, clean water sources and a natural environment is a human right that I believe everyone is entitled to.”
She explains that by South African law the minimum size requirement for a main residential dwelling on an erf is 30m2 and the width of units, typically three meters, is determined by the size of vehicle allowed on the road. As a modular design additional spaces, like outside decking, can later be added.
Her history is in flat-pack furniture design which she expanded into creating the light-steel frame structures of Tiny Home.
Pringle Proms’ Brian Berkman will prepare a buffet lunch and lead a Compelling Conversation to unpack the role that design plays in maximising living space by integrating storage and furniture into the design.
Tickets, only available at Quicket, are R450 each and include lunch.
