A Bristol company is offering people the chance to help design their own tiny one-person homes.
Last year Bristol City Council went against its own rules to allow three tiny houses to be built in Hillfields to help alleviate its housing shortage.
Bristol's own planning policy says new single-occupier dwellings should not be built even if they meet national housing standards.
But a planning committee ignored the policy to approve plans for the tiny home to be built in the garden of a traditional terraced property in the city's Hillfields area.
At the meeting in January developer Ecomotive was granted planning permission for its ‘Snug’ homes at 225 Forest Road.
The three homes will be created by converting the existing two-storey Victorian house into two flats and putting a prefabricated “box” home in the rear garden.
Each home will have its own little grass area, and two of them will have a small patio as well.
Pictures taken on Friday (March 6) show that work has been taking place to prepare the site for the Snug development.
The part-finished modules are delivered to site for residents to complete themselves, according to the Ecomotive website.
The firm said it had leased a small site in Lockleaze to create a pop-up fabrication and training space for its modular self-build “Snug” homes.
The Snug homes website is now asking for people interested in one of these properties to get in touch and join the Snug community.
