The best tiny homes don’t feel small; they feel edited. Removed Tiny Homes, a Queensland-based builder, has built its entire identity around that idea, and the Currumbin is arguably where it lands best. Named after the coastal suburb on the Gold Coast, the Currumbin is the most popular model in the builder’s lineup, and it’s easy to see why. Sitting on a triple-axle trailer, it measures 7.2 metres long, 2.4 metres wide, and stands 4.3 metres tall, coming in at 25 square metres of liveable space. For a home that technically fits on a trailer, it carries itself with surprising generosity.
The layout is designed with couples and downsizers in mind. A loft bedroom sits above the living zone, accessed via a standing-height walkway and staircase, the kind of considered detail that separates a well-designed tiny home from a glorified caravan. A skylight overhead floods the sleeping area with natural light, giving the loft an almost meditative quality. Two layout options are available, letting buyers tailor the floor plan to how they actually live, rather than forcing a compromise.

Downstairs, the kitchen takes centre stage. A large picture window anchors the cooking space, framing the outdoors like a piece of art. The interior features VJ panelling customisable in different tones, wood-like vinyl board flooring, and white walls and ceiling set against black windows, a palette that feels calm and resolved without trying too hard. It’s the kind of interior that photographs well, but more importantly, lives well.
Strategically placed expansive windows provide the interior with ample light, making it feel cosy and bright, a critical move in a home this scale, where the relationship between inside and outside does the heavy lifting. Priced from $128,990, the Currumbin sits at the entry point of Removed’s Classic range, yet it doesn’t feel like a starting point. It feels considered from end to end. The brand’s philosophy of building homes that help people “disconnect from the noise” with calm, clarity, and craftsmanship at the core is felt in every decision, from the stair storage to the picture window placement.
The Currumbin’s success has since led Removed to develop the Currumbin 9.6, a 31.4-foot follow-up that moves the bedroom downstairs with a full walkthrough en-suite bathroom, catering to those who’d rather skip the loft entirely. But the original 7.2 remains the sweet spot. Small enough to move, large enough to mean something.
