Meet Harrison Marshall, a visionary who looked beyond the rust and grime of an old skip and saw potential where others saw waste. Through sheer ingenuity and hard work, he turned it into a stunning micro-home that challenges how we think about living spaces.
With sky-high rent prices in London, affordable housing is becoming a distant dream for many. But Marshall refused to be part of that struggle. Instead, he took matters into his own hands—literally—by converting a dumpster into a fully functional home.

A Dumpster Like No Other
In a city where real estate is at a premium, one man’s trash has truly become another’s treasure. This isn’t just another quirky DIY project—it’s a game-changing innovation that proves we don’t need huge spaces to live comfortably.
The design of this unique home plays a crucial role in making it both practical and livable. Strategically placed windows and doors allow for efficient air circulation, preventing the metal structure from overheating in the sun. And when the temperature drops at night? The compact space retains warmth, keeping the inside comfortable.
One of the smartest features of this tiny home is its weatherproofing. With a rounded roof, rainwater simply rolls off, preventing leaks and ensuring the interior stays dry. It’s a prime example of how great design can turn even the most unexpected spaces into comfortable homes.

Harrison’s tiny home isn’t just functional—it’s cleverly designed to maximize space. The kitchen, for example, is a masterpiece of efficiency. Despite its small size, it has everything a regular kitchen does, from a stovetop to storage shelves and a sink.
The use of light-colored wood throughout the interior creates a sense of openness, making the space feel much larger than its 25 sq. ft. footprint. And speaking of space—can you believe there’s room for a two-person mattress in this dumpster home? That’s right! The layout is so well thought out that it allows for both comfort and functionality.
But here’s the shocking part: given London’s housing market, this tiny home would cost around $25,000 if sold as property. Imagine that—living in a dumpster could actually be more affordable than renting a flat in the city!

More Than Just a Home—A Movement Towards Sustainability
Harrison’s project isn’t just about creating a cool living space—it’s about rethinking how we use resources. At a time when cities are struggling with housing shortages and sustainability issues, this dumpster-turned-home is a symbol of innovation and mindful living.
His story proves that with a little creativity and out-of-the-box thinking, we can find alternative solutions to urban living challenges. Would you consider living in a tiny home like this?
And if you think this is impressive, wait until you hear about Sasha, a young woman in the U.S. who turned a metal dumpster into a mobile tiny home—and then started building more for homeless communities.
Sasha’s Dumpster Home: Turning Trash into Hope
Imagine stumbling upon a dumpster in the middle of the city. You’d probably assume it’s just another abandoned container. But inside? A beautifully designed home that’s both practical and inspiring.
Meet Sasha, a woman with a big heart and even bigger ideas. She didn’t just stop at building her own tiny home—she took things a step further by creating similar dumpster homes for those in need.
At first glance, Sasha’s home might look like nothing more than a scrap heap. But step inside, and you’ll find a perfectly organized, minimalist living space. The best part? Her project has sparked a movement, inspiring others to build sustainable homes from repurposed materials.
The Incredible Design Inside Sasha’s Dumpster Home
Sasha’s home isn’t just a novelty—it’s fully functional. The kitchen includes a compact 2,000 BTU burner, a hidden fridge, and a roll-out sink, making it easy to cook and clean in such a small space.
And when it comes to the bathroom? Sasha got creative. A marine-style toilet, originally from a boat, tucks away under a seat and can be hooked up to a septic system. Every inch of space is optimized for maximum efficiency.
From One Dumpster Home to a Whole Movement
But Sasha didn’t stop there. She started building more tiny homes for homeless individuals, using recycled materials like old fridge doors and broken futons. Even better? She’s been adding wheels to some of them, allowing people to move their homes wherever they need to.
