Puchong, Selangor, 2 October 2025<\/strong> \u2013 Big Tiny Pte. Ltd. (Big Tiny), <\/em>the Singapore-founded pioneer in eco-tourism and tiny-house hospitality, has expanded its footprint into Malaysia with two eco-conscious tiny houses now installed at the Amigo Clubhouse @ 16 Sierra, Puchong, marking its first presence in the Klang Valley.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe see growing interest from eco-conscious millennials and families seeking unique, short-haul experiences, driven by rising awareness of sustainability and experiential travel grows. By bringing this tiny home concept to Malaysia, we offer not only new travel experiences but also the opportunity for Malaysians to own tiny homes globally,\u201d said Adrian Chia, Co-founder & Chief Executive Officer, Big Tiny<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Founded in 2017 in Singapore by Adrian Chia, Dave Ng and Jeff Yeo, Big Tiny has grown from its first tiny house in Australia to a global presence with six international offices, more than 650 tiny homes across 19 countries including Australia, Japan, New Zealand, Taiwan, Singapore, Europe, and now Malaysia. The company operated an end-to-end model that designed, manufactured, deployed and managed tiny houses on underutilised land, transforming overlooked plots into curated, low-impact destinations. Acting as the linchpin, Big Tiny connects landowners, tiny-house owners and travellers in one ecosystem: landowners unlock income without major capital outlay; owners enjoy passive returns; and travellers access unique, nature-immersive stays. Stays are listed on Tiny Away (tinyaway.com)<\/em>, Big Tiny\u2019s platform for discovering and booking tiny-house experiences across its global portfolio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Big Tiny\u2019s integrated approach to engineering, manufacturing, and sustainable hospitality minimises environmental impact at every stage. Their network of 12 production and assembly plants \u2013 including facilities in Kulai, Johor (Malaysia); Melbourne, Brisbane, Sydney and Perth (Australia); Christchurch (New Zealand); Oradea (Romania); and Hsinchu County (Taiwan) \u2013 have reduced building material waste by at least 15% through smarter panel design and close supplier collaboration. A strategic shift from mild steel (lifespan of 10\u201315 years) to more durable light gauge steel (lifespan of 25\u201350 years) extends service life and reduces long-term replacement needs. The company is also pursuing green procurement, targeting at least 15% recycled content in materials by 2030. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each unit is thoughtfully designed and engineered to sit lightly on the land without permanent foundations, blending comfort with environmental sensitivity. Features such as rainwater harvesting and composting toilets are deployed where feasible to minimise resource use and maintain harmony with the natural surroundings. On the operational front, Big Tiny incorporates renewable energy solutions, with current solar systems supplying up to 35% of a unit’s total energy <\/p>\n\n\n\n

needs. Plans are underway to increase this contribution by an additional 10% by 2030 through solar-wind hybrid systems and enhanced energy-efficient appliances. The company\u2019s long-term vision is to steadily grow its off-grid category, supporting evolving technologies and the rising demand from eco-conscious travellers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Lazarus Island project in Singapore is certified under the Global Sustainable Tourism Council (GSTC) Industry Criteria for Hotels. The company is actively pursuing GSTC certification for all its Escape Parks \u2013 clusters of Big Tiny units curated as nature-led destinations \u2013 by 2026, setting consistent global sustainability benchmarks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cLooking ahead, we see eco-conscious travel shifting from simply doing less harm to actively giving back. Guests will increasingly seek regenerative experiences that improve local ecosystems and communities. That\u2019s the standard we\u2019re building towards \u2013 treating each site as a living lab, piloting environmental tech and circular materials to show how small, well-designed stays can deliver outsized local benefits,\u201d added Chia<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Amigo Clubhouse is owned by IOI Properties Group Berhad. This collaboration brought together two organisations dedicated to shaping sustainable living experiences, aligning IOI Properties\u2019 commitment to Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) principles with Big Tiny\u2019s mission to create impactful, low-footprint stays. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The public is invited to the upcoming Big Tiny Fiesta on 7 and 8 November 2025 from 4.00 PM to 11.00 PM at the Amigo Clubhouse @ 16 Sierra, Puchong, for a fun-filled fiesta to celebrate eco-conscious living in tiny homes.
