Big Tiny Lands in Klang Valley: Tiny Houses, Big Vibes

Okay, gather round, friends, the tiny house wave has just landed in Malaysia. Singapore’s own eco-tourism disruptor Big Tiny Pte. Ltd. has dropped two eco-conscious mini homes at Amigo Clubhouse @ 16 Sierra, Puchong. Yup, Klang Valley. Get ready to downsize in style.

Adrian Chia, Co-founder & Chief Executive Officer, Big Tiny said:
“We 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.”

Let’s zoom out a little: Big Tiny started in 2017 (Singapore) with three co-founders: Adrian Chia, Dave Ng, and Jeff Yeo. From one tiny house in Australia to over 650 tiny homes across 19 countries (Australia, Japan, New Zealand, Taiwan, Europe, etc.), they’ve seriously leveled up. Big Tiny doesn’t just drop a cabin and bounce, they handle everything: design, manufacture, deployment, and operations. They transform unused land into curated, low-impact stays.

Their magic formula? Link landowners, house owners, and travellers in one ecosystem. Landowners get income without huge upgrades, owners earn passive returns, and travellers stay somewhere with major “Instagram + nature + chill” vibes. Listings are on Tiny Away which is Big Tiny’s platform for discovering tiny-home getaways.

They’re also pretty nerdy (in the best way) about sustainability:

12 production plants across Malaysia, Australia, New Zealand, Taiwan, Romania.
Smarter panel designs that cut building waste by at least 15%.
Switched from mild steel (10–15 year lifespan) to light gauge steel (25–50 years).
Green procurement goals — 15% recycled content by 2030.
Units designed to “sit lightly on the land” (i.e. no heavy foundations).
Rainwater harvesting, composting toilets, and even a solar setup covering ~35% of energy needs, with plans to push that higher.

They’re also serious about credibility, their Lazarus Island project in Singapore is already GSTC-certified, and they’re pushing to get all their Escape Parks (clusters of tiny houses) certified by 2026.

Chia added:

“Looking 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’s the standard we’re building towards, 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.”

The Malaysia debut is a collab with IOI Properties Group Berhad (owner of Amigo Clubhouse) because nothing says “let’s do this right” like pairing with a developer that also cares about sustainability and ESG.

And mark your calendars: Big Tiny is hosting a Fiesta on 7 & 8 November 2025 (4:00 PM – 11:00 PM) at Amigo Clubhouse Puchong. Expect vibes, talks, tours, and tiny home inspo. Check their FB page (Big Tiny Malaysia) for deets.
