There’s nothing like ambition.
And Mitchell Phillips is a remarkable and ambitious young man.
In 2019 the high school student from South Australia started building his very own tiny home for his year 12 project, and we knew we had to help out.
So we contacted Mitchell through his school and offered to help by supplying him acrylic panels at no cost.
Naturally he was delighted and enthusiastically took us up on our offer.
And you can see how it has helped.
His bathroom is only 2300mm long and 900mm wide – barely 2 square metres. And of course Mitchell was concerned it would feel cramped.
Innovative Splashbacks helped overcome this.
The way the gloss finish and light grey colour reflects light makes if it feel spacious, and according to Mitchell:
“Gives it a modern and sleek look … and have the high-end look of a glass splashback” .
Before we contacted him, he was disappointed with the other products on the market which has a “cheap look to them and didn’t have nearly the range of colours”.
Another plus is that tiny homes are often built to be transportable, and because Innovative Splashbacks are lightweight and flexible they can be relocated.
There isn’t the added weight of glass or tiles, nor is there any grout which could crack.
Better still, even though he was only 17 years old Mitchell had no problems drilling holes and working with the product, and found it easy to work with and install.
What is the future of tiny housing in Australia?
According to Mitchell the concept is very appealing to a lot of people, and has the potential to be an affordable and straight forward alternative to traditional homes.
We are proud to have played a part in encouraging this amazing young man and look forward to watching his journey, and the tiny homes movement grow.
