TL;DR Summary

Architectural designer, James Harrison, built a 25-square-foot tiny home out of a dumpster for $5,000 and pays only $62 a month to rent the base from a waste management company. The home has a mezzanine-style bed, a small kitchen, and windows on both sides for natural light and ventilation. However, the toilet is outside, and there is no shower, so Harrison uses the facilities at work and the gym. Despite the challenges, Harrison enjoys living in his tiny home, which allows him to live alone in a prime location in London and has sparked conversations about rent prices in the city.
