Work From Home

As you sow, so shall you reap! This is true, both literally and as a metaphor, for Juli and Vivek Cariappa who exchanged the predictability and comfort of urban existence for the perils and triumphs of a life amidst nature. Armed with a passion for natural farming, an alternate road map of life and tons of resilience, this couple and their children sprouted a dream that was seeded in a deep respect for the land and the elements that sustain life.

Tom, Sarah, and their daughter Neesa live in a  20sqm off-grid tiny house on a property on the Coromandel Peninsula, New Zealand. Instead of paying rent, they share the work of looking after the land with the owners, and both families share in the farm’s abundant produce. We were inspired by how much happier they’ve found themselves by living with less.

Off-grid isn’t a state of mind. It isn’t about someone being out of touch, about a place that is hard to get to, or about a weekend spent offline. Officially, “off grid” refers to a home or town that is disconnected from the electricity and natural gas networks that serve a region. Living off-grid, therefore, means having to radically re-invent life as we know it. It means choosing to live in a way that is dramatically innovative: a way that draws on skills of the past and is inspired by concerns for our collective future.
