The Red Horse Lorry
The Red Horse Lorry was a unique project designed to transform a horse lorry into a fully self-sufficient, small, sustainable and transportable home. The goal was to create a comfortable, flowing space which utilised natural materials while also focusing on that connection to nature.
The interior features two double beds, a well-equipped kitchen, and a living area that opens out to nature, along with a shower room and compost toilet. Designed with ease of access in mind, the space includes a ramped entrance and is thoughtfully laid out to balance comfort, practicality, and off-grid independence. Modern amenities such as solar panels, a wood-burning stove, gas hob and oven, sink, full shower, and compost loo ensure year-round livability without compromise, all while maximizing storage and functionality.
Much of the materials were crafted from reclaimed timber, repurposed doors, and even a Welsh dresser. This thoughtful reuse of materials not only reduced environmental impact, but also brought unique character and warmth to the space.

Designed to be ideal for alternative family living or as a potential Airbnb retreat for someone with land. The project was a collaborative effort between Tom and partners, Roger King and Freddy Thomas. The finished lorry was eventually purchased by a small family seeking a rural lifestyle in West Wales.
