Baluchon’s Golden Hour Is A Fully-Functioning And Comfy Tiny Home That Is Only 20 Ft Long

Expert tiny home builder Baluchon recently managed to fit a fully functional and commendable home into a space of 20 feet. It sounds like a tough task, but Baluchon not only made sure the home was operational but also pretty comfortable. Dubbed the Golden Hour, the home has been efficiently fitted with a couple of comforts such as a custom-sized kitchen customized to the owner’s personalized needs and requirements, as well as a cozy loft bedroom with enough headroom to stand without banging your head.

Designer: Baluchon

The Golden Hour is built on a double-axle trailer and is finished in red cedar. A neat mixture of cotton, linen, and hemp insulation is used for the walls, floors, and ceiling. It is powered by a standard RV-stool hookup. As you enter the home, you are welcomed by the living room, which is quite well-lit owing to its impressive glazing. The living room is equipped with a sofa and operable windows. There is some storage space integrated on the floor, and it also holds a coffee table, as well as a small wood-burning stove.

Baluchon was asked to focus on the kitchen by the owner, hence it is quite spacious and well-designed. It can be regarded as large when French tiny house standards are taken into consideration. The kitchen features an oven, a propane-powered two-burner stove, a sink, a fridge, and a generous amount of storage space. The cabinet has been lowered to cater to the owner’s required measurements. Another cool feature is a drop-down breakfast bar with stools that can seat two people. The kitchen and bathroom are connected, although the bathroom is quite minimum and small, amped with a shower, toilet, storage space, and no sink.

The bedroom of the Golden Hour is quite cozy and showcases a homely loft style. You can enter the bedroom via a floating staircase which has been combined with the kitchen cabinetry. The upstairs area is placed on a lowered platform, which enables the user to stand straight instead of moving around awkwardly on their hands and knees. The bedroom contains a bed, as well as some drawers, and is topped by a sloping ceiling.

This Wooden Tiny Home Feels & Looks Like A Beachfront Getaway But Is A Full-Time Dwelling

Tiny homes are one of the most popular home styles in 2023, and I’m pretty sure they’re going to make their way well into 2024. They had started off as a fun and cute trend, but now they’re a space-saving and environment-conscious housing option that is economical as well. They reduce the load on Mother Earth and are a simple and minimal alternative to the imposing and materialistic homes that are not preferred by everyone. And an excellent tiny home that I recently uncovered is the Beach by Raglan Tiny Homes

Designer: Raglan Tiny Homes 

Designed by New Zealand’s Raglan Tiny Homes, the recently completed Beach tiny home features a compact and cozy interior that instantly welcomes you in. The tiny house is non-towable and equipped with a welcoming indoor-outdoor lifestyle and aesthetic, which is accentuated by a part-enclosed deck area. The main section of the home has a width of 2.5m, with the covered deck adding another 2.9m, which covers a total width of 5.4m. The length of the home is 6m.

The exterior of the home is finished in Douglas fir, giving it a warm and minimal aesthetic. Although the layout of the home isn’t very typical and seems more like a beachfront getaway villa, it is in fact intended to be used as a full-time dwelling. An outdoor shower has been outfitted ahead of the entrance, which is teamed up with a small outdoor bathtub, that is concealed under a hatch in the floor. This functions as a quaint outdoor bath for some much-needed pampering sessions.

As you enter the Beach via sliding glass doors, you are welcomed by a combined living room/bedroom space that is equipped with a sofa, and a bed, as well as some storage store. However, this is the only space in the home, there are no other rooms or even a loft, which can be a bit limiting. The tiny home is equipped with a wood-burning stove, shelving, a diesel-powered heating system, and an off-the-grid solar panel setup. You can add an additional studio area if needed.
