Posted on by

Designed by the online marketplace Tiny House Listings, the Mondo is the latest model created in-house. It is equipped with a cozy, spacious, and open interior accentuated by a downstairs bedroom and loads of storage space. The tiny home is an excellent fit for a couple on a mission to downsize but still live comfortably. It is based on a quad-axle trailer and features a length of 32 ft (9.75 m), which is the average size for typical North American tiny homes. It also features an increased width of 10 ft (3 m) instead of the typical 8.5 ft (2.6 m). This ensures that the interior is apartment-like and more spacious as compared to conventional tiny homes. A few extra inches can truly add a whole new level of comfort to a tiny home, however, this will require the home to have a permit to travel on a public road.

Designer: Tiny House Listings

The home occupies around 320 sq ft (30 sq m), and you can enter it through a glass door. The glass door leads you into the living room, which contains a sofa, a pair of small tables, an entertainment center, and generous glazing. The kitchen is closely located, and it includes a microwave, propane-powered stove, sink, fridge/freezer, and ample amount of cabinetry. There is also space to accommodate more appliances. The bathroom is adjacent to the kitchen, and it is equipped with a flushing toilet, vanity sink, and shower.

The bedroom is located on the ground floor, and it can be entered through the kitchen. The bedroom seems quite roomy and spacious, and it incorporates a double bed as well as some storage space. It also includes a stacked washing machine and a dryer. Since the bedroom is located on the ground floor, there is plenty of headroom to stand upright.

A loft area has been placed above the living room, and this space can be used as an additional bedroom or a storage space, depending on the local regulations – since most areas need tiny house loft bedrooms to be equipped with egress windows. This space can be accessed via a removable ladder.

Posted on by

Named the Ventura Park Model Tiny Home, and designed by Mint Tiny House Company, this dwelling features a spacious apartment-like layout that can comfortably sleep six people. The home allows you to enjoy the flexibility of a tiny home, without having to downsize way too much. It is the best of both worlds. The house is based on a quad-axle trailer and features a length of 40 feet. It also has an increased width of 10 feet, unlike the typical tiny home standard of 8.5 feet – this allows for a more spacious layout. But, this also entails that the Ventura Park Model will need a permit for towing on a public road.

Designer: Mint Tiny House Company

You can enter the home via double glass doors, which lead you into the living room. The interior is quite spacious and light-filled, on account of a generous amount of glazing. It has a floor space of 400 sq ft, and it includes seating, a wall-mounted TV, an electric fireplace, and shelving. The kitchen is located close by, and it is U-shaped.

The room accommodates a double bed, a wardrobe, storage space, and a separate door that leads outdoors.

The remaining bedrooms are located upstairs. You can access one via a staircase, while a removable wooden ladder leads to the other. Both these rooms are typical loft-style bedrooms seen in most tiny homes. They have low ceilings, a double bed, and shelving.

The Cosmos Tiny Home Features A Cozy Netted Upstairs Area For Reading & Chilling

Posted on by

French firms always struggle to make do with the limited room found in tiny homes, since the country’s towing laws are pretty strict, and they dictate compact and small homes. To deal with the issue of excessively limited space in a tiny home, Plume created its recent Cosmos model with a clever space-saving interior that incorporates a handy netted upstairs area. Based on a double-axle trainer, the Cosmos features a length of 20 feet and is quite small compared to North American tiny homes.

Designer: Plume

The Cosmos features a finishing of thermally treated poplar cladding, and it is topped with an aluminum roof. A glass front door leads you to the living room, which is quite spacious for a French tiny home. The living room includes a sofa, coffee bed, shelving, and a wood-burning stove for warmth. The home is amped with loads of generous glazing, which creates a pretty light-filled interior. As you walk further into the home, you are welcomed by a kitchen. The kitchen is equipped with an electric oven, a propane-powered two-burner stove, a mini-fridge/freezer, a sink, and plenty of storage space. It also includes a small dining table. The kitchen and bathroom are connected, although the bathroom is pretty small, and features a shower, sink, and toilet.

The Cosmos has an upper storey which can be accessed via a staircase that is incorporated into the kitchen unit. The upper level includes the master bedroom, which is like most loft-style bedrooms found in tiny homes. Although the bedroom does include a door for some privacy. The opposite end of the floor hosts another loft-style bedroom which can be used for guests. Both the bedrooms are connected through the netted area, which is excellent for sitting and catching up on some reading. This section also allows sunlight to enter and spread throughout the home.

This Motorized Tiny Home Can Power Through Different Kinds Of Challenging Terrains

Posted on by

Through the years tiny homes have been innovating like crazy, always surprising us with their unique and clever designs. Another tiny home that recently struck my fancy is the Rubishack by Canada’s Rubitracks. The Rubishack is a one-of-a-kind home with its own engine and off-road tracks, which ensure that it can handle even the most challenging terrains. The Rubishack a motor home amped with a heavily modified truck base and a first-generation Cummins engine which has covered only about 150,000 miles.

Designer: Rubitracks

The tiny home is anchored by four bolt-on tracks which have been constructed by Rubitracks. It is a four-wheel-drive, and can successfully handle rivers, snow, the beach, and muddy terrains. The “home” section of Rubishack is made primarily from wood, and equipped with generous glazing as well as a planter at the front. It measures 16 feet in length and 7 feet in width. The interior is well-designed, and both the driver and passenger seats have been sourced from a 1970s motorhome. Both the seats can swivel at 360 degrees. The double bed has been positioned in front of the driving seat, while the seating area and table have been placed behind it.

The Rubishack tiny home was designed by Rubitracks as a promotional attempt, instead of an actual tiny house that serves as a motor home as well. So, unfortunately, the build isn’t going to be available anytime soon in the market. However, it is an innovative creation that truly pushes the boundaries of what a tiny home can be. The Rubishack can powerfully work through landscapes with different terrains, which is truly a feat in itself.

This Solar-Powered Tiny Houseboat Lets You Enjoy A Peaceful Life On The Water

Posted on by

Dubbed the Fàng Sōng, this houseboat is designed by Crossboundaries and is powered by a solar panel setup. The houseboat features a clever space-saving interior that draws inspiration from tiny homes. The name is derived from the Chinese word for relaxation. The owners commissioned Crossboundaries to create a home that lets them live near the coast, enabling them to enjoy a peaceful life on the water. The houseboat serves as a comfortable yet tiny abode to live and work in.

Designer: Crossboundaries

“Crossboundaries has re-designed a fully solar-powered motorboat with high-end, tiny-home characteristics that enable it to function as a slow-motion traveling nest,” said the firm. “The five-year-old boat caught Marianne’s eye, its exterior’s resemblance to a bus on the water and the potential for the interior design quickly sparked her interest. With enough space for up to two persons as well as guests, it had the potential to easily become a personal retreat for re-energizing and a cozy getaway to invite friends and family.”

The interior of the houseboat is quite spacious and occupies around 667 sq ft over one floor. The dwelling comfortably floats above water and is amped with generous glazing, most of which is operable. The glazing allows light to stream in through the day and supports ventilation. The interior decor is vibrant and bright with hues of red and yellow. Although the red and yellow maybe too loud and extravagant for some people, so it depends on personal preferance.

Most of the available floor space is occupied by the living room, which includes a big sofa bed, shelving, and a work desk placed in front of a window. The kitchen is also included in this space, and it is well-stocked and designed with an oven, four-burner propane-powered stove, fridge, drink, and a folding dining table that can be put away when not in use. A folding bed can also be fitted over the helm. The whole home is amped with underfloor storage, which is truly quite useful. The home is heated by a pellet stove, which can be controlled via an app. The space also includes a terrace area with seating.

As mentioned the home is solar-powered, but we are unaware of the capacity of the solar panels. The solar panels have been installed on the rooftop and the facade. The firm says that in good weather conditions, the small houseboat can be powered completely by the solar panels, allowing it to cruise for around 31 miles per day.

The main bedroom can be reached through the storage-integrated staircase, while the secondary bedroom can be accessed via a removable ladder. The double bed in the second bedroom can be switched to two single beds if needed.

Portable & Easily-Towable Tiny Home With A Space-Saving Layout Is Perfect For A Life On The Road

Posted on by

France has pretty tough towing laws, which probably explains why French tiny homes are smaller and more compact as compared to the ones made in the US. French tiny homes are known to be little and portable, but the Tiny house du Lac by Plume takes that portability to a whole new level. Measuring a length of 17.8 feet, the home accommodates two people, or even a family of three – though that could be a bit of a tight fit.

Designer: Plume

As you enter the home, you truly understand how compact it is. Most of the floor space is occupied by one large room. You are instantly welcomed by the kitchen, which is pretty compact, but includes an induction stove, small fridge, sink, and some cabinetry. Although the available floor space is limited, the home includes a living room as well. The living room holds a two-person sofa and a small drop-down wall-mounted dining table that seats two people. Wooden furniture and light hues dominate the space, creating a living environment that is soft and warm, making one feel instantly at ease.

The opposite end of the home contains the bedroom, which is quite an interesting room, as it is arranged like a loft bed, instead of a conventional mezzanine bedroom. You can access the double bed via some wooden steps, and the space beneath the bed is used as a storage space. Plume also recommends that the space below can be used for a child’s bed or as a cozy reading nook. The adorable and comfortable home is a perfect fit for those who like a life on the go. The home is well-equipped with essential furniture and has enough space for a small family of three. The tiny home is currently up for sale, although we are unaware of the pricing. Interested parties can contact Plume directly for more information!
