This Tiny Home Eliminates The Stairs, And Features All The Rooms On One Floor For Easier Accessibility

Posted on by

Although a lot of people are making the move to micro-living, the tiny home lifestyle still isn’t for everyone. Mobility issues and a desire to not climb ladders often dissuade people from purchasing a tiny home. Keeping these issues in consideration, Evergreen Homes Australia designed the Casuarina. The Casuarina is designed on one level, and it serves as a comfy and cozy home for two people, plus a few guests. The home is based on a triple-axle trailer, and it features a length of 8.4 m.

Designer: Evergreen Homes Australia

The Casuarina is equipped with a black metal exterior, accentuated with timber accenting. The interior of the home is quite airy and free-flowing, and the layout is simple, making the most of the limited space available. The interior occupies 18 sq m and features a sliding glass door that leads you to the living room. The living room includes a sofa bed, which also functions as a guest sleeping area. A wood-burning stove and ceiling fan are also included in the room. The kitchen is nearby, and it is pretty well-designed for a tiny home. It contains a breakfast with stool seating for people, a dishwasher, fridge/freezer, electric oven, two-burner propane-powered stove, a sink, and some cabinetry.

The kitchen and the bathroom are connected, and the bathroom is quite spacious. It features a vanity sink and shelving, as well as space for a washer/dryer. The opposite end of the home houses the bedroom. The bedroom is located on the ground floor, so it is pretty easy to access. The bedroom has a high ceiling as well, so residents can walk into the room with ease, without having to duck their heads. The room contains a double bed and plenty of storage space.

The Casuarina tiny home receives its power from a grid-based hookup as standard, although it can be paired up with solar panels as well, if you want to adopt an off-the-grid lifestyle. So you can choose your power grid of choice. We are unsure of the exact pricing of the tiny home.

This Cleverly-Designed Tiny Home For Two Is Compact, Comfortable & Functional

Posted on by

Designed by Rocky Mountain Tiny Homes, the Bandelier tiny home features a decent length of 28 feet. The home is quite cleverly created, and is equipped with a comfy interior for two people, plus some guests. The home has a well-proportioned and designed living area, as well as a bathtub. The Bandelier is a bit different compared to the other builds by Rocky Mountain Tiny Houses, and this is because the shell and exterior were already constructed. The firm only made a few small changes, and finished the interior.

Designer: Rocky Mountain Tiny Homes

You can access the interior via the front door, and it leads you to the living room which is equipped with shelving, a sofa bed for guests, as well as a compact wood-burning stove. This section then leads to the kitchen which is pretty well-sized for a tiny home. It is furnished with quartz counters, seating area, an oven, and a propane-powered stove. It also includes a microwave, full-size fridge/freezer, and sink.

The kitchen and bathroom are connected via a sliding door. The bathroom includes a vanity sink, flushing toilet, as well as a full-size bathtub/shower, which isnt really found in tiny homes. There is some storage space as well. However, the Bandelier only contains a single bedroom, which can be accessed via a storage-integrated staircase. The bedroom is a typical tiny house-style loft with a low ceiling, as well as a double bed, storage, and some generous glazing.

The Bandelier tiny home was constructed for wildland firefighters, and it is located near the Bandelier National Monument in New Mexico. We are unsure of the price but homes by Rocky Mountain Tiny Houses usually cost around US$100,000 when built from scratch.

As you enter the home you are welcomed by an entrance with shoe storage, as well as a massive open living area. The home needed to support remote working, and hence a compact office is placed into the side. The office includes a desk and a chair, as well as a sofa bed which can accommodate any visitors.

The impressive layout maximizes the space available, and features a quaint little rooftop terrace area, which makes for a cozy little spot to lounge about in after a long day working from home or completing some errands.

Innovative And Sustainable Tiny Homes Transforming Flood-Prone Communities In Bangladesh

Posted on by

Bangladesh, a country where up to 80% of the land is classified as floodplain, faces significant challenges with flooding, impacting its population of around 170 million. In response to this critical issue, Bangladeshi architect Marina Tabassum, in collaboration with engineers AKT II, has created the Khudi Bari—a simple, low-cost, and highly functional tiny house designed to offer a safe and affordable home adaptable to the country’s challenging conditions.

Designer: Marina Tabassum and AKT II

The Khudi Bari, meaning “small house” in Bengali, stands out for its innovative and practical design. Raised above the ground and accessed via a ladder, this tiny house is not built on wheels but is designed to be easily assembled, dismantled, and relocated without the need for specialist tools. This feature is particularly crucial for Bangladeshi residents who need to quickly move to higher ground to escape encroaching floodwaters.

The construction of this house prioritizes sustainability and local resource utilization. The primary building material is bamboo, complemented by prefabricated recycled aluminum nodes that allow for easy assembly. The walls and roof can be sourced locally and crafted from materials such as polycarbonate and metal. This approach not only reduces costs but also supports local economies.

The interior of the Khudi Bari ranges from 64 sq ft (5.95 sq m) to 144 sq ft (13.4 sq m), consisting of a single, versatile room. This space can be adapted to meet the needs of its occupants, with the area beneath the raised house available for additional living space if necessary. Despite its simplicity, the Khudi Bari provides a dignified living environment for those in need.

The Khudi Bari is not just a conceptual design, it has been put into real-world use. Over 100 units have already been deployed throughout Bangladesh, significantly improving the living conditions for vulnerable populations. The project has been carried out in collaboration with relief organizations and community groups, demonstrating a successful model of community-driven, sustainable architecture.

One of the units is currently showcased at the Vitra Campus in Germany, an exhibition space run by the renowned furniture maker Vitra, known for featuring exceptional architectural designs. This international exposure highlights the global relevance and innovative nature of the Khudi Bari project.

While the exact cost of each unit is not specified, initial prototypes were produced for around £300 (approximately US$380). Efforts are ongoing to further reduce this cost, making the Khudi Bari even more accessible to those in need. This initiative is part of a broader trend in architecture aimed at addressing the impacts of climate change, with similar projects like the Floating Bamboo House and Blooming Bamboo House also contributing to sustainable and resilient housing solutions.

Baluchon’s Tiny House Serves As An Office For A Health Professional Who Works On The Go

Posted on by

Acclaimed tiny home maker Baluchon recently created a tiny house that is intended to be a portable house for a health worker. Named the L’atelier de Saint-Joseph or Saint Joseph’s Workshop, it is founded on a double-axle trailer, measuring almost 13 ft in length. The home features a finishing of red cedar cladding and aluminum and is powered by a standard RV-style hookup. We aren’t sure what kind of healthcare the structure will be used for, but it is designed for a healthy professional who will be offering advice from there.

Designer: Baluchon

The interior of the structure is quite compact and features a finish of solid oak and spruce. It is filled with loads of natural light, due to the generous glazing. Curtains have been incorporated into the home to offer privacy.  As you enter the space, you are welcomed by a reception area. There is a generous amount of space near the large window, and it is occupied by a bed with loads of integrated storage. A work area with a desk is located nearby, and it includes some seating as well, including more storage space. A compact wood-burning stove has been incorporated as well to heat up the small office.

The structure doesn’t contain any sleeping lofts, as it isn’t going to be used as a home, but Baluchon did integrate some loft storage space above the bathroom. The bathroom seems to be quite compact, and it only includes a sink, shower, and toilet. The L’atelier de Saint-Joseph isn’t very well-equipped, but it does have all the essentials one would need to get their work done throughout the day. It isn’t intended to be utilized as a home, hence it doesnt feature a kitchen or sleeping loft, but it does include a workspace, as well as a comfy bed for rest.

We aren’t aware of what the L’atelier de Saint-Joseph is priced at, but Baluchon’s models and tiny homes usually start at around  US$85,000.
