The Buttercup Tiny Home Lets You Host A Mean Dinner Party In Micro-Living Style

Posted on by

As adorable as it sounds, the Buttercup tiny home is also just that capable and functional! Occupying 24 feet, this compact little home can easily seat six people, and sleep up to four, although it may be a bit of a tight fit. In a world where tiny homes don’t usually support hosting, the Buttercup tiny home does have enough space to have a couple of your friends over, and host a quaint dinner party – micro-living style!

Designer: Modern Tiny Living

Designed by Modern Tiny Living, the Buttercup is quite small for a North American tiny home, and hence it is aimed to be a weekender/vacation home, rather than a full-time home. However, the space could function as a full-time home if the owners like. The house is founded on a double-axle trailer, and is clad in engineered wood, and topped with a metallic roof. The home is powered by a standard RV-style hookup.

As visitors enter the home, they find themselves right next to the living room. The living room is light-filled and finished in PVC paneling with vinyl flooring. The living room isn’t super spacious, but it is quite generous for a tiny home. It is adorned with bookshelves and a massive U-shaped sofa that can seat six people. The sofa also includes integrated storage space and can be converted into a bed for guests. Next to the living room is the kitchen, which has custom cabinetry and Corian countertops, as well as a dining table fitted underneath the staircase.

The kitchen also includes a sink, and a washer/dryer. The owner will also install their own fridge, oven, and any other appliances he may need. You can access the bathroom from the kitchen through a sliding barn-style door. The bathroom is quite tiny, and it includes a shower, flushing toilet, sink, and shelving. The Buttercup only includes one bedroom which can be accessed via a storage-integrated staircase. The bedroom is like a typical loft-style sleeping space as seen in most tiny homes. It has a low ceiling, a double bed, as well as some storage space, which can offer privacy by functioning as a dividing wall.

Cedar-Clad Tiny Home Expands With A Slide-Out Section & Supports A Total Off-Grid Lifestyle

Posted on by

Dubbed the Grand Sojourner Layout 3, this neat and quintessential little home was designed by Häuselin with a unique slide-out section that lets the owners enjoy the benefits of a compact model when towing, and a spacious and luxurious model when it is parked. This impressive tiny home maximizes its flexibility with an optional off-grid capability as well. This model is the latest in Häuslein’s Sojourner series, and it is founded on a triple axle-trailer while measuring 30 feet.

Designer: Häuslein

The tiny home is finished in red cedar and black aluminum, imparting it with a classy and minimalist exterior. The tiny home’s slide-out section is optional, but this increases the home’s width from a road-legal of 8 feet to roughly 11 feet. The slide-out section is manually operated and is based on two sets of rails. It can be pushed out by two people, and then locked into place, and does not permit any rain or wind to enter.

The slide-out section may sound minimal, but it does make the living room seem larger and more spacious, much like a normal fully-sized home. The living room can also be configured as an office or bedroom if needed. Next to the living room is the kitchen which accommodates a sink, cabinetry, a drawer dishwasher, fridge, full-size oven, and stove. There is also shelving and a cute breakfast bar that can seat two people. The kitchen is further connected to a bathroom which contains a vanity sink, shower, storage space, and a washer/dryer. There is an option between a traditional flushing toilet, composting toilet, and an incinerating toilet.

The Grand Sojourner Layout houses two bedrooms. The master bedroom can be accessed via a storage-integrated staircase, with a lower floor section that allows residents to stand upright. The bedroom also includes a double bed, storage, and a skylight. It has a ceiling height of 5 feet. The second loft-style bedroom can be reached via a removable ladder, and it can also be used as a storage or multipurpose room if need be. The tiny home is equipped with solar panels and a battery system, as well as a tank/pump setup, allowing it to run off-grid.

This Tiny Home Is The Modern Flexible Office Space You Need

Posted on by

Designed by Baluchon, the Bois Perdus tiny home is a flexible, free-flowing, and light-filled space that serves as a towable dwelling. One of the focal points of the home is its flexibility, allowing it to function as a tranquil office that can support the owner’s crafting hobby, and letting it eventually function as a full-time home as well. Bois Perdus is French for Lost Woods, and it is founded on a double-axle trailer, with a length of 20 feet.

Designer: Baluchon

The tiny house is finished in a red cedar, adorned with an aluminum roof and accenting, and accentuated with loads of glazing, which fills the home with natural light. As you enter the home, you are welcomed by the living room which holds a sofa, a tiny loft for storage, and a small wood-burning stove, that can heat the entire home. The kitchen is located next to the living room, or it will be in the future, as currently the home only functions as a home office. The intended space for the kitchen is occupied by a desk for the owner.

A small crafting area has also been fitted underneath the storage-integrated staircase, and it holds a sewing machine and some shelving. The bathroom is located on the opposite side of the living room, and it is equipped with a shower, sink, and toilet, as well as a window to allow natural light inside. The home only accommodates one bedroom, which you can access via the storage-integrated staircase. The bedroom is a conventional loft-style space, with not much headroom. It does have a double bed and a pair of nightstands.

In the future, there are plans to move the Bois Perdus full-time, letting it function as a well-equipped home that will meet the owner’s needs and requirements. But at the moment, it is a work-focused tiny house that serves as a peaceful oasis where the owner can wrap up his workload.

This Shipping Container-Based Tiny Home Features An Interesting Space Saving Layout

Posted on by

Shipping containers are widely used in the world of architecture, and they are used to build tiny homes, offices, or even soccer stadiums. However, they are predominantly used for tiny homes, and this debut model by UnContained Dreams is another great space-saving tiny home design. Called the Rising Sun, this high-cube shipping container provides a refreshing take on space-saving interior design, and it measures 40 feet.

Designer: UnContained Dreams

The tiny home has a height of 9.6 feet, with a width of 8 feet, making it a few inches smaller than most trailer-based tiny homes. It is difficult to fit a comfortable interior layout into such a home, but UnContained Dreams managed to do a great job. Large metal boxes also tend to have poor thermal performance, hence this is something UnContained Dreams had to deal with. To deal with this issue, they used closed-cell spray foam on the ceiling, floor, and walls. The home is also equipped with multiple windows and has doors cut into it, featuring wooden trim which creates a utilitarian look.

The home also features a mini-split air-conditioning unit which keeps the interior cool and comfy. As you enter the home, you are welcomed by a spacious living room. This is the focal point of the home, and it includes a custom walnut futon that can be transformed into a double bed. The living room also contains a handy table made from walnut. There is an entertainment center as well, with double glass doors that fill the space with light.

The kitchen is located next to the living room, and it contains quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, a fridge/freezer, an oven with a propane-powered stove, a microwave, a sink, shelving, and cabinetry. It also includes a dining table for five adults. Since the home lacks some space, the studio installed a separate WC, shower, and a nearby vanity sink. This suits smaller homes quite well! The bedroom has a double bed with integrated storage space for clothes, shoes, and more. It also has two built-in nightstands and lighting, as well as a small wall-mounted standing desk area that can be used as a home office.

Idyllic Little Home With A Porch Reading Area Looks Straight Out Of A Classic Novel

Posted on by

Most tiny homes nowadays tend to be contemporary-style dwellings outfitted with modern amenities. They may not be luxurious, but they are comfortable in a functional way, and they meet all your basic requirements. Baluchon is known for its quaint contemporary-style homes, however, it designed a traditional tiny house design that takes us right back to the nascent days of the micro-living movement. Called the Miss Twain Tiny House, this home measures 20 feet and is adorned with an idyllic little porch reading area.

Designer: Baluchon

Named after famous author Mark Twain (the owner is an avid reader and a long-time fan) the Miss Twin Tiny Home is founded on a double-axle trailer, and accentuated with a red cedar finish, and an aluminum roof. The tiny home is on the smaller, more compact size, and is almost half the size of typical North American models. The porch is quite compact but has adequate space for a chair. The porch also leads to the living room, which is fitted with a sofa bed for guests, a coffee table, a wood-burning stove, and an operable table.

The kitchen is adjacent to the living room, and it features a sink, fridge, drop-down table for two, two-burner propane-powered stove, microwave, and some cabinetry. The kitchen is also equipped with a large storage unit. From the kitchen we move on to a small bathroom which is quite basic, containing only a shower and a toilet. The bathroom doesn’t have a wash basin, which is quite inconvenient, and users will need to wash their hands in the kitchen sink, which doesn’t rate it high on the hygiene factor.

The Miss Twin Tiny Home features two loft spaces, with the larger loft room functioning as a bedroom, and is accessible via a ladder. It has a low ceiling and double bed, much like most loft-style rooms in tiny homes. The second loft room is intended for storage and is placed over the living room. You can access it via a removable ladder as well.
