This is an amazing 34ft tiny house with a separate industrial kitchen on one side with its own entrance and a residential area on the other side.
This custom tiny home was built by Tiny Heirloom for a start-up business out of Kentucky that makes and sells donuts. So on one side, you’ve got your commercial kitchen business, and on the other side of the tiny house, you’ve got your residential area with your own kitchen, bathroom, living area, and dual lofts. Pretty amazing, isn’t it? Imagine the possibilities! It’s a 275 sq. ft. tiny home without including the loft space and it was recently featured on an episode of Tiny Luxury on the DIY Network. Take the full tour and let us know what you think about it in the comments below. Thanks!

Can you believe it? This tiny house has an additional industrial kitchen…
Images © Tiny Heirloom
Why? Well, because they’re donut-makers!

The commercial kitchen even has a window so you can peak into the residential part of the tiny home.

Trust me, I never thought I’d be talking about a tiny house in this way either.

It’s almost like it’s a tiny house mansion… It has an industrial kitchen?!

Yes, yes it does. And a serving window too!

It really makes this tiny house perfect for events. Your kids could be home, and you could be working at a farmer’s market!

How cool is that? Pretty dreamy, I think.

Well, at least for some of us.

The kitchen part of this tiny house is really quite amazing. I’ve never really seen one done like this before.

It’s a full donut bakery!

Ready to produce and sell!

I wouldn’t mind having a sink like that in my residential kitchen! It might help kick me into gear…
Images © Tiny Heirloom
There’s an additional sink, even, for convenience sake.
Images © Tiny Heirloom
I’m pretty sure they thought of everything. But if you ask them, they may tell you something they forgot.
Images © Tiny Heirloom
The way these windows open is interesting!
Images © Tiny Heirloom
I really like how they put a window between the residential and industrial part of the tiny house.
Images © Tiny Heirloom
Work, work, work…
Images © Tiny Heirloom
But if you love it, is it really work?
Images © Tiny Heirloom
Two for one special. Yes, please.
Images © Tiny Heirloom
What’s your favorite kind of donut? They probably make it here…
Images © Tiny Heirloom
They have breakfast, too?
Images © Tiny Heirloom
The outside is finished beautifully with different siding.
Images © Tiny Heirloom
It looks pretty good, don’t you think?
Images © Tiny Heirloom
This is the entrance to the RESIDENTIAL part of the tiny house. Let’s go inside…
Images © Tiny Heirloom
Remember that window? Now you can see the industrial kitchen through there.
Images © Tiny Heirloom
Come on in!
Images © Tiny Heirloom
This tiny house has TWO lofts…
Images © Tiny Heirloom
Just remember, it’s a tiny house as well as a doughnut shop!

There’s a cozy little sitting area.

The kitchen and bath.

Looks like a really fun place.

What do you think?

What would you change about it to make it better for you?
Images © Tiny Heirloom
What a cool way to build a tiny house, right?
Images © Tiny Heirloom
Half residential, half kitchen!
Images © Tiny Heirloom
The exterior is beautiful…
Images © Tiny Heirloom
Adding all of the different siding options together makes it very artistic and fun.

Would you buy a donut from here? I sure would.
Images © Tiny Heirloom
The coolest doughnut factory…

It’s a tiny house! And a donut factory!

Let’s Talk About this Tiny House! How Would You Customize it for Yourself?
Isn’t it great how they were able to customize this tiny house to suit their business needs? My question is, what would you have done with the space instead of having a commercial kitchen?
Would it be space for a separate office, writing space, a meditation space, a mini storefront, or would you rather just use the extra space as part of the home? Let us know in the comments!
Quote from the Episode on Tiny Luxury
Kentucky entrepreneurs dream of taking their doughnut business on the road in a Tiny Home with a service-ready, commercial kitchen. The Tiny Heirloom build team works to maximize space for both big kitchen appliances and a separate living area for each of their boys. Michelle brings the girls’ modern farmhouse style to life with rustic touches and wood finishes. (Source)

OK, so that is beautiful, how much to have one made??
I love love that kitchen!! I want it. The window and breakfast bar outside. I love the rest. I will take that kitchen! Am drooling. I love to cook. My plan has a kitchen. It is on paper. Am getting antsy. Outside is awesome too. The ceilings and the floor. Love it all. I want that kitchen.
Wouldn’t be able to get away with that as a commercial type kitchen in New Zealand. Not a hope in hell.
Having food out in the open like they have on that stand would get you fined and food license taken away in New Zealand. Food MUST be covered at all time until served.
I forgot… bet it fair chews through the gas. Probably a bottle a day I’d think.
I am pretty sure the food you see outside is for photo purposes only!
How awesome! Have your work and home in one space. It gives me ideas for my home and studio! Thanks for sharing.
I love the whole build. I especially love the ceiling and would love to know where to get that lumber
Where are they located? How can they get their kitchen licensed? This is something I’m hoping we could do, minus the living in there part. I’d love to have a tiny “food truck” without needing a brick & mortar. I wondered if using this build would be our loophole in the state of Tennessee?! Thoughts anyone?
Every county in each state has their own laws regarding food!
To an extent, a health permit and a business license is usually required everywhere you plan on vending, possibly also a fire permit in some areas, and until fairly recently there was a lack of national standards for code requirements, but that’s been changing when it comes to mobile applications like food trucks, etc for details like fire safety…
Specifically, Mobile and temporary cooking is addressed in Section 50.7 of the 2018 edition of NFPA 1, Fire Code, and Adoptable Annex B of the 2017 edition of NFPA 96, Standard for Ventilation Control and Fire Protection of Commercial Cooking Operations.
The purpose of placing the language in Annex B of NFPA 96 was to allow for the jurisdictions who do not currently adopt/enforce NFPA 96 to adopt solely this annex to address mobile/temporary cooking specifically.
While there are organizations like the National Food Truck Association (NFTA), which membership gives benefits like keeping up with the latest regulation changes, etc. There’s also temporary permits for fairs and other special events, if you’re only going to be at a location for a short period…
Oh, that kitchen is to die for! The rest of the house is nice, too, but that kitchen… awesome!
No washer and dryer.
no dishwasher?
I’d repurpose the commercial kitchen to a master bedroom
How amazing to be able to make a living doing what you love and also to be able to live right next door to your job. It’s the cleverest set up I have ever seen. Kudos! The commercial kitchen blows my mind. So well organized and so much stainless steel! However, the home side is gorgeous with its skylights and windows, accents of wood, dual ladders, and beautiful bedrooms. The bathroom is so pretty! I am amazed by this story. May the doughnut fairies be with you! Thanks for sharing.
Oh I want some donut fairies!
The small sink in the industrial/donut shop is required by law for a hand washing station.
Our town has a doughnut shop opened until 12:00. I have time to go get some!
Most definitely!
Why no access between two units? Didn’t see any cooking area in the home, no stove or oven. No living area or TV. Home cute but cramped.
Well, I’d imagine the reason for the division probably has to do with the following considerations…
1) Prevent the living space from smelling like the work space… and it’s easier to meet the requirements for running a bakery business if it’s sealed off from the living space. So no risk of random cross contamination, easier to keep sanitary, etc.
2) Avoids needing to deal with humidity, etc. that would emanate from the bakery space and make it easier to keep the living space conditioned the way they want it… Along with keeping a clear home vs work division of space…
3) Kids… They’ve got two and won’t necessarily want them to wonder into the bakery where they could either get in the way or accidentally get hurt or get in there unaccompanied and possibly get into trouble… But the window lets the owners keep an eye on them while they work…
4) Safety, all the dangerous gases, oils, appliances, etc. are isolated from the living space and if anything happens then their kids will always be on the safer side and they can have more time to evacuate safely if something does happen… They also avoid exposing their kids to their customers but can still be sure they’ll always be within site of them…
I think they probably have a plug-in cooktop, or maybe if they really want to bake they go over to the bakery. They do have a sink and a mini fridge for snacks.
Someone asked about the second sink in the bakery kitchen. In United States most states have a rule you have to have a separate sink for washing hands to avoid cross contamination with food prep sink. One writer’s list of reasons for keeping the bakery separate from the home makes a lot sense and follows many state regulations.
The color scheme is nice and designed practical for a small family.
That’s a great point, Joyce!
