We have a new (to us) tiny house builder to introduce today — Cocoon Tiny Homes in New Zealand. The family-owned-and-operated business specializes in steel-frame structures, like their 39′ Serenity model that features a first-floor bedroom with its own sliding doors.
The other end of the THOW has a full U-shaped kitchen bursting with cabinets, as well as a cozy living room space with room for a “real couch” (no benches). A staircase winds to the kids’ loft that has plenty of room for a couple of twin beds, or another queen bed. What do you think?

Great house. I’d be tempted to take a page out of Anna White’s book and put a washer/dryer or freezer in the dead space under the kitchen counters in the corners that is so hard to reach. She just made the unit that sat in front of it moveable. I’d also think about lowering the ceiling over the queen sized bed downstairs so the loft has a stand up area between the twin beds. Kids are only going to get taller. But this is a great house already. I love the placement of those big patio style windows for the view in the living room and for egress as well as view in the bedroom, and pretty much all of the finishing. Too bad it’s only in New Zealand.
Ha ha, too bad it’s only in USA is a popular refrain from New Zealand.
All good things come to those who wait… or something like that.
Wow! That is beautiful! Love the wood with black accents…a lot! LOVE the u-shaped kitchen and wish more manufacturers would get on board with that design! I might suggest that corner cabinets with carousel shelving be used to utilize storage to the max. And it would ride out an earthquake really well…California has them just like New Zealand. Just look at the structure underneath! Impressive! Ah, too bad it is in New Zealand. They won’t let outsiders move there…well, maybe just a few but it is strict…and it would be cost prohibitive to bring one of those here so one can only hope that this post would inspire manufacturers here. I’m not in the market right now but I’m still feeling a bit jealous!!! 😉 Well done! Wishing much enjoyment to the people of New Zealand!
Yeah, it certainly impressive but… it wouldn’t be able to get around a LOT of roads because, going back to the old days, when NZ was being developed, the govt of the day paid for road construction by the pound (we converted to dollars in 1967) and no rules or requirements on straight roads AT ALL. And now we pay for it in petrol (gas) costs, road crashed etc.
