Tiny home enthusiasts across the country are trying to find ways to make it legal to build small homes on foundations — something to call their own and something with “roots.” These “Inzu” plans are for a one loft, one-bedroom (on the ground floor) tiny home on a foundation.

The house comes in at just under 500 square feet and packs in a first-floor bedroom, a full bathroom, a kitchen with a dishwasher, and a spacious great room for living and entertaining. The loft bedroom gives you room for kids, office space, or storage. If you had land, would you pick this layout?

  1. I really like this design, however, I would make some changes. Instead of a ladder, I’d actually put in stairs with bedroom closet under and a door closing off the stairs. I most definitely would not have 9 foot walls and cathedral ceilings. Those high ceilings are a waste of utilities. I’d have a storage attic or bedroom over the great room and the now bedroom as attic.

  2. I really like how(unlike the builders in the USA) a proper size fridge is used instead of protruding from the cabinetry. Still not a Seniors unit so much. For me, I prefer the 1.5 bath unit with the utility room combo in 400sq.ft. Fit and finish is what you expect from authentic craftsmen and women of Europe. Near perfect.

  3. In general, I like the floorplan but not the loft. Instead of that I would like to get a covered deck and a small storage for the outdoor stuff.
    9 ft ceilings are great for our FL climate because hot air is going up always and cold air the opposite way.
