I don’t think I’ll ever tire of looking at Baluchon-built tiny homes. I only wish they were available state-side, but Baluchon only makes homes in France. This is a house they designed for a couple, which they named the “Ala Köl.”
It features an off-center ridgeline and a “glass wall” in the entry that lets in much-needed natural light. The living room has a couch and dining for four, and the kitchen has a sleek black sink, compact four-burner oven/stove and a mini-fridge. There’s a bathroom at the very end of the THOW, and a loft bedroom accessible via storage steps.
The coolest feature in this THOW is a wooden world map that reminds the couple of their many travels. Scroll down to take a tour of this beauty.

The rich wood flooring contrasts well with the light walls.

The glass front wall is gorgeous!

Do you like open or closed stair storage?

The table flips up to provide extra seating.

What a gorgeous wooden map.

Fridge and sink station on one wall.

And the oven and prep area is over here.

Everything melds together so well.

These long, thin windows let in even more sunshine.

Your view when entering the tiny house.

By tucking the bed on one side, they have space for shelving.

The bathroom has a laundry unit next to the shower.

And some great closet storage.

You can immediately tell this is a Baluchon creation from the exterior.
