If you’ve been dreaming of a tiny house that feels more like a stylish cottage, the eVISTA King might be exactly what you’ve been looking for.
This beautifully designed tiny home blends the modern efficiency of ESCAPE’s eVISTA model with the wider, more comfortable layout of the Classic King. The result is a thoughtfully crafted, all-electric tiny house that feels open, livable, and surprisingly spacious.

Hi! My name is Amber Ritchie and I’m a single millennial woman dwelling solo in the East Lake neighborhood of metro-Atlanta, Georgia. I reside with my two cats, Ponyboy and Cherry.
My tiny home is actually a 462-square-foot rental apartment where I’ve created a personal design philosophy I call Tiny Maximalism: a way of living that embraces intentional abundance through vintage, secondhand, and inherited pieces.
At shy of 11 feet, this is the smallest tiny house built by Baluchon, but it still sleeps three: a twin-sized loft (enclosed in netting) and a pull-out couch for two.
On one end of the tiny home, you’ll find the shower, toilet, and functional kitchenette with a hot plate, mini-fridge, and sink. On the other end is a stunning porthole window over a desk/table. In the middle is the bench for relaxing. The home was designed for a family seeking a comfortable place to stay during fishing trips. Enjoy the tour below and let us know your thoughts in the comments section!

Patty is an 80-year-old who has been living on the road for 60 years. She’s proof that age is no barrier to van life—and that an expensive build isn’t required either.
Still working as a business consultant and running her own YouTube podcast (the Patty Serrano Podcast), she lives by the Japanese concept of Ikigai: doing what you love, what you’re passionate about, and what you can monetize. She also found love later in life, meeting her partner at a New Year’s Eve campfire in Quartzsite.

Patty’s current home is a 2004 Cono van. Her approach demonstrates that van life doesn’t require a massive investment—she spent approximately $200 on the interior build.

In the world of overlanding and van life, there are builds, and then there are fortresses. We’ve found one that truly redefines “go-anywhere, do-anything”: a massive, heavy-duty rig built on a military Stewart and Stevenson chassis with a rugged ambulance box conversion added to it.
The owner/builder, Chad, affectionately calls it the ultimate vehicle that can “survive the end times.” But this project is about more than just life on the road; it was a four-year passion that helped him achieve over three years of sobriety.

Cindy fell in love with tiny homes back in 2017, and by 2019, she had moved into Phase 2 of Acony Bell Tiny House Community in North Carolina. At the time, she was one of the third houses in the second phase, and now the village is full of other amazing tiny homes. She wanted a park model home and purchased this one for $55,000, which includes a first-floor bedroom and an 11-foot interior width. When she’s not home, she rents out the space on Airbnb to generate additional income.

Ever wondered what it’s like to turn a rugged 1998 military vehicle into a full-time home for a family of five? This adventurous family did exactly that—ditching their traditional house to build an off-grid-ready rolling tiny home designed for overlanding, remote living, and long-term travel. Their rig is part expedition truck, part tiny house, and part brilliant DIY creativity. It’s durable, functional, surprisingly spacious, and built to support life on the road for weeks at a time. From dual slide-outs to a large solar array, a smart kitchen setup, and bunk spaces for the kids, this rig is a great example of what’s possible when you combine imagination with a military-grade platform. Whether you dream of overlanding, full-time family travel, or unique tiny house conversions, this build offers endless inspiration.

After traveling the world with just a backpack, Erika was already familiar with tiny living long before she and her husband, Matt, settled into this beautifully converted family skoolie. What began as a spontaneous opportunity turned into a warm, functional home on wheels for their family of three.
This conversion stands out for one unforgettable detail: a shower built directly into the front stairwell of the bus — one of the most creative space-saving ideas we’ve ever seen. From the warm live-edge countertops to the cozy layout built for a growing family, this skoolie continues to inspire tiny-living enthusiasts years after its original build.
Today, we’re revisiting this amazing DIY bus home as an evergreen feature. Whether you’re dreaming of building your own skoolie, gathering layout ideas, or simply love a good tiny-home tour, this one delivers a ton of inspiration.

One of the most unique features of this bus conversion is the custom shower tucked right into the stairwell. Instead of letting that space go to waste, they turned it into a fully functional wet bath — a brilliant solution that keeps the rest of the layout open and airy.

There’s no question that communities everywhere are struggling to create affordable, walkable, and sustainable housing — but the team at the MicroLife Institute decided to turn that challenge into a real solution. In partnership with the city of Clarkston, Georgia, they developed Cottages on Vaughn, a half-acre micro pocket neighborhood featuring eight beautifully designed cottages ranging from 250 to 550 square feet.
What started as a small urban infill idea quickly became one of Georgia’s most talked-about tiny housing projects. Before ground was even broken in 2019, more than 1,500 people had joined the interest list — a clear sign of how badly communities want attainable small homes.
Each cottage was sold between $119,000 and $201,000, and the development includes shared green spaces, edible landscaping, solar power, and other smart, eco-friendly features. While you can’t move in today, the MicroLife Institute now offers plans for these cottages, making it possible to recreate this model in other towns facing similar housing shortages.
