Tiny House by the Marsh 8

Donelle’s father left her some lovely property by a marsh, and she had promised him she’d do something great with it — so she had a lovely little cottage built on it, and plans on having a treehouse built in the future!

This 320 sq. ft. cottage has a garage underneath and the living space up top. It’s studio-style with a queen bed on one end and the kitchen on the other. A little bathroom with a tub finishes off the space. What do you think?

Sunshine Cottage 9

Some of the most livable tiny houses are the ones that solve a single problem really well. For the Sunshine Cottage — a roughly 25-foot gooseneck tiny house on wheels built by a contractor in south Texas — that problem is the loft. Instead of a ladder and a crawl-in sleeping nook, this home uses its gooseneck (the raised platform that extends over a truck bed) to create a true standing-room bedroom you can walk into and stand up in.

Originally used as a backyard guest house, the Sunshine Cottage is a great example of how much comfortable, full-time-ready living you can fit into a small, budget-friendly footprint. Inside you’ll find a compact all-electric kitchen, a flexible living and office area, a full bathroom with a shower and flush toilet, and warm pine paneling throughout. Let’s take a closer look at how it all comes together — and the design lessons you can borrow for your own build.
