This design features a twin-sized couch bed on the first floor and a main bedroom up in the ladder-accessible loft. There’s even that additional netted lounge loft that Baluchon has become known for.

The roomy bathroom has a corner shower, a spacious linen closet, and a composting toilet. What’s your favorite feature of this home?

Most budget DIY tiny houses are built for fair weather. This 150-square-foot home in Arundel, Maine was not — and its spec sheet is the interesting part. Two inches of sealed foam in the walls, two inches in the roof with blown-in insulation on top of that, four inches in the floor, and double-insulated windows throughout. Its builder lived in it for over two years, through Maine winters, which is about as honest a durability test as a tiny house gets.
The interior is rustic in the resourceful sense rather than the decorative one. A U-shaped dining area built from pallets fills one end, with a removable table and bench seating wrapping the walls. Wide pine flooring runs throughout, built-in shelves line the walls, and rope lighting around the ceiling handles ambiance. A compact galley kitchen in the middle carries an induction burner, a sink fed by a 27-gallon tank and pump, a mini fridge, and a small separate freezer. The bed at the far end is a full that converts to a twin, with deep storage underneath.
Editor’s note: this home was listed at $19,500 (negotiable) in 2023 and has sold. We’ve kept the tour up because it’s one of the best cold-climate DIY builds we’ve featured at any price. Homes available now are linked below.
