This Japanese-inspired tiny house on wheels was custom-built for a Baluchon client who needs a home to travel with him for work around the United Kingdom. He loves Japanese architecture and the Bonzai Tiny House reflects that with a curved roof, red and black accents, and a screen door.
The home is just under 15 feet long to make it lightweight and easy to tow for travel. Even with that short height, the home has no loft, but rather a pull-out bed mat that lies on top of the living room floor at night. The kitchen is elevated to allow for lots of drawer storage underneath, and the wet bathroom is open to the rest of the home to keep the space from feeling claustrophobic.

This is so beautifully designed. I love the kitchen and the shower. It’s so serene and cozy. A comfortable place in a little space. I love it!
Those long, pullout drawers under the raised part of the floor look particularly practical.
Absolutely gorgeous and really, really clever! In a space so small, necessity is the Mother of invention and the aesthetics are amazing at the same time. Wow.
