Tru Form Tiny has delivered its latest Cascade Max to Colorado, and it is a beautiful example of what happens when a tiny home is designed around one person’s very specific vision. Built for homeowner Noelle’s Southwestern-inspired take on a modern mountain retreat, this 38-foot park model on wheels packs 399 square feet of single-level living beneath 11-foot vaulted ceilings — plus two bonus lofts up top.
From the Pewter Green exterior to the walnut details handcrafted throughout the interior, the Cascade Max blends the comfort and function of a full-size home with the craftsmanship that defines high-end tiny living. Let’s take a closer look.

A Modern Mountain Exterior in Pewter Green
The Cascade Max wears its modern-mountain styling well. The exterior pairs Pewter Green lap siding with board-and-batten panels, topped by a charcoal standing-seam metal roof and trimmed in black-framed windows and custom cedar accents. Blush-toned French doors add an unexpected Southwestern softness against the cool green, while the stepped gable-and-shed rooflines give the 38-by-10.5-foot home an architectural presence that reads far larger than its footprint.
An Open Kitchen Built Around a Statement Backsplash
The kitchen is the heart of the home, and it earns the spotlight. Deep forest-green cabinetry grounds the space, while a striking white-and-brass geometric tile backsplash draws the eye and reflects the under-cabinet lighting. Solene Marble countertops wrap the L-shaped run and spill over a peninsula in a clean waterfall edge, and champagne hardware ties the warm metals together. A handcrafted walnut range hood and floating walnut shelving add the natural warmth that runs throughout the build.
For a home this size, the appliance package is genuinely impressive: a full-height Whirlpool refrigerator, a propane range, and a Fisher & Paykel drawer dishwasher tucked discreetly into the cabinetry. Tru Form even concealed a full laundry system behind custom built-ins, so nothing about daily life gets sacrificed for square footage.
The peninsula does double duty as prep space and a casual breakfast bar, with room for two stools so the cook is never working alone. Open shelving keeps everyday dishes and glassware within easy reach — a smart move in a kitchen where every cabinet door is one more thing to navigate.
A Light-Filled Living Room Under Vaulted Ceilings
Step past the kitchen and the home opens up into a bright, airy living room. White shiplap covers the walls and the soaring vaulted ceiling, where exposed wood beams add structure and warmth overhead. Tall black-framed windows — topped with transoms — pull in daylight from every direction and make the 11-foot ceilings feel even taller, while a brass linear chandelier anchors the room with a touch of polish.
The open layout keeps the kitchen, dining, and living areas connected, so the whole main level lives as one continuous, social space — ideal for full-time living rather than just weekend getaways.
A Fireplace with Southwestern Character
The living room’s focal point is a fireplace wrapped in patterned blue-and-white tile and capped with a solid walnut mantel — a nod to the homeowner’s Southwestern inspiration. It’s a small space given outsized personality, and paired with the cowhide rug and shiplap backdrop, it brings real texture and warmth to the room.
A Spa-Style Bathroom in Statement Marble
The bathroom carries the home’s elevated design language all the way through. Dramatic Cala Rosso Viola marble — white with deep purple and burgundy veining — lines the walls, the glass-enclosed shower, and the surround behind a black freestanding soaking tub. Champagne-brass fixtures, including a floor-mounted tub filler, keep the palette cohesive with the kitchen.
Having both a full glass shower and a freestanding soaking tub in a tiny home is a rare luxury, and the Cascade Max fits both without feeling cramped — thanks in part to the walnut staircase just beyond that leads up to one of the lofts.
At the vanity, a round backlit mirror floats above a black trough sink on a slim metal-and-walnut stand, with a custom walnut medicine cabinet and a wall-hung toilet keeping the footprint clean and open. Folded towels on the lower shelf add easy, hotel-style storage.
Two Lofts and a Floating Workspace
Because the main floor handles full-time living on a single level, the Cascade Max’s two lofts are free to flex. One of them has been finished as a quiet retreat with a floating live-edge wood workspace built right into the wall — a perfect spot for a home office, reading nook, or guest space, with a dormer window letting in natural light.
