Tiny Retirement

The photo below is an interior shot of Dan’s mom’s house, called Tiny Retirement. This design is made for people who don’t want to climb into a sleeping loft every night, making it ideal for retirees or anyone preferring main-floor living.

Tiny Living

The second design is called Tiny Living, which Dan built for himself. It’s larger than Tiny Retirement and includes a sleeping loft to create more room and functionality on the main floor.
