Just wait until you watch the video tour of this absolutely incredible DIY family tiny house. Ingeniously designed by the owners on Sketch-Up (and largely built by them, with the help of some specialists), this house features double lofts, a cozy living, a luxury bathroom, and more counter space than I’ve ever seen in a tiny home!
The home itself is 36×8, but the added covered porch (which is gated, so the toddlers can run outside alone) doubles the living area. They have solar panels all over the roof that provide oodles of power, and a rainwater catchment system for running water. The toddlers have a safe loft area where they can run, play, and sleep, and the parents have a minimalist loft of their own. There are so many more features you’ll watch to check out below!
