This compact home blends luxury materials, clever multi-use furniture, and modern engineering to create a living space that feels twice its size. From the Murphy bed on hydraulics to the convertible dining/coffee/office table, every inch of this home works overtime.
Inside, you’ll find flat-front cabinets, warm finishes, and thoughtful storage solutions throughout. The bathroom features an incredible jetted tub and a unique swiveling faucet designed for easy face washing. Up above, a cozy loft doubles as an office, and the rooftop deck gives Nico a peaceful place to do yoga or relax outdoors.

Nico’s project is a blend of engineering and imagination. From the outside, this modern tiny home looks sleek and minimalist — but inside, every inch is meticulously crafted to serve multiple purposes. The overall feel is calm, bright, and surprisingly spacious thanks to thoughtful design choices and clever storage solutions.
Ingenious Convertible Table for Dining, Coffee, and Work
This transforming table is one of the most impressive pieces in the home. It raises, lowers, and shifts to become a proper dining table, a relaxed coffee table, or a full-height office desk. In a small space, furniture like this is what makes everyday living feel effortless.

Hydraulic Murphy Bed That Opens Up the Living Space
The hydraulic Murphy bed offers comfort without sacrificing floor space. During the day, the entire area transforms into a bright, open living room. At night, the bed glides down smoothly, creating a cozy sleeping nook with hardly any effort.

You have a Beautiful Home. I believe out of all the tiny homes I have seen your is my favorite. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks so much, Mindy! 😊 I’m so glad you enjoyed Nico’s design — it really shows what’s possible in a small footprint when creativity meets craftsmanship. Appreciate you being part of the Tiny House Talk community!
$100,000? Forget it!
Yes $100k is steep–but Nico is in California where $100k might buy you a double cardboard box! I was taking post-master’s classes in 2007 and one of my professors lived outside Los Angeles; he commuted ~45 miles each way because he couldn’t afford LA prices–a crackerbox would sell for a quarter million dollars. So the cost of Nico’s home is not that far out of line.
I live in the midwest, @Top Secret, and like you, my reaction at first was three gulps and a frisson 😀 (at least). But I’d still love to try out that bathtub!
Thanks for the thoughtful perspective, Dick! 😊 You’re absolutely right — California prices really do put things in a different light. It’s wild how location changes what feels “expensive” or “reasonable,” especially when you compare it to the Midwest. That bathtub definitely adds a touch of luxury too — glad you enjoyed the feature!
I so love this one! Probably my favourite!!!
Thanks, Vee! 🙏 It’s definitely one of our favorites too — the modern touches and that rooftop deck make it such a standout. So happy you loved it!
