    Excellent use of space. I particularly like the main level bed/dining area. Quite creative.

    I’m really impressed by the bathroom in this tiny space, as well as the area of seating on drawers?? Neat!!

    So basically the main floor bed is what could be considered auxillary kitchen counter space? Not so sure how I feel about that.

    • Natalie C. McKee
      March 15, 2017, 10:27 am

      No the bed is separate but there’s that little table that pulls out for eating 🙂

      • Sgmaps
        March 15, 2017, 10:13 pm

        I realize that now, but it does take a second look and until I saw in the description that there was a main floor bed it did appear as if , being in the kitchen it could be a large counter top.

    I LOVE the dinette seating on drawers and pullout table. Ingenious and a great double use of space that frees up space elsewhere. I’m not so crazy about the bare generic plywood look though. I probably would have opted to pay more for cabinet grade plywood sealed with a clear finish or given in an painted the walls. This is a great little house!

    This has some very creative ideas that could be utilized in any THOW. Very innovative use of space. This would be great for an individual setting out on their own for the first time. There are a couple of things I personally do not care for — if you used that lower bed area as a bed it is going to get covered in cooking grease due to the location of the burner. There is no place for clothes that I could see, so I guess you are only allowed what you are wearing. I would not use that lower space for a bed, I would put up a divider of some sort, curtain, folding doors, sliding doors and turn that space into a closet. Otherwise this is a very functional design for the space.

      Great ideas to improve the space!

      Good idea about creating a closet space. i guess some don’t believe in hanging their clothes up anymore.

  • Meta

    Very well designed space. It would work for me and grandchildren, with storage space under the benches…it looks to be affordable and not so highend. As some of us are going tiny, because we want it simple and nice. This has a good size bathroom with room for more shelving or a fold up tiny sink. And may also consider a small 20″ cookstove w/oven. 16″ is doable.

    • Natalie C. McKee
      March 30, 2017, 8:59 am

      Yes I’d like the cookstove 🙂

    Okay! , nicely done. but where is a closet? are there any closets at all? where is one expected to hang clothes or store things like broom , mops etc. what’s with it in some tiny house floor plans there is no closets not even one tiny one?

    • Natalie C. McKee
      June 1, 2017, 2:48 pm

      I think most larger tiny homes do try to have closet space, or at least a spot behind a door for a broom. This one is so limited at only 16 ft., though. You can just only fit so much! Once you get to 20 ft and beyond, there’s usually decent storage in THOWs.

  • Silverd Gypsy

    This is a great little build. The only thing I would change would be some kind of closet over the tongue to house the propane bottle(s). Come winter, if you don’t want problems with your propane, you need a bottle blanket; better yet, put it in an insulated cupboard over the tongue. That way it won’t freeze over and it won’t get stolen. The rest of it is great for a Ramblin’ Man or a Silver Gypsy! 😀

    • Natalie C. McKee

      Good idea, Silver Gypsy!

      I agree! Just enough space and better than a dorm room 🙂

  • Barb

    I believe for the price it could have the propane tanks in a covered space. That end bed does need a pull up or across curtain type privacy. There does seem to be storage. Just if you want to hang, be creative. There’s room in bathroom for a hanger bar, and above beds.

    • Natalie C. McKee
      June 2, 2017, 12:16 pm

      Yes a curtain could be added easily 🙂 I think this is just what it looked like straight from MitchCraft. It’d be fun to see it “lived in.”

    That’s the best tiny design I’ve seen so far, and the utilization of space is awesome.

    Nicely done , but lacks closet space.. where will one hang their clothes, ,store brooms mops and etc..?

  • alice h

    Nicely done but essentially it’s an eat-in/sleep-in kitchen with a loft. I would prefer a proper lounging space with a day bed and a large window to watch the world from.

    • Marsha Cowan

      It has a seating area in the place we usually end up, the kitchen. I hover over my table the whole time I am in my house, typing, playing games with folks, watching televison. I like the arrangement myself. Reminds me of when my kids were small, and we would all sit around the kitchen table in the evening and talk about the day. It was cozy and wonderful. That is what this table set up brings to my mind.

      • alice h
        February 22, 2018, 12:19 pm

        Yup, all depends on how you use a space whether any particular configuration makes sense or not. I’ve been living in a 10×12 no loft shack since last May and spend a lot of time at the table (command central). I also have a built-in sleeping/reading couch where I spend a lot of time. Big window views from either spot, just the way I like it.

  • Dominick Bundy

    Not a bad lay out for the size.. But I didn’t see any closet space at all.. Nothing ! What does one do with their clothes that has to be hung up?

    • Karen Blackburn

      I use the tried (over centuries) and trusted method of chests. As I live in dresses with only a couple of pairs of slacks (for when it gets really wet, and Ireland gets lots of rain) I haven’t found a problem to date, and I have done this now for nearly a decade. A couple of wall hooks to hang a garment up overnight to let any wrinkles fall and dresses are fit to wear. I do use all natural fabrics such as cotton or linen but that probably increases wrinkles rather than lessens them. Still, no problem and never had any comments about unironed clothing (yes I do have to look professional for work reasons).

    Very nicely done! Lovely in every detail. So much organization in such a tiny space. I know you love living in it. . .

    Nope, I don’t like the plywood! Looks dark and cheap and not homey.

    • James D.
      June 5, 2021, 6:28 pm

      Could always paint or wallpaper them, plywood is wood veneer but the really nice ones are pricey vs the construction grade stuff that this appears to be. So depends on your budget…

      Some have even used methods to make the plywood look like drywall/sheetrock or plaster. You could even consider applying 1/8th” drywall panels over it or other veneer decor products to change its appearance. So you’re not limited to just how it looks…

      Structurally, it’s great for hanging things as you can put a screw anywhere and it’ll be a lot stronger than doing the same in drywall/sheetrock, like having studs everywhere. So you can play around with modifying the layout before you address the appearance of the walls…

      Renovating is something to consider whenever you buy a THOW that’s already made or pre-owned but most builders are custom builders so they can always do it differently if you hire them to build another one… Just comes down to budget…

    Nice design. Reminds me a lot of the van conversions I have been enjoying seeing. Much better use of space than a lot – and I love the ground floor bed. Only needs washer/dryer! But I know how to solve that, without taking up more space than will fit in one small drawer! The bonus would be the guest bed in the loft! I could definitely live in this space!

  • Mary

    Love the plywood! So warm and cozy. Easy care also. I like the uber efficient layout, a lot packed into 16′. I might opt for another two feet to find a way to have a narrow closet. The broom and clothes would end up in the way otherwise.
    A very nice build!

    Love this tiny house! Bed/table/seating area reminiscent of van tiny house builds. No reason not to use it in a THOW! If you don’t like the plywood, there is always paint or wallpaper. I could happily live in this tiny house! If it were me, I would set it up in a permanent location, and therefore would change the toilet out for a flush toilet, only because I don’t like the hassle of dealing with the composting toilet. Wasteful, I know, but with my energy levels (I’m 74 with mobility issues), it is the choice I would have to make!
