If you’re looking for a small house plan that feels incredibly spacious without a massive footprint, the Truoba Mini 220 might be exactly what you need. This 570-square-foot modern cottage (or ADU) manages to pack a full bedroom, bathroom, and a stunning open-concept living area into a compact 35′-9″ x 30′-9″ frame.

What immediately stands out about the Mini 220 is the architectural volume. While the footprint is small, the living room features angled ceilings that soar up to 14 feet. This prevents the “closed-in” feeling often associated with small homes and creates a bright, airy atmosphere—especially when paired with the large windows and sliding doors that lead to the covered porches.
Seamless Indoor-Outdoor Living
One of the most unique features of this plan is how it handles outdoor space. It features two separate covered porches. The side porch, which can easily be screened in, connects directly to the main “great room,” effectively doubling your social space during nice weather. Even better? The master bedroom has its own private access to the front covered porch, making it the perfect spot for your morning coffee.
Privacy and Functionality
Unlike many “tiny” plans where everything is in one room, the Mini 220 is designed for long-term comfort. The bedroom is tucked away from the living area for maximum privacy. It also includes a dedicated utility room for a stackable washer/dryer and extra storage, ensuring the home remains clutter-free.
