The Minimaliste Nomad is a gorgeous 200-square-foot tiny house built by the acclaimed Canadian builder. Its standout feature is a separate first-floor bedroom, making it ideal for those who don’t want to climb to a loft. There’s also a dinette that converts into a twin-sized bed for kids or guests.

The bathroom features a mini tub with subway tile walls, along with a dry-flush toilet. The kitchen includes an oven, washer-dryer combo unit, and ample storage throughout. The home can run fully off-grid with its solar and battery system, or plug into standard RV hookups.

  • Ground-Floor Bedrooms Expand Your Audience: Not everyone can or wants to climb a ladder—a main-level bedroom makes tiny living accessible to more people
  • Convertible Furniture Multiplies Function: A dinette that seats four and converts to a guest bed provides dining, socializing, and sleeping in one footprint
  • Steel Exteriors Reduce Maintenance: Faux wood steel cladding gives the warmth of wood without the painting, staining, or rot concerns
  • Mini Tubs Are Possible: You don’t have to choose between a shower-only bathroom and no tub—compact soaking tubs fit in tiny houses
  • Dual Power Options Provide Flexibility: A solar/battery system for off-grid plus RV hookup compatibility means you can camp anywhere or plug in when available
