Mint Tiny House Company has been building in Delta, British Columbia for over a decade, and their Ventura has long been one of the go-to choices for people who want a park model rather than a tiny house on wheels. The company just rolled out a fully redesigned version of it, and the changes are worth a close look.
At 40 feet long and 10 feet wide, the new Ventura delivers roughly 400 square feet on the main floor plus another 120-plus square feet across two sleeping lofts. That’s a lot of tiny house! But what makes this redesign interesting isn’t the footprint — it’s the 12-foot ceilings, the wall of glass at the living end, and a set of decisions that push it closer to a small home than a tiny house.

A Blacked-Out Exterior That Disappears Into the Landscape
The exterior is finished in LP SmartSide 76 Series in black, with 29-gauge metal roofing, a 1×4 comb-face fascia, and pine tongue-and-groove soffits in a mocha stain. The dark cladding does something useful beyond looking sharp: it lets the glass read as the primary feature rather than the siding. Combined with the low-slope shed roof, the result is a building that looks deliberately designed rather than assembled from RV parts.
Underneath, it rides on four 7,000-pound axles with a 28,000-pound GVWR. That’s a serious chassis, and it reflects the reality that a 40-foot park model is a one-time transport proposition, not something you tow on weekends.

From the front, the proportions make more sense. The entry door sits roughly a third of the way down the length, with the living and dining end to the right and the main-floor bedroom to the left behind a sliding glass door.

The Glass Corner Is the Whole Point
Walk in and the dining area is the first thing that registers, because it sits in a corner wrapped in floor-to-ceiling glass. Mint pushed the table right up against the windows and used a bench on the window side, which is a smart move in a 10-foot-wide building — you get four seats without the table needing clearance on all four sides.
This is also where the 12-foot ceilings earn their keep. In most park models the ceiling height is the first thing that gives away that you’re in an RV. Here, the vertical volume plus the uninterrupted glass makes the dining corner feel like a room in a house.

A Kitchen Built for Actual Cooking
The kitchen runs in an L along the exterior wall, finished in champagne-toned cabinets with a natural cream solid-surface countertop and matte black hardware. It’s a restrained palette, and it works — the warm cabinet fronts keep the all-white surfaces from feeling clinical.
Appliance-wise, this is not a token kitchen. There’s a propane cooktop, a separate oven, a 30-inch hood fan, a microwave, an 18-inch dishwasher, and a stainless undermount sink with a pull-out faucet. The upper cabinets run the full height available, and the counter turns the corner to give you real prep space beside the sink.

The 18-inch dishwasher deserves its own mention. Narrow dishwashers are one of the highest-value upgrades in a small home, and Mint fit one directly beside the sink where the plumbing run is shortest. If you’ve ever tried to retrofit one into an existing tiny house, you know how much easier this is to get right at the design stage.

A Hallway, Which Is Rarer Than You’d Think
One of the quiet luxuries of a 40-foot footprint is that you can afford a hallway. The Ventura uses that width to separate the public end of the house from the private end, with the bathroom and main-floor bedroom tucked behind doors at the far end.
The single-zone mini-split is mounted high on the hallway wall, which puts it roughly at the center of the floor plan so conditioned air reaches both ends. Above, the stained V-groove ceiling runs the length of the space — the one place where warm wood is allowed to take over from the white shiplap.

Two Sleeping Lofts, Not One
This is the detail that separates the U.S. Ventura from its Canadian sibling. U.S. models get two sleeping lofts, each sized for a queen mattress, because the ANSI A119.5 park model standard allows it. Canadian units built to CSA Z241 get one loft, and it’s certified for storage only.
If you’re sizing a home for a family or for guest capacity, that’s a meaningful difference. Two queen lofts plus a queen bedroom on the main floor puts sleeping capacity at six or more, depending on configuration.

The second loft opens to the room below behind a black slat railing, which keeps sightlines open to the main floor and lets borrowed light reach the back of the space. Staged as a kid’s room here, it reads as genuinely usable rather than as a crawl space.

Full-Size Laundry Behind a Door
A 220V stacked laundry center is included and hidden in a closet off the hallway. Plenty of small homes offer a combo washer-dryer as an option; a dedicated stacked unit on its own circuit is a different tier of convenience, and it’s one of the clearest signals that this is meant for full-time living.

The Bathroom Keeps Its Own Storage
The bathroom sits at the private end with a standard flush toilet, an obscured-glass window for daylight and ventilation, an exhaust fan, and a 36-by-36-inch vinyl shower enclosure. There’s also a wall heater, which matters in a room at the far end of a single-zone HVAC system.

The best move here is the full-height linen tower beside the vanity. A 24-inch vanity with a rectangular undermount sink gives you counter space, and the tower gives you the storage that a small bathroom usually has to steal from somewhere else.

What Makes This Build Special
- Height does more than square footage. The 12-foot ceilings are what make 10 feet of width feel generous. If you’re designing your own build, ceiling height is often the cheapest way to buy perceived space.
- The glass corner beats a bigger living room. Wrapping two walls of the dining area in floor-to-ceiling glass borrows the view as usable space — a move that works in any small home with a decent outlook.
- Certification drives the floor plan. The two-loft U.S. version versus the single storage loft in Canada is a clean example of how code, not design preference, often determines what you can build.
- Narrow appliances are worth planning around. An 18-inch dishwasher and a stacked 220V laundry center are far easier to integrate during design than to retrofit later.
- A hallway is a real amenity. Separating sleeping and living zones behind doors is what most tiny homes give up first, and what most full-time residents miss most.
