Brandon and Sarah started their on-the-water life about four years ago, by completely renovating an old 225-square-foot houseboat they have moored in North Carolina. While they loved that first home, it was time for an upgrade! The maximum size they were allowed was a 360 square foot living space and 400 square feet of deck — so that’s what they did.
Now they have a bedroom with space to walk around the bed, a loft bedroom for guests, more counterspace, and a breathtaking two-basin copper sink! There’s even a 100-gallon stock tank bathtub in the bathroom where they can relax after a long day of work. Could you live on the water like this?

Heidi and Mike are an incredible couple who got the wild idea to build a tiny house from a semi-truck trailer! Since they had no prior building experience, the idea of simply cutting out windows and doors rather than framing a whole structure was attractive to them. That said, when you see the interior, you’ll be floored at what they learned to produce this caliber of tiny home.
They actually started off living in tents while building the semi. Still, the windy season made it miserable, so they purchased another unfinished trailer to keep them out of the elements. Eventually, it will become a guest area! For now, they live in the leading semi with a convertible bedroom, tons of under-floor storage, and a beautiful spa-like bathroom. Let us know what you love most in the comments!

We hope you’re enjoying the selection of new small home plans we’ve been digging up for you! While many people can handle life in less than 400 square feet, others need a little more elbow room. This 624 sq. ft. uses that extra 224 square feet to add a practical mudroom and a full bathroom, which is so nice for hiding things that often clutter up tiny spaces.
Another perk of this design is the covered front porch, which helps extend your living area outdoors. The traditional home style will fit in just about any neighborhood across the country, and because it’s over the “tiny” limit, you may have an easier time securing permits. What do you like about this design?

Alice & Ambrose wanted to try out an off-grid lifestyle in South Africa, and they have truly made it happen! Even without electricity (or solar!) they’ve been thriving with their rainwater catchment system, wood-fired hot water tank, large garden, and storage shed for overflow pantry goods and clothing.
All in all, they’ve spent about $16,000 on the site, caravan, and conversion — which is quite impressive! Ambrose is a professional stand-up comedian, so this is a lively and exciting tour. Enjoy!

We’ve noticed a lot more tiny homes being used for Airbnb on local farms as another income stream for small businesses. It’s truly a great idea, especially for those who want to experience farm life! Perch & Nest designed and built this beautiful Roost 24 model for Foxfire Meadow in North Carolina, and they expect it to be ready for guests in January.
The house has a standard loft tiny house layout, with the galley kitchen next to the bathroom on one end of the house and the living room on the other end. The bedroom can fit a queen-sized bed, and you get up there via a ladder. What do you think?

While sleek, modern tiny houses are gorgeous, I’m still partial to cabin-inspired tiny houses, heated by a wood stove and featuring live-edge countertops. This cedar-clad 26′ tiny home is just that! Even though the interior blends darker wood tones, the number of windows and skylights makes the 275-square-foot space feel exceptionally spacious.
The galley kitchen takes up the back of the tiny home, and there’s a wet bathroom running parallel to it. Storage stairs lead up to the loft bedroom, which benefits from a large skylight. The house is/was for sale in Bend, Oregon, for $69,000.

This cedar shingle camper pod is a funky tiny house design! It looks like the perfect little home to tuck onto a vacation property or anywhere in the woods. The home is a single level, with a built-in bed cubby at the back of the THOW. It has a studio-style setup, but a bathroom and kitchen make it appropriate for full-time living. It was listed for $35,000 in Vida, Oregon back in 2023.
