Are you searching for some tiny house plans? Small House Catalog released three excellent choices recently: A 336-square-foot A-frame, a 224-square-foot studio cottage, and an itty bitty writer’s cabin.

If you’re looking for a full-time residence, the A-Frame is likely your best bet as it has a first-floor bedroom, a loft, and a kitchen and bathroom area. The studio cottage would make a great guest cottage, although with enough storage you could easily live in it full-time. Finally, the writer’s cabin is the most basic of the plans and is meant as an auxiliary office, since there’s no plumbing planned in. Check them out below and tell us which is your favorite!

Purposely Lost is a fantastic woodland retreat space in Sandford, Maine, where you can stay in one of three treehouses or two “Hobbit” houses. This underground home, pictured below, is a stunning blend of cozy and luxurious, with warm wood tones, leather accents, and stonework.

The home looks like a hill, with moss and mud surrounding the doors and windows. But when you enter, it’s anything but dingy and dirty! Instead, the comfortable space has a full kitchen, a bathroom (with a tiled shower stall!), and a gorgeous stone (electric) fireplace. Could you live in this space?

This PodTel might be the future of housing! It was factory-built and dropped off via crane in the Spanish desert, and it’s completely, 100% self-sustaining. The tiny house is off-grid with solar panels, an incinerating toilet, and a water system that sucks moisture out of the air to provide water for the home.

All of those features are then controlled by your smartphone via a special app, making the entire house smart as well as sustainable! You can dim the lights, control the temperature, and even purchase locked “extras” while you stay there. Because the home is self-contained, it can be placed just about anywhere in the world (that you can move a crane, of course). What do you think?

Julie and Ryan wanted a place that felt like home, but couldn’t find any affordable options in California, so they built a tiny house! They looked for floor plans that would provide a separate loft office for Julie. Still, they ultimately decided to create their own design that carefully incorporated everything they needed for themselves and their dog, Nuggs.

Their craftsman-style design features a loft with space for a King-sized bed, accessible via storage stairs, and a long galley kitchen with full-sized appliances and lots of counter space. The back bathroom has a composting toilet system, a washer/dryer, and a walk-in tiled shower stall. Enjoy examining all the details below!

Tim wanted to keep living in Colorado, but needed a more affordable option. His solution? Build a 32-foot-long tiny house on a gooseneck trailer — and he did it in just three months for about $42,000. While he says he wouldn’t attempt that kind of timeline again, he loved the process and would definitely build another home if he needed to in the future. His off-grid tiny house is packed with creative features, from a lifted bathroom that hides a water tank and heater underneath the floor to a penny-and-epoxy shower basin that he crafted by hand. It’s a great example of what’s possible when you combine determination, creativity, and a willingness to learn as you go.
