Daniel and Alejandra live in the Orlando Lakefront Tiny House Community in Florida in their own DIY tiny house, “Skylight.” The name comes from the two giant 8-foot skylights that occupy more than half of the roof. Allowing ample natural light makes the space brighter and creates a sense of greater space.
Daniel built the house on a trailer from an old RV, sourced the skylights on Marketplace, and reclaimed the spiral staircase from a pontoon boat. The home has an incredible kitchen and gorgeous closet storage in the bathroom. You’ll notice the color scheme is white and beige, which intentionally keeps the space extra open. What do you think of this couple’s custom tiny home?

It’s always great to find plans for little houses—just more significant than the 400 square feet most municipalities need to let you build on a foundation. The White Oaks plans are for a 523 sq. ft. cottage with a clever Murphy Bed set-up in the main living/dining/kitchen area to keep everything on one level.
The plans include a small bathroom and two large covered porches on either end of the home. If you build this home in a temperate climate, you could easily enjoy nearly tripling your living space but spending time outdoors! What do you think of these plans?

With its striking all-black exterior and clever no-loft layout, this 28-foot Kangaroo THOW proves that tiny house design doesn’t have to follow a formula. Built on a custom heavy-duty triple-axle Kangaroo trailer, it replaces the traditional sleeping loft with a queen-sized Murphy bed that folds over the couch, keeping the ceilings high and every inch of the home accessible.
At 8.5 by 28 feet, this build packs in a full kitchen with oak cabinetry, a bathroom with a Nature’s Head composting toilet, and even a built-in rainwater collection system. French doors welcome you in, and thoughtful built-in storage makes the most of every wall.
