The Coolangatta 8.4 is a study in how far a tailored design can take a tiny house. A one-off custom build from the Gold Coast, Australia–based Removed Tiny Homes, this 8.4-meter (about 27’7″) home was reworked from the ground up for clients who wanted flexibility, storage, and a little extra breathing room. Wrapped in dark monument cladding and finished with natural textures inside, it balances a warm, coastal aesthetic with genuinely clever spatial thinking — custom storage stairs, a full kitchen, generous glazing, and a calm, minimal interior. Its signature move is a second loft that floats above the main living space, ready to flex between a workspace, a guest loft, or a second bedroom.

A One-Off, Reworked for the Way They Live
Where Removed’s standard models — the Byron Bay, Cabarita, Tallebudgera, and Currumbin — start from set floor plans, the Coolangatta’s position and layout were reworked specifically around how its owners planned to live. Inside, the palette is light and calm: white cabinetry and walls, a warm timber-lined ceiling, light timber floors, and brushed-brass hardware for a coastal, minimal feel. The standout detail is the custom storage staircase — a run of white drawers and cabinets built into the steps — that turns the climb to the loft into valuable storage rather than wasted space.

A Full Kitchen Wrapped in Glass
For a custom built around flexibility, the kitchen doesn’t cut corners. A white stone benchtop runs the length of the galley and extends into a window-side bench with seating, set beneath a long picture window that frames the green outside — the “generous glazing” Removed designed in. There’s a gas cooktop, an under-bench oven, a full-height fridge, and floor-to-ceiling cabinetry, all finished in white with brushed-brass handles and tap to keep the look bright and warm at once.

Brass and Stone in the Details
Up close, the Coolangatta leans on a tight, considered material palette. A brass sink and gooseneck tap sit against the white stone benchtop and a white subway-tile splashback, with a gas cooktop and under-bench oven keeping the galley fully functional. The brushed-brass accents carry through the cabinetry hardware, tying the kitchen back to the rest of the home and giving the minimal white interior a warm, boutique feel.

A Second Loft That Floats Above the Living
The Coolangatta’s defining feature is up top. Above the main sleeping loft, a second loft floats over the living space — an open, light-filled platform that the owners can use as a home office, a guest loft, or a second bedroom as their needs change. A warm timber-lined ceiling and clerestory windows wrap the upper level in light, and the whole double-loft volume makes the 8.4-meter footprint feel far more spacious than its length suggests. It’s exactly the kind of flexible, future-proof thinking that a custom build makes possible.
