    I like the style of the THOW but not the black roof and walls. They aren’t suitable for FL.
    The whole house could beshorter and great for travel when there is no loft, no downstairs bedroom but a couch and not a bench across driving direction and a lift up to the ceiling bed above.
    I don’t need a tub but a spacious shower. Another length cutting change.
    The sitting side by side for dining isn’t my thing either. I’d prefer a fold down table, sitting facing each other.
    Finally, awnings on both sides for shade, outdoor living and parking should be added.

      Hi Michael!
      Really appreciate your thoughtful feedback. You brought up some excellent points. You’re right that the dark exterior wouldn’t be ideal for Florida heat, and your ideas for a shorter layout, a lift-up bed, and a roomier shower are smart customizations for anyone who wants a more travel-friendly design. I also love your note about dining setup since facing each other always feels more natural.

      Awnings on both sides would definitely make outdoor living more comfortable, especially in sunny climates. Thanks so much for sharing your perspective and design ideas!

    Gorgeous, very livable. Like the comment above, I would require a shower, though for those that prefer a tub, that’s a beautiful tub! I also agree that black would not be a good choice for Florida, but otherwise, it looks great! And it appears to be very livable, with adequate storage for everything needed.

      Hi Nancy!
      Thanks so much for taking the time to share your thoughts. I’m glad you found the Sangja livable and beautifully designed. That tub is a real showpiece, even if a shower is more practical for many! And you’re right, the black exterior wouldn’t be the best choice in places like Florida, but it sure creates a striking modern look.

      Hope you’re doing well, appreciate your insights, and thanks for being part of the Tiny House Talk community!
