Most park models ask you to make one big compromise: you get the extra width, but you give up the charm. The Daphne, built by Teacup Tiny Homes in Calgary, Alberta, is a 378-square-foot park model that refuses the trade. It is 36 feet long and 10 feet 6 inches wide, which is two full feet wider than a road-legal tiny house on wheels — and every inch of that extra width goes somewhere you can feel it.
What makes the Daphne worth studying is the layout. There is no loft, and there was never meant to be one. Instead of stacking a sleeping platform under the roof, Teacup ran the volume upward into a vaulted ceiling with clerestory windows, then put a real, stand-up, walk-around bedroom at the far end of the home. It sleeps two comfortably, with room for two more, and you never climb a ladder to get to bed.

Scandinavian cabin design has a unique ability to feel both minimal and warm at the same time. This modern vacation rental in Nova Scotia, Canada demonstrates the style beautifully. The exterior is clad in black metal, while the interior features white walls, light wood tones, and black accents throughout.
This cabin offers both a bright first-floor bedroom and a moody sleeping loft with black walls and a skylight for stargazing. The main living area looks out over South Cove through a wall of windows, and there’s a private porch with a hot tub. A compact kitchenette allows for simple meal prep, and the bathroom includes a walk-in shower. The cabin is part of a three-unit property called The Water Lofts, with decks connecting the structures.

Do you remember the Stella Ruby we showed off last week? Here’s another iteration of Teacup Tiny Home‘s popular Ruby layout, the Gaia. This THOW was built for a couple in New Brunswick, Canada, and despite the white shiplap interior, it’s filled with bold color! The customer chose stunning hunter green for all the cabinets in the home, giving the space a cozy, natural feel.
The exterior siding is a deep charcoal, complemented by a bright yellow door! Tons of windows with muntins give the space a classic feel. The home has two lofts on either end, and the main loft can be completely private from the rest of the house, with a sliding door at the bottom of the back staircase leading up to the room. What do you think of this design?

Nora’s Nook is a modern take on a saltbox-style home, with breathtaking windows that look out into the mountains beyond. It has nine giant windows on the front and more on the sides to allow natural light to flood into the bright space. The second floor is an open loft with a bedroom, office, and sitting area.
There’s another bedroom on the first floor and two luxurious bathrooms. One bathroom has a soaking tub, while the other is completely tiled and has a walk-in shower stall. The cabin sits on one of the islands of Saint-Pierre and Miquelon off the coast of Canada in Newfoundland and Labrador.

You’ll want to bookmark this one for later. In this post, we’re sharing two in-depth videos from Drew of Drew Builds Stuff, documenting his DIY tiny house build from a bare trailer to a fully enclosed shell.
The build isn’t finished just yet—Drew still has the bathroom and kitchen to complete at the end of Part Two—but the videos are calm, detailed, and genuinely inspiring. He walks through each step of the process in a way that’s easy to follow and satisfying to watch.
In the first video, Drew completes the entire exterior build, including framing, roofing, window installation, and more. Part Two shifts inside, where he focuses on insulation, finishes, and interior progress (excluding the kitchen and bathroom). We’ll update this post as new parts are released, but for now, it’s a great look at what it really takes to build your own tiny house on wheels.
Update: We’ve added the remaining videos, including the bathroom, bedroom, and final finishing stages of the build.

This Charme model by Minimaliste was displayed this weekend at the Tiny Home Show in Ottawa! The 360 square foot home has three bedrooms — two lofts and one first-floor bedroom, private from the rest of the house.
The interior is a creamy white, with dark wood accents that make it feel modern yet inviting. The galley kitchen has all the necessary appliances (even a drawer dishwasher!), and there’s enough space in the living room for a proper couch. What I love most about this design is how much storage it includes! What do you like most about this home?
