This is an incredible 26-ft. expanding tiny house with slide-outs by Zerosquared Tiny Homes located on Vancouver Island. It’s a tiny house that you can book and stay at via Island Life Expeditions!
In this post, you’ll get to tour and learn more about this awesome tiny house that expands all the way to more than 340-sq.-ft. of living space (yet it can still be towed legally on the highway once the slide-outs are put back in) thanks to Exploring Alternatives. This home is currently used as a tourism operation and it features a murphy bed, combo washer dryer, large kitchen, lots of storage, a 3-person couch, and more.
Marc & Jen (and their cat, Starla) from Box Truck Tessa are an adventurous couple who decided to sell their home, downsize their stuff, and try something new.
They wanted to re-design their lives according to what was most important to them: skiing, hiking, traveling, making music, and being self-employed. So they decided that a box truck would be the best way to accomplish that.
This cozy and colourful school bus conversion was built by Aaron and Lena from Roadside Tales. They wanted a home on wheels that would allow them to explore and adventure with all the comforts of home wherever they parked it.

This custom tiny house was designed built by Summit Tiny Homes for Liza (pronounced Lisa).
She was looking for an affordable cottage to enjoy with her two daughters in the short term, and for a home she could relax and retire in later on. She called it The Magnolia after her mom’s favourite tree.
This is the story of a couple who built their very own off-grid island. They’ve been living there for over 27 years now, and have added on quite a bit to it. It’s called Freedom Cove in Tofino, BC.
It all started with a tiny floating cabin they built with driftwood that washed ashore after a storm. And since 1992, they have been living in it and adding on to it. Pretty incredible, isn’t it? Please enjoy the video below from Exploring Alternatives for the full story.
Measuring just 20 feet long, the Mica cabin by Cabinscape has a surprising amount of comfort and convenience.
We went to film a full tour of Mica cabin this summer and the first thing we fell in love with was the double bed on the main floor. How nice is it to have an option to sleep on the main level (next to the bathroom!) without having to climb up and down a ladder? Unless you want a bit more privacy, or to have guests, in which case there is a second bed in the loft. The ladder is attached to the wall in a bunkbed style and there is an extra handle on the wall to make it easier to get up and down.
Marie France Roy is a professional snowboarder from Canada who cares deeply about the environment so she decided to experiment with building a tiny home using natural and reclaimed materials. The result is a spectacular organic-shaped cabin that she’s been living in for 4 years now.
It’s two-stories and measures approximately 400 square feet. The main floor is built with a wood frame and cob walls made of sand, clay, and straw. The second floor is built with reclaimed wood.
This is the story of Toronto’s first shipping container home thanks to Mat and Danielle of the Exploring Alternatives YouTube Channel. It’s the story about a family who designed and built a shipping container home above their restaurant, which they already owned.
It’s called the Black Star and it’s designed and built by a couple named Carl and Ana. They used three reclaimed containers to form one half of the house, while the other half is built conventionally. What do you think?
