The NestHouse is a 269 sq ft (25 square meters) tiny home built by Jonathan Avery of Tiny House Scotland. Though it resembles a tiny house on wheels, it’s actually built on a foundation, allowing for a wider footprint than typical THOWs.
This thoughtfully designed small home features a sleeping loft accessed by a proper staircase, a cozy living area with a wood-burning fireplace, furniture on wheels for flexibility, and abundant windows that flood the interior with natural light.
