This is the Hemlock – it’s a tiny cottage with a 1-car garage by Trafalgar Homes. I thought it could be the perfect tiny home as long as you don’t mind the upstairs bedroom although you could make the living area double as your bedroom with a murphy bed or a sleeper sofa.
The main floor is 364 square feet and there is an additional 415 square feet upstairs. There’s less on the main floor because of the 10 x 19 garage. So what do you think? This is a pretty nice and simple design with a very small footprint.

Paul and Caroline built a 400-square-foot accessory dwelling unit in their Seattle backyard, moved into it, and began renting out their main house. The cottage features a murphy bed that transforms the living room into a bedroom at night, maximizing the usable space during daytime hours. The couple incorporated recycled and reclaimed materials throughout, including repurposed kitchen utensils as cabinet handles and a cheese grater converted into a light fixture.

This is an oversized tiny house with a wraparound porch built right into the unit! It’s called Athens 520. Technically this is a park model home and could easily be considered a mini-mansion on wheels, right?
It’s pretty massive! But could be the perfect solution for some who may be looking to downsize from something much bigger, right? I think so. And there’s nothing wrong with that. This park model could also even be the perfect upgrade in size from a tiny house, travel trailer, an RV, expensive condo-living, and so on. So what do you think? Would you ever consider something like this?
