The Adirondack tiny house on wheels by Cubist Engineering proves that even a 12-foot space can deliver both comfort and clever design innovation.
Inside this compact dwelling, you’ll find a wood burning stove for cozy warmth and a remarkable “secret bed” that’s hidden in the floor. When not in use, the sleeping area disappears completely, giving you full use of the living space during the day.

This is how Nancy Park built her tiny house on nights and weekends over the course of four years while working full time.
You may remember our original post about her titled, “69 Year Old Single Woman Builds Tiny Home in 4 Years on Nights and Weekends While Working Full Time,” where you can see her completed ‘High Desert Tiny House‘ and even book it for your next vacation!
In this post, she’s going to tell the story of how she built it (starting with the trailer!).
Mark singlehandedly built this DIY tiny house on a tight budget, and used mostly reclaimed and secondhand materials to furnish the interior.
The entire home cost $30K CAD (~$24K USD) to build, and that includes the cost of a new custom trailer, new lumber, and the rent he paid for a building space.
He and his girlfriend lived in the tiny home for a year and a half in Stouffville, Ontario (near Toronto) at an RV park where they legally parked their tiny house year round and spent approximately $300/month on rent and $100/month on utilities.
