Daniel and Alejandra live in the Orlando Lakefront Tiny House Community in Florida in their own DIY tiny house, “Skylight.” The name comes from the two giant 8-foot skylights that occupy more than half of the roof. Allowing ample natural light makes the space brighter and creates a sense of greater space.
Daniel built the house on a trailer from an old RV, sourced the skylights on Marketplace, and reclaimed the spiral staircase from a pontoon boat. The home has an incredible kitchen and gorgeous closet storage in the bathroom. You’ll notice the color scheme is white and beige, which intentionally keeps the space extra open. What do you think of this couple’s custom tiny home?

The house has two lofts, one designed for a king-sized bed, and the other for a twin bed or low couch. There’s also a 4×8 walk-in closet at the end of the house with a separate exit, which could house a small bed of some kind, if you wanted a first-floor sleeping area.

The Vista is a tiny house design from the Netherlands featuring a studio-style layout with no lofts and a large wall of windows. At 13’x23′ (4m x 7m), the house is 299 square feet and includes a separate bathroom with a spacious walk-in shower, as well as a galley kitchen with an induction cooktop, sink, mini-fridge, and dishwasher.
The double bed occupies most of the main space, but there’s a separate couch and a dining table for two near the kitchen. This particular unit was delivered by crane into an urban backyard in the Netherlands—an impressive placement solution for tight city lots.

After traveling the world with nothing but a backpack, living tiny was nothing new to Gemma. But building a tiny house from the trailer up? Well, that was a new challenge, but one she met gladly with the help of her dad.
She has a whole off-grid setup, including solar panels, a rainwater catchment system, and a composting toilet. Recycled materials, such as donated insulation, helped keep costs down, and she chose to use MDF instead of plywood to save money. You’re going to love the tour of this creative space!

There aren’t many professionally built tiny houses on the market today for under $25,000, making it tough for many people to get a tiny house unless they can DIY one. But Dragon Tiny Homes recently released their “Element” model, and for a limited time, you can purchase the 16-foot tiny home for just $23,500.
The house doesn’t come with many bells and whistles at the base price, but you can pay for upgrades or make your own over time. Plywood walls are easy to paint, it’s plumbed with a sink, toilet, and shower stall, and this one even has hook-ups for laundry. A loft bedroom with a sturdy ladder provides a sleeping space, and there’s a small area for a love seat or recliner on the main level. What do you think of this option?
