French builder La Tiny House designed this tiny house on wheels for a family of four, and the layout solves the biggest challenge of family tiny living: giving everyone their own space. The parents sleep in a loft at one end, while the two kids each get a built-in bunk, separated by a partition, so every person has a private sleeping cubby.
Clever details run throughout. The top of the cabinetry doubles as the final step to the loft, a built-in desk has a dedicated slot for a keyboard, and the bathroom fits a washer. Family THOWs are often 30 feet or longer, but this one stays compact enough to tow easily, with a playful wave-shaped steel skirt along the base.

A Wavy Steel Skirt and Bright Yellow Trim
The exterior pairs natural wood siding with a rust-toned steel skirt cut in a wave along the bottom. Yellow window frames and a yellow door add a cheerful accent.
A Built-In Desk with a Keyboard Slot
Along one wall, open shelving and a built-in desk make a workspace, with a dedicated opening for a keyboard so it stays put without eating up desk space.
A Ladder That Steps Off the Cabinets
The ladder to the parents’ loft lands on the top of the cabinetry, which acts as the last stair step and makes getting in and out of bed much easier.
The ladder also moves between positions. In the side-by-side photo, you can see it tucked against the shelving on the left and set out for climbing on the right.
The Parents’ Loft
The main loft is a clean, open sleeping space in solid wood, with a decorative starburst inlay on the wall and a window at floor level.
Private Bunk Cubbies for the Kids
The kids’ bunks are the standout feature. Each one is built like its own small room, with a window, so each child has a private place to sleep and unwind.
Here’s the view looking out from the bunks.
A Kitchen with Extra Prep Space
The kitchen has a double sink under a large window, a built-in oven, and a countertop that covers the stove to add prep space when the burners aren’t in use.
A Corner Lounge and Dining Nook
Windows on two walls wrap the seating and dining area in light, under a woven pendant lamp.
A Bathroom with Laundry Built In
The bathroom makes room for a washer next to tall open shelving, so laundry doesn’t need its own space elsewhere in the house.
A metal basin sink on a wood counter sits next to the shower.
Compact and Easy to Tow
For a home that sleeps four, the overall footprint stays modest, which keeps it practical to move.

I think I like it, but I am still a little confused about the bunks. For the most part it’s lovely.
I had to look at it about three times before I got it! If you zoom in on the blueprints it gives a better idea of how they’re set up.
Mind, the roof slope is lowest by the entrance, towards the back of the trailer, and highest towards the front. So they basically shoehorned the sleeping spaces towards the highest points of the roof line…
Ladder gets you to a near standing point platform that with a step up leads to a walkway platform… From the exterior, first photo, the upper large window would show you walking past if you were on that walkway and you can see the loft in that shot as well through that window…
Towards the far end is the bunk beds, the lower bunk is right over the end wall of the bathroom where the combo washer/dryer and storage drawers are located. While the upper bunk bed is right above that one and is the highest point of the home, with the loft height set between them… A separate between the loft and the bunk beds provides a step up to reach the upper bunk bed, and incidentally means the upper bunk bed has a little more space than the lower bunk bed.
So, actually 2 bunk beds and a loft… Bunk beds are just large enough to sleep one each and 2 can sleep in the loft, which can work for a family, with 2 kids using the bunk beds…
Clever used of space. Very clever ladder. I can’t tell too much about the overall look of the house, like the living area or bath because of the lack of pictures, but it seems to be a nice tiny house.
What a fabulous Tiny! Aesthetically so pleasing. Sometimes having so much wood is overwhelming but the color of the wood…so light and not yellow-y at all…is easy on the eyes! Add your artwork and personal accents and it would be a very cozy home. The use of space is well thought out and that ladder is so darn clever! The bunk bed areas are cleverly designed and I agree that it is nice that they provide the feeling of separate rooms. It is very small, for sure, and might not be ideal if you were going to live in it for many years as your primary residence but either for a short time or maybe add some length to the whole thing but that would be a custom build to suit whatever your needs are and at greater expense. I would have loved seeing more photos but from what I saw, this little place is loaded with charm. Kudos to the designers! Thanks for sharing!
What kind of wood did they use on the interior, I am wondering. Any way to let us know?
They typically use either Spruce or Popular for their interiors…
