Meet Thuya! She’s the smallest “park model” tiny house that Minimaliste offers, but she’s packed full of great features. Minimaliste considers any of their 10-foot-wide homes park models, since you’ll need a special escort to move them.
This design has a cozy living room area when you first walk in, with a built-in entertainment center. The staircase has a sturdy railing, large steps, and plenty of storage underneath. It takes you to the loft bedroom, which has adequate height to sit upright in bed, and storage all along one wall. Let us know which feature of this custom design you like the most!

Details:
The Thuya is the smallest model in our semi-permanent category. It has a lot of windows, allowing a brightful interior when the house is properly oriented on the land. This model also features our classic shed roof slope, maximizing the feeling of height when you get inside. The materials we can use for the exterior cladding is either a mix of horizontal wood grain imitation steel combined with vertical steel siding or a mix of horizontal cedar with vertical steel siding. All of the trims along with the roofing can either be white, charcoal or black, depending on the customer’s preference.
The interior of the Thuya is compact, but really optimized. The bright living area is combined with a dining area that can sit 4 people comfortably. The couch is located in the bump-out section, oriented towards the rest of the house. A television can be installed on the loft wall if desired. The kitchen includes all the necessary elements for short term stays, but can also be suitable for full time living. The bathroom is at the back of the tiny house, with the loft bedroom located above accessible through a comfortable storage staircase The Thuya can be equipped with a washer and dryer or this space can be used for storage if the W/D option is not included. The standard interior is white painted engineered plywood siding for the walls and stained pine siding for the ceiling.

Minimaliste has forgotten their Canadian customers. Lovely little house, no coat closet. You can’t get through a year here without a few different coats and boots. Maybe it’s just for summer, but not much use as a travel trailer if so. They need to adopt the stand up loft, too. This company is brilliant but this house needs help.
They’re custom builders, every unit is up to the customer. So, it’s not about forgetting or remembering anything. Every customer can just have very different needs and preferences and the unit shown was built for a specific customer… Like the article pointed out, details like the washer/dryer space can be used as a closet if the washer/dryer isn’t needed, and just about every detail can be customized for the specific customer build …
