The owners of this new tiny home commissioned it so they’d have a comfortable and safe place for their older relatives to stay when they came to visit. As such, the tiny house by Build Tiny in New Zealand has no loft, and everything is easily accessible.

The interior design is studio-style, with a bed on one end and the kitchen/eating area on the other. Behind the door inside, you’ll find the compact bathroom. Everything you need for guests!

VIDEO: The Tadpole Tiny House

Description:

Our creative clients have been entertaining guests at their property for many years. They have an adorable single room ‘shepherds hutt’ called the frog, used for accommodating friends and family. When it came to providing their aging guests with a greater level of comfort and amenities, they decided a tiny house on wheels would be perfect, and of course they named it the Tadpole! A keen classic car enthusiast, our client wanted to build a multi-purpose trailer for the tiny house so that it could be used to both transport the tiny house to various sites on the rural property, and also to be used as a car transporter – so they worked with our trailer engineers to come up with a very unique trailer design, a world first tiny house/car transporter trailer. As for the design of the Tadpole, it’s main goal was to be user friendly for guests of all ages, and to provide a blank canvas for the clients to fill it with a similar charm and character as the frog. We hope the lucky guests of the Tadpole enjoy their stay’s year after year.
