This steel-frame tiny house in Palmetto, Florida was built in 2017 and features all kinds of luxuries, including a rock-climbing wall on the back of the THOW!
The home is 28.5 feet long with two lofts: one (the master) has a lower platform so you can stand upright and get dressed — a very nice feature that’s often overlooked in tiny house loft design.
The kitchen has a deep farmhouse sink and a large refrigerator, and the bathroom features a full-sized walk-in shower. This craftsman-style build demonstrates what’s achievable when quality materials meet smart tiny house design.

They had me at giant fridge. LOL.
Haha right? I like grocery shopping as little as possible.
Awesome! And a bedroom loft that you can stand in! Swoon. They put a lot of goodies in this one. That closet is great. I bet it smells wonderful too. The fridge, sweet! I don’t have use for a climbing wall but the grand kids might like it if you can tare them away from their cell phones.
