I like this one alot. Nice bedroom area that you can stand in and the kitchen is super cool. I can see having a deck right outside of that and serving right from the kitchen.
Though this Tiny House is livable with all the right things in the right places, I have to say that, for me personally, I find it a bit awkward. The main thing that I saw a problem with is how everything around the perimeter is elevated. The door is elevated. The sofa is elevated. The ladder to the loft is elevated. I know that many times this is how builders deal with running plumbing or electrical, or the elevated bits are hiding the wheel wells so I can understand about that being an easy solution but I am especially concerned about is that elevated door, requiring you to step down as you enter. I know that many people wouldn’t see it as a problem but what about people in wheel chairs or other mobility issues, or the elderly who could easily trip and fall because of it. It’s not a horrendous problem but it makes me feel uncomfortable about it even just looking at it. Perhaps in actually walking through the house that feeling might not be as bad so I’m not totally against it but I just find it concerning. I’d rather have a regular couch and not the elevated built-in. Again, it just looks awkward to me personally. Others won’t mind at all, I’m sure. Don’t elevate the refrigerator, either, please. Give me a regular sized, tall, rest on the floor fridge so I have a lot of room so I don’t have to go shopping very often. A regular fridge is easier to replace as it ages, too. RV style refrigerators are more expensive and are more of a bother to replace. And perhaps the designer wanted to add a unique feature with the corner angle in the bedroom but to me that represents a loss of floor space. And, lastly, there are just too many different finishes on the exterior. It’s just too busy and as it weathers, refreshing it would be more of an effort if there were only a couple different finishes. If that plant wall is removable so it can go out of the way while you paint the exterior, I am ok with that, sort of. Again, all of that is based solely on personal preference and many others will love everything I have suggested changing. And that’s just fine, too. It may not be a favorite Tiny but it is definitely something that could make a nice home.
“The sofa is elevated.”
Note, the sofa shown has no feet or base. It’s mounted to the raised floor, which means it’s not elevated and would thus be used normally.
While, the floor plan photo doesn’t show that raised floor under the sofa, just the raised entrance door. The whole thing is also just a CG model rendering. So it could just be a rendering issue, also may have just been simpler to hide the front feet of the sofa than show the rear cut off as is often the case with a sofa over the wheel wells, and side from dealing with the wheel wells, there isn’t a reason for the whole perimeter to be raised. Meaning it should only be where the living room intersects the wheel wells and rest was just not to deal with too many details in a rendering.
I just hope that, because it is merely a rendering, the designers will at least consider what potential customers have to say. And whatever changes I mention are suggestions and are only my personal point of view…things I would take into consideration when thinking of buying something. All comments should be paid attention to and at least taken as food for thought.
Of course, but context should not be ignored to avoid misunderstandings. For example, custom builders, by definition, always take into considerations their client’s concerns but also that not everything shown are going to apply to all client’s or will be exactly as shown because that is not what a custom builds represents.
Changes are actually encouraged by custom builders as it is suppose to be tailored to the specific client. Their FAQ even states that their client’s, “Tiny Home is 100% custom built, made to your exact specifications”…
So it’s always open to discussion…
