This 140-square-foot tiny house on wheels sits on a 20′ x 8′ utility trailer.
It’s designed to be self-sufficient and is the home of Vina Lustado at Sol Haus Design.
She will use portable solar panels and a passive solar heating/cooling approach to go off the grid.
The walls, ceilings, and floors are highly insulated to help with this, and a propane gas fireplace provides additional heating.
Like most tiny homes, this one has an upstairs sleeping loft with a big skylight so you can see the moon and stars before bedtime.
Unlike most skylights in tiny houses, this one can open to let in the breeze. Here, I’ll show you below:

So how tiny is 140 sq. ft.? Great question. Here’s what Vina’s little house looks like next to a 400 sq. ft. home that is made out of 100% reclaimed materials.
For those of you, like me, who have wondered whether you should go tiny or small, here they are side by side.

So let me show you the inside. Vina has done a fantastic job designing and building this little house. I think you’ll find the interior clean, minimalist, attractive, and yet still utilitarian.

As soon as you walk in through the French doors of the home, you are greeted by the couch in the living room. To your right is a beautiful desk/table that faces a large window. Below the desk, there’s some storage space thanks to the pop-out design on the tongue of the trailer.
Tiny House Micro Kitchen
As you can see, the kitchen has plenty of cabinet storage, and of course, you’ve got a small and efficient refrigerator with freezer. Let’s have a look from another angle.

Little Bathroom in a Tiny House

There’s a nice window to let in natural light to the left i., your shower, which looks like one you’d find in a regular home. There’s a bench and storage for all your bathroom goodies.

The shower is 30″ wide with a 6″ bench, so the pan is 24″ x 24″.

You might be asking, “Where the heck is the toilet?”
Well, there’s a composting toilet inside the bench. The hinges are visible if you look close enough. Inside, there’s storage for sawdust, toilet paper, etc. Above you, there’s open shelving for more storage. Very nicely done, wouldn’t you say?
Frosted Window for Privacy (And How to DIY)

The casement window in the bathroom was frosted for privacy, which I like. Wonder how you can do that yourself? Check out this DIY article on how to do just that over at Lifehacker. The video below also explains how to do it step by step, and it’s relatively easy if you’ve ever done any painting or staining before.
