The exterior of the home is simple but modern with a farmhouse look. You will appreciate the space-saving style of the door is on the end of the home.

Once you step through the door, everything is at a glance in front of you. To the left are stairs leading up to the loft. On your right is a bench seat with storage beneath. In the back, you have the bathroom with a loft above. And, of course, in the center, you have a kitchenette space.

This is the best view we have of the loft space. It is above the bathroom, and open to the rest of the home. Not overly large, but comfortable with a window on one side and recessed lighting above.

This is only 16′ long, so fitting everything in place isn’t as easy as some models. Rather than a large living space, you have this bench with cushions. Open storage beneath this is ideal for books, movies, clothes, or household supplies.

You could easily replace this with a futon if you prefer, but do take note of space being limited. This is a tiny home that is ideal for a single individual or a couple. It’s not set up for a family or for regular entertaining.

To the left, the stairs leading up to the loft sleeping area are also storage drawers and cabinets. Plus, this is where a mini refrigerator is stored alongside a microwave.

Beside the sofa, and across from the stairs, you have the basic kitchen counter. Here you have a sink in the middle with drawers on both sides above three large cabinets with shelves.

There is no stove here, but you can use any countertop appliance or hot plate. For one person, that should be sufficient for preparing meals on a regular basis.

Between the sofa and the sink, there is an opening that sits between windows and is ideal for these floating shelves. They are great for storing items when not in use but remember if you are traveling, anything here would need to be removed or secured for safety.

At the back, below the loft, the bathroom is a modern space with a corner shower inset and traditional vanity with bowl style sink and old-fashioned pump style faucet.

A traditional flush toilet is against the other side of the bathroom and floating shelves above it provide plenty of room for storing your linens and toiletries.
