Yes, but tiny houses are far more compact with built furniture. The space is layered not spread out as in your design.
Built in furniture and stacked living is only good on a boat or in an RV. A change of the outside scenery can balance even the inside layout that can’t be changed.
I like it. Perhaps pocket doors where feasible would enable more floor/wall space to be used.
Really nice @sherpa. I like the house.
Some quick comments on the house plan at first glance: . Try pocket doors instead of swing doors. If you have a bedside table in the Master, there is no place for the door to be ‘stored’ when open. The doors to the two small bedrooms appear to be 2’ wide? That’s too tiny! Again, when possible, a larger pocket door would help. It is really tough to make a large bed pushed fully against the wall – or use the bathroom in the middle of the night if necessary (speaking from experience unfortunately). More windows would go a long way in such a small house. Not as energy efficient, but opens the space considerably. Tall ceilings would also help make the spaces feel larger. I assume the TV is on the bedroom wall? That won’t really work (well) for viewing from the sofa. Is there any way to have dining chairs across from each other rather than all in a row? Island row seating is fine on a temporary basis, but doesn’t work well when you want to have a conversation with your guest (or housemate).Perhaps a different island/table design that allows for expansion, and different seating arrangement.
A tiny house would make a fine get-away, but I personally would feel cramped on a full time basis. Granted our predecessors lived in such small houses, but they had far less “stuff”, often a barn or other outside storage structure, and were even physically smaller.
I visited a tiny house display nearby, where the owners were sharing their homes. One young single mother explained she planned to live in hers forever. She had a young toddler. I was really curious how that will work as he becomes a teen!
@BunsenBurner You have no idea how some people think. I think using built-in furniture is like putting puzzles together whenever you use it. Fun!
I agree. I used to re-arrange my furniture regularly but have found the optimal locations for the pieces we have. Permanent built ins would be fine, especially in a small space.
Igloo, you have no idea how some people think. B-) The point is not about rearranging the furniture. The point is about having the freedom to be able to get rid of it and/or replace.
Nice house @sherpa! I agree with the others about adding more windows on the opposite walls in the bedrooms, lofting the beds in the kids bedrooms, (also using a platform bed in the parents room that has drawers under it), using pocket doors (or those barn slider doors). If you get rid of the door between the master and the bathroom, in the master where the door was I’d put open shelving. I think you can get a lot more storage that way than with a dresser.
It looks like only 2’9" between the island and the cabinets.
Is that enough room to open the oven or dishwasher? That seems very tight.
My sincere thanks go out to everyone who has commented on the drawings. These are just preliminary plans and I’m not yet sure if I’ll be pursuing this. If I do, I’ll get very serious about all the details.
Specifically, I agree that the windows need attention and that pocket and/or barn doors would make it feel more spacious.
