Man Living in a Self-Built Ultra Small Tiny House

Noah built this tiny house on wheels 4 years ago and it’s been his home every since! It measures 10′ x 20′ with a total of just 200 square feet of interior living space so it’s quite small, but his open concept design makes the space feel super functional and comfortable! Some other things he did to optimize his micro home include a main floor bedroom so that the ceilings are nice and high (no loft), and he also installed lots of windows and a skylight to bring in loads of natural light.

The tiny house has great storage in the entrance with space for coats and shoes, as well as a wardrobe closet for clothing. There’s a dining nook with two stools next to the single wall kitchen that has a bar fridge, sink, and propane cooktop, as well as lots of storage for his pantry items and dishes. He also has a deep freezer outside for additional food storage.

There’s an L-shaped bench sofa with integrated storage that creates a cozy living room, and a Queen-sized bed with even more storage underneath and a built-in night table. The bathroom has a standard vanity and flush toilet, but the real show stopper is his cedar strip shower that adds a ton of warmth and character to the small washroom.

Noah used standing seam metal on the roof, cedar channel and cedar shake for the siding, and he insulated the tiny house with a mix of rock wool and rigid insulation. To double the size of his living space, he added a big deck to the tiny house that’s actually modular so he can take it apart if he needs to move. And he also integrated an outdoor bathtub into the deck so that he can enjoy a bath with a view.
