    This tiny home seems completely liveable. No climbing ladders, no catwalks, no bedrooms where you can't stand up or walk around your bed. There is storage for the car! This home takes into consideration aging in place. Very well designed, and I think it is just 600 sq ft.

    This is a brilliant, though not necessarily tiny, home. Still one person's tiny might be another persons potting shed so, yeah. Regardless, it is a smart use of the land, the containers and layout. Raising it up high was inspired and a smart way to cheat some space for 'garaging' the car or whatever. Depending on the resource act, I imagine you'd be able to box it in if you wanted to do so. Maybe to give another space for another spare bed and third office. (wink)
