Storage-packed tiny house minimizes compromises for full-time living

The Coolangatta 8.4 tiny house aims to offer full-time living with minimal compromises. It features a flexible, storage-packed interior. This design works for both on-grid and off-grid living.

The tiny house is 27.5 feet long. It sits on a triple-axle trailer. The exterior uses Colorbond steel, a durable painted steel popular in Australia.

Inside the Coolangatta 8.4

The interior has painted tongue-and-groove-style paneling. Its open layout feels bright and airy due to many windows. These include a large picture window and double glass doors. The living room has an L-shaped sofa.

The kitchen is next to the living area. It has an oven, a two-burner propane stove, a sink, and a fridge/freezer. There is also a breakfast bar for two. A large window opens to the outside, useful for serving food.

The bathroom is at the opposite end of the house. It is spacious for a tiny home. It includes a washer/dryer, a glass shower, a vanity sink, and a toilet. A second door in the bathroom leads directly outside.

Flexible Sleeping and Living Spaces

The Coolangatta 8.4 offers flexible bedroom options. The main bedroom is above the kitchen and bathroom. It is reached by a staircase with built-in storage. This room has a double bed, more storage, and a TV. A lowered platform allows residents to stand upright and get dressed easily.

The second bedroom is above the living room. A removable wooden ladder provides access. Currently, it's set up as a gaming and hangout space with two monitors and seating. It also has a desk where legs can hang over the living room below. This design is more comfortable than sitting cross-legged in a typical loft. This space can also serve as a second bedroom.

The Coolangatta 8.4 can get power from a standard RV hookup or a solar array on the roof. This specific model was a custom build for a customer. Pricing information is not available.
