This 20-ft-long tiny house is more practical than you might expect

This tiny house, called the Espresso, uses clever design to fit a lot into a small space. It can comfortably sleep two people and even has room for guests.

Smart Design in a Small Package

Modern Tiny Living designed the Espresso. It's only 20 feet (6 meters) long, which is quite small for a tiny house in North America. It's built on a double-axle trailer with engineered wood siding and a steel roof. There's also a small box outside for things like propane tanks.

The glass front door opens right into the living room. This room has a sofa bed for guests, a storage unit, and a table. While it might be too small for big family meals, it works well for dining or as a workspace. High ceilings and large windows make the room feel bright and open.

Next to the living room is the kitchen. It's simple but functional, with a granite sink, a two-burner propane stove, a small fridge, and a microwave. It also features butcher block countertops and plenty of cabinets. A custom bookcase on rails slides open to reveal a hidden storage area.

A sliding barn door from the kitchen leads to the bathroom. It's compact, as expected, and includes a flushing toilet, shelves, and a walk-in shower.

The Espresso has one main bedroom, which is reached by a staircase with built-in storage. These types of stairs are common in tiny houses because they save so much space. The bedroom is a typical loft, with a low ceiling, enough room for a double bed, and some storage.

The exact price for the Espresso model shown isn't available. However, the Mohican line, which it's based on, starts at US$99,000. For more details, you can contact Modern Tiny Living directly.
