Our first model is a 280sq ft house, built on a 20ft trailer. It is a proudly Canadian version of a tiny house, featuring carvings and Aboriginal art. Our roof rafters are curved in the shape of sklelten (Shuswap word for salmon), and the roofline intersects and barrels. We’ve designed it to be used longer-term as a guest house, with an open and spacious feel. You walk in and say “aaaaaahhh I could stay here for a while..!” Both ladders were lots of fun to design, and the spiralling ladder is surprisingly comfortable to use! We have a Youtube channel detailing “how-to’s” for many of the custom features – and how do-able they really are. We’re working on our next design – a more simplified version that will be easier to build, but equally beautiful!

  1. I followed the build on youtube and I have been waiting for the tinyhouseswoon reveal. Ladies and Gentlemen, this is one the most beautifully done and elegant tiny house builds to date. This is the kind of tiny house makes a lot of people seriously considering tiny living.
    Can you imagine coming in from the hike or sking to that bit of heaven?
    For full time living, one could add a longer version to add closet/storage space, a rangehood vent and more shelving for the kitchen

  2. Holy cow that is gorgeous! Love the incorporation of the aboriginal art, it is so subtle but yet obvious, and that roof is a work of art. You have created a work of art! Those stairs are so beautiful and simple. Now the ladder looks cool but I wouldn’t dare use it, to scared i would come crashing down!

  3. This is fabulous. From someone who has a reputation for falling down stairs, these are my favourite in any tiny house I have seen to date from an aesthetic point of view and I believe I might even get up and down on the odd occasion without mishap.

    Job well done.
