This Charming 39-foot Tiny With Generous Dining Options Is Supremely Spacious

Why is everyone in the tiny house global community crazy about the New Zealand-designed homes on wheels? It's their signature style, which quickly became a source of inspiration for tiny house lovers all over the world. Its main quality is an incredible outdoor-indoor flow that connects home dwellers with their natural surroundings while making the interior seem even bigger.

The Kiwi tiny, designed by Ruru Tiny Homes, opens up to its surroundings in wonderful ways. Forget what you thought you knew about single-level small dwellings because The Kiwi is nothing like that. There are no restrictions, no cramped spaces, no awkward design solutions. This luxurious abode is all about uninterrupted flow, maximum comfort, and an unobstructed connection to nature.

What you'll instantly notice about this home is how many doors it has. Instead of incorporating multiple windows of various shapes and sizes, The Kiwi goes straight for wide glass doors that effectively blur the line between the inside and the outside. Two French doors lead into the dining room and lounge area; another door ensures private access for the home's main bedroom; lastly, The Kiwi boasts a ranchslider at one of its ends, which turns the lounge itself into an indoor/outdoor entertainment space.

The ranchslider, a glass sliding door where a single panel slides the same way behind a fixed panel, is considered "a Kiwi classic." It's one of the key features that turn homes such as this one into wonderful modern sanctuaries filled with natural light. This goes beyond the traditional concept of panoramic views – inside The Kiwi, you feel as though you're right in the middle of nature, yet protected against the elements and pampered with all the luxuries of a contemporary lifestyle.

In addition to the signature design, this Ruru model reveals an open-plan layout with many surprises. The Kiwi takes full advantage of its above-average length (12 meters/39 feet) to create comfortable living areas that feel almost sumptuous. If you add the fact that the ceiling height goes up 2,700 mm (8.8 feet), you'll understand why this interior feels so wonderfully spacious, airy, and bright.

One generous section of the house is dedicated to the lounge. As mentioned, the unusual structure with an extra sliding door turns this entire area into a luminous entertainment room that opens to the outdoors. There's ample space for a traditional living room setup and enough flexibility for many other potential uses. Due to the home's considerable length, the lounge doesn't lead straight into the kitchen.

At its heart, The Kiwi reveals one of its special surprises – a large area for formal dining. Dedicated dining options are often the first to be sacrificed when it comes to small dwellings, but not in this case. The Kiwi offers more than one setup for enjoying family meals.

This central section is big enough for a traditional dining table with elegant matching seats – no need for folding chairs or tiny hidden tables. It's also a great option for entertaining guests or having multiple friends over for dinner, something that's rarely possible with standard tiny homes.

A second dining option comes in the form of an adorable breakfast nook, nestled between two walls and facing the galley-style kitchen. It's basically a simple wooden board with a matching bar stool, but its location makes it a convenient and comfortable option for a quick meal, especially in the morning. It's a clever way of using the space that's available in the kitchen and one that feels totally natural and effortless.

The kitchen itself boasts a wide wooden countertop (customers can choose between acacia and bamboo) that incorporates all the basic appliances (a four-burner gas stove, a built-in electric oven, and a full-size dishwasher). Overhead cupboards and closets provide enough storage so that the opposite wall can be used only to incorporate the tiny breakfast bar.

While The Kiwi is designed for maximum transparency and an indoor/outdoor flow, it does hide a private sanctuary, and that's the main bedroom. This beautiful room isn't very big but large enough to fit in a two-person bed with ample walk-around space. It also includes a dedicated section for the wardrobe.

Best of all, the bed faces a large glass door for gorgeous views at all times and a private connection to the outdoors. At the same time, the bedroom's strategic placement ensures enough privacy and tranquility for restful sleep.

The Kiwi's bathroom exudes a spa-like atmosphere due to its clean, minimalistic aesthetics with natural wood accents and premium appliances. The full-size shower cabin and large vertical window also create a feeling of comfortable, unrestricted spaciousness. Ruru Tiny Homes offers multiple options for the toilet, both conventional and eco-friendly. Plus, it relies mostly on locally sourced materials when it comes to the overall build, which makes The Kiwi a sustainable housing solution.

All in all, this gorgeous single-level tiny house boasts 36 square meters (387.5 square feet) and feels even bigger than that, thanks to its unique layout. Pricing starts at NZD183,000 ($112,000) with multiple customization options. With its clever dining options and airy open-plan configuration, The Kiwi proves that luxurious comfort and a strong connection to nature can coexist.
