This Tiny Home Boasts a Unique Floorplan Separated by a Large Covered Porch

Tiny houses are built in all shapes and styles. But one thing that they all have in common, besides their small size, is that they take multi-function spaces to another level. This tiny has a unique design that features a covered porch right in the middle. The porch not only maximizes space but also links two sections of the house, allowing the owner to enjoy the outdoors right from the comfort of his tiny.

This unique dwelling was initially a container used by workers as a breakroom. Then Pim bought it and completely renovated it into a beautiful little home. It took a lot of effort and dedication, but he managed to create something you don’t see that often. His tiny is separated into two different sections by a spacious covered porch. On one side, he has the kitchen, the dining room, and the bedroom, while on the other, he has a nice bathroom.

In between these two spaces is the porch, which essentially blurs the boundaries between the outdoors and the indoors. We’re going to take a look at the first section of Pim’s home since that’s where he spends most of his time.

Pim built a beautiful kitchen that includes everything he needs. This area features plenty of wooden elements that he collected over the years. For example, the cabinets were designed when he was in art school, while the closet in his kitchen was brought from his old apartment. Elsewhere, you’ll see a generous countertop, a large sink, an induction cooktop, and a refrigerator. Plus, there are numerous floating shelves and storage areas as well.

Across the kitchen is the dining area, which has a folding table and two chairs positioned in front of a massive window that lets natural light fill up the place. A few steps ahead is his bedroom, which includes a bed that can comfortably sleep two people. Above it are several cabinets and a floating shelf that he uses to store different items. The bedroom also has a TV with a swivel base that can be viewed from the bed, the kitchen, or the dining area.

I guess that’s one of the advantages of living tiny – you get to enjoy some of the amenities of a regular-sized home without having to move from one room to another since everything is in one place. Next to the bed is another foldable table. This one is smaller and serves as a small workspace.

Although Pim’s house offers only 172 sq ft (16 sq meters) of living space, you’re going to be surprised by the space-saving solutions included everywhere. In fact, he also has a hobby corner in his tiny. That’s where he keeps his digital piano and guitar.

When he’s not playing the piano, he uses the empty area to store other items that really don’t have a place in the house. And if that’s not enough, there’s an attic as well where he can put away what he doesn’t use that often. This way, his house won’t be cluttered with way too many unnecessary things.

The bathroom, as I’ve mentioned before, is separated from the rest of the house. It has a generous shower, a sink, a composting toilet, and a large closet. There’s also a floating shelf as well.

The piece of resistance is the covered porch, which is pretty spacious. He uses this space as an extra living room in the summer. He can place a table and some chairs there and enjoy the outdoors right from the comfort of his home. Pim also uses this area to hang out his clothes to dry. From the porch, he can also admire his garden.

Recently, he offered a full tour to the folks from Alternative House, showing them what this little dwelling is all about. Although it’s not a perfect tiny, it works for him, and it offers him the freedom that he needs.
