Ultra-Compact Tiny With Smart Styling Is the Ideal Weekend Getaway

Tiny home design has evolved considerably since the early days, which is why we can now enjoy ultra-compact models that don't lack any of the comforts of a contemporary, urban home. This Studio on wheels designed by Forever Tiny Homes is only 24-foot-long (7.3 meters) but flawlessly equipped and elegantly styled. The only major difference between this and a larger model is the absence of a separate bedroom, whether a loft or a ground-floor, enclosed space. This Studio only comes with a flexible lounge area that can house a convertible sofa.

Other than that, the Studio is perfectly fitted for a comfortable lifestyle in every way, starting with the popular minimalist aesthetic and down to the smallest details that can make one's life easier. When talking about smart design, we're focusing on two main aspects – maximizing spaciousness and ensuring a solid foundation that can pass the test of time and withstand harsher conditions.

The Forever Tiny Homes studio scores excellent in both areas. Even from the outside, this model immediately stands out due to the tall, vertical windows with an overall heightening effect. Inside, this visual effect is enhanced even more. Numerous tall windows (up to seven) and high ceilings make this Studio seem much more spacious than you'd think, judging by its length. The neutral color palette with lots of white further amplifies this sense of seamless flow and openness.

The Studio's open-plan space is hit by natural light from both sides for maximum luminosity. The only element acting as a separator between the lounge and the kitchen area is a functional mini-bar with two seats. Small spaces are all about multi-purpose items, and the same goes for this modern bar that is great for both dining and office work. At the same time, it frees up more countertop space. In fact, this is a surprisingly spacious and stylish kitchen for a house this size.

It's easy to feel at home inside this elegant kitchen with impeccable quartz countertops and full-size appliances. Quartz was chosen for its durability and low maintenance compared to the more traditional wooden options. Plus, it looks contemporary and fresh, which matches the overall clean aesthetics.

The big refrigerator, the large sink, and the dual-burner induction stove would be considered high-quality additions to any tiny home, even more so in such a small dwelling. Storage solutions also exceed expectations – you'll find a beautiful set of cabinets and drawers that can effectively keep this kitchen clutter-free, which is a must for any home with minimal floor space.

The lounge area is big enough to fit a convertible sofa for one or two people. During the day, this is an excellent spot to take in the views and relax. Future owners can turn this into a cozy relaxation area that could also double as a larger dining room when needed.

Perhaps the most impressive section of this single-story layout is the bathroom, and that's because it's so well-equipped. This is hardly the type of basic, modest setup you'd expect with a tiny studio. On the contrary, it's elegant and comfortable, boasting a full-size, stand-up shower, a standard toilet, and a dedicated area for a washer/dryer combo. Storage is also excellent, considering the space limitations.

In addition to the excellent amenities, this tiny Studio boasts high-end quality in terms of materials. The fiber cement board siding and the metal roof both ensure optimal durability. Unlike traditional cladding, FCB is non-combustible, weather-resistant, and overall more durable. It's also easier to maintain. From an aesthetic point of view, the smooth texture creates a more modern look, which is in line with the minimalist trend that's still very popular right now.

Metal roofs, on the other hand, are guaranteed to last for at least 30 years. The Studio's builder even added a waterproof membrane known as an ice-and-water shield for an extra protection layer. As for the windows, they don't just look great but are also tempered, which increases their durability, scratch-resistant, and heat-resistant.

Inside, part of the Studio's ultra-modern, clean, and cozy look is owed to the waterproof laminate flooring that mimics the look of naturally aged wood without the downsides. The flooring complements the glossy white quartz countertops and high-quality appliances for a luxurious effect.

Forget rustic, cabin-style mobile studios – this compact tiny home is as modern and cool as it gets. And it's also affordable, with pricing starting at just $53,825. For those who would like to enjoy all the benefits of this design in a residential version, the Cottonwood-based builder also offers a one-bedroom model.
