Called Alpha, this tiny house on wheels is designed to take advantage of its surroundings with a fold down deck and expansive windows. It also features a number of smart storage solutions and flexible living spaces that make living in a tiny house more feasible.
Alpha is the latest design from Nashville based tiny house company, New Frontier Tiny Homes. Like its predecessors, the finish is a mix of rustic and modern.
The luxurious tiny home contains a total of 240 square feet (22 square meters) of usable space. The exterior has been clad with cedar siding; some of which has treated with the shou sugi ban method – the charring of wood to protect it from the weather, pests and fire.
The central portion of the Alpha has two large floor to ceiling windows. One of them is a set of patio doors, the other is a large rolling garage door. When raised, the garage door opening leads out to a small fold-down deck. With both windows “open” plenty of fresh air is allow to pass through the home, keeping it cool and well ventilated.
The interior is largely divided up into 4 main rooms: the raised kitchen, the central living area, the bathroom (found to the back), and the loft bedroom. The kitchen is one of largest I’ve seen in a tiny house featuring a 33-inch farmhouse apron sink, a dishwasher, full-size refrigerator, and a 5-burner induction cooktop.
The central living area is a multi-functional space that can be used as a living room, or, thanks to some clever hide-away items found under the raised kitchen, as a dining room. The steps and adjacent storage boxes can be pulled out to create a “pop-up” dining table capable of seating 8 people.
The bathroom, like the other rooms in the Alpha, is relatively spacious. It has an all-in-one washing machine, shower/bathtub, sink and a composting toilet. The loft can be found above the bathroom and is a cozy little sleeping nook with a king-size bed that’s accessed by a ladder (which you can stash under the kitchen). Pricing for the Alpha starts at $79,000 USD and goes up to $95,000.

Absolutely beautiful ! One suggestion though the refrigerator covers the top window in kitchen. This is a design flaw, move the window over to accommodate fridge or design for an under counter fridge which would be less intrusive.
I’ve seen this on youtube. Just gorgeous. If it had stairs it would be even better.
