The Athrú (meaning to change or alter) is a unique tiny house. Like several of our tiny houses (The McG Loft and BRV1), this home has been designed to make a tiny housing a feasible option for someone who may not be able to access a sleeping loft. To create a more accessible home, the bed is concealed under the raised kitchen. Storing the bed in this way has allowed us to maximise the available floor space – it’s a tiny house that works around you and your needs.

Living Room/Bedroom

The living area contains a set of outward-swing French doors that could lead out to a deck/garden space. The plans include details for a custom seating arrangement which includes built-in storage and is attached to the bed frame. Storage/shelving is provided for in the form of a large cabinetry/partition unit and the stairs can also be rolled out to reveal additional storage space.

Kitchen

The kitchen is the largest out of all our tiny houses, featuring a full-size sink, 10 Cu Ft fridge-freezer, 20-inch-wide gas stove, and the option of adding a combo washer/dryer in place of a base cabinet. The kitchen also has extensive storage with numerous wall and the floor cabinets, and we’ve even managed to fit in a breakfast bar that will double as an additional work surface.

Bathroom

The bathroom is accessed through a sliding door which doubles as a shallow closet. The bathroom itself has space enough for a toilet (be it a standard, compost, or incinerating toilet), a 30-inch-square shower and whether you decide to install a small sink or not is up to you!

Other Details

The Athrú tiny house has also been designed with lighting in mind and features several large double glazed windows to provide ample natural lighting. The large windows coupled with the vaulted ceiling (featuring exposed timber rafters), make the tiny house feel much larger than it really is.

Trailer

This tiny house can be built on a 20′ x 8′ flatbed utility trailer.
