Tiny Home & ADU - Open Living

Built for a family in California wanting a backyard office/guest house - this client had a love of the white-on-white aesthetic, in both modern and farmhouse styles. The finishings in this Tiny are accommodating to the unique tastes of its owner, and customized to their unique specifications. Tru Form Tiny uses the highest quality materials, no formaldehydes, particle board, or high VOCs. Our cabinetry and windows are always custom made for the home.

We offer several solar options. On this build for instance, because the client is in California and their power goes out regularly, they wanted a place to go while waiting for the power to come on. They wanted it to be affordable, so we installed a Goal Zero wired to the homes lighting and refrigerator. For charging phones and small devices, they will plug directly into the Goal Zero, while solar panels regenerate the Goal Zero.

We've named this model the Urban Park Studio. It's 18ft long and 11 ft wide. Currently our clients go through a design process to customize this unit with our in-house designer and CEO, Malia Schultheis. She walks the client through a 3D model of the unit, and applies finishes and customizations (like stairs, kitchen layouts, vanity styles, door placement, etc) to the customers needs. Standard to this model is a folding door, 2 story closet, a 4.5 ft shower or bath, small modern style hickory vanity (country style was installed here), a small kitchen, queen size loft with large storable stair ladder (you can walk down forward facing), and main door awning. Upgrades include tiles, added exterior stairs, added awning, options to lighting, options to flooring, solar packages, and exterior siding options like Shou Sugi Ban and Metal.

There is a beam spanning over the folding door, this is not architectural and was requested by the client. If requested, It's a great place to hang a swing chair. However, the large diagonal beam is structurally engineered to this design. One corner of this model is hipped. This is a particularly beautiful element on this smaller model.

If 18 feet is just a little too small for you, Tru Form Tiny can add length to this model.

Lead times for a custom tiny home range between 4 - 7 months.
