This classic 20′ Craftsman tiny home has been featured by Tiny House Expedition, House Method magazine, on the cover of Tiny House Magazine, and the local news (twice). Custom designed and built by a North Carolina couple in 2015, Callie Brauel & Nathan Huening, it features everything you need for 2 adults to live comfortably in a compact footprint: plenty of storage, two lofts, a custom transforming sofa with diner seating, custom (dog-friendly) half-spiral staircase, stacked washer/dryer, coat closet, linen closet, radiant floor heat, drawer dishwasher, and 4-burner gas range. Callie & Nathan each have their own separate clothes closets with hanging rods for the occasional times they have to dress like grownups. The 2nd loft has variously been repurposed as a work-from-home office, guest/child’s bed, and study nook. Together with a covered deck and screened-in porch, they’ve been living tiny nearly sacrifice-free full-time since 2016.

Delightful finishes like stained glass, aromatic cedar trim and shelves, all stainless steel appliances, concrete countertops, architectural black pipe brackets, and matching teal cushions and dishware create a sense of understated luxury in 270 SF. This house is ideal for either permanent or temporary living, can accommodate a couple with small children, is well-suited to dogs, and offers a layout flexible enough to adapt to changing needs.

On top of all that, it is simple to build.

About the Designers

Inspired by Jay Schafer and his original Tumbleweed, Callie & Nathan built their first tiny house themselves from custom plans over 18 months starting in 2015. They’ve been living full-time in this 8.5′ × 20′ home for 6 years, have moved it twice, and in 2018 purchased a 30 acre nature preserve in the lovely North Carolina Piedmont to found a permanent tiny house residential community called Cranmore Meadows so other folks could live tiny safely and legally. Phase 1 was completed in October 2021 featuring 7 lots and Phase 2 will be complete in spring 2023 with 6 more. Since then, they constructed a 2000SF on-site warehouse with 14′ roll-up door and have built 2 more tiny homes.
