Approaching the Z Huis tiny house you will notice a free standing deck that allows access to the above-wheel-well patio entry door. As you cross the threshold into the home, one comfortable step down provides a cozy sense of arrival. Directly ahead, the Kaidan Dansu stair system pulls your eye upward and to the right, where a large primary loft beckons your arrival. Beneath the main loft is a galley style kitchen with a gas range, large sink, washer/dryer unit, refrigerator, ample countertops, and pantry storage options.
As you pass through the kitchen, you will notice a tile shower on the left and a water closet on the right. Between the shower and water closet is the control center for the solar PV system, allowing the system to be monitored from within the home.
On the opposite end of the home is the Zen Den, where you and friends can watch a flick, read books, or get zenned out. The partial wall separating this area from the entry provides privacy and a distinct feeling of spatial transition from the rest of the home. Above the Zen Den is the office and/or guest sleeping quarters. A hidden desk in the floor frame pops up for easy use when needed. Otherwise, a flat surface provides your guests with their own space to spread out. Access to this loft is provided by a quick ascent on a climbing wall, which of course could be replaced with a ladder if preferred.
