Not all tiny houses feel tiny inside. A case in point is the Florence, which packs an impressive amount into its relatively compact frame. Despite measuring just 355 sq ft (33 sq m), it includes a spacious living area, a full-size kitchen, a downstairs bedroom, and even a home office.

Designed by Teacup Tiny Homes, the Florence is based on a triple-axle trailer and has a length of 36 ft (11 m), with a width of 8.5 ft (2.6 m), making it suitable to tow on a public road. Its exterior is clad in metal and wood-effect vinyl, with a metal roof.

The interior of the home is finished in white tongue-and-groove paneling and looks bright and airy thanks to its generous glazing and high ceilings. It's arranged around a large open living area. The living room is situated next to the entrance and contains a sofa and an electric fireplace, with space for a TV to be installed. There's also a large storage unit next to the entrance.

Nearby is a useful dining/home office space with an extending desk area. It also has some integrated storage. The kitchen is adjacent. Arranged galley style with cabinetry on each wall, it includes a large sink, an oven, and a four-burner propane-powered stove, a microwave, and a fridge/freezer. There's yet more storage here, including a large wardrobe unit.

The Florence's bathroom is reached from the kitchen by a sliding door and contains a flushing toilet, a glass-enclosed shower, and a vanity sink.

There are two bedrooms in this model. The master bedroom is next to the living room. The room is arranged around a double bed and has lots of storage space. Thanks to its downstairs location, there's plenty of headroom to stand upright and to move around the bed, which is always a nice bonus in a tiny house.

The secondary bedroom is positioned in the loft over the kitchen/bathroom and is accessed by a removable wooden ladder. This room is much smaller but has space for a double bed.

The Florence is up for sale from CAD 172,000 (US$122,000). It has lots of options available, including a bath instead of a shower, choice of furnishing and materials, and permanent installation on foundations instead of wheels. Delivery is available throughout the US and Canada, though you'll need to contact the firm for rates.
