This Cheerful Canadian Tiny House Combines Small Footprint With Maximum Mobility

A wide variety of designs and layouts are available, and plenty of builders specialize in creating custom tiny homes, ensuring that anyone who wishes to downsize will get their ideal version of a home on wheels. For those living in Canada, the skilled team at Nelson, British Columbia-based Canadian Tiny Homes is one such builder dedicated to turning people's tiny living dreams into reality.

The company's owners, a father-daughter duo with decades of building and home design experience, strongly believe that each house should reflect its dweller's lifestyle, so all of their tiny homes are fully customizable. With a modern blue exterior and a lively interior that successfully combines shades of white, orange, and natural wood, Aspen is one of the most striking models in this builder's portfolio.

Built on a double-axle trailer, this charming tiny house measures just 24 feet in length, but it compensates for the small footprint with maximum mobility, allowing dwellers to change scenery whenever they want. It's also the perfect size for one individual or a couple looking for a safe, mobile haven that is small but mighty.

Besides offering all the comforts of home within its petite size, it also boasts an eye-catching exterior with sea blue-painted board-and-batten siding, cedar shakes on the upper section, and a standing seam metal roof. The use of a shed-style roof line helps create more vertical space inside so as to include lofts.

Canada is known to experience harsh winters and hot, muggy summers, so the builder designs its homes to withstand a wide range of climate conditions. As such, Aspen comes with spray foam insulation for the walls and ceiling and Rockwool insulation for the floor.

Aspen's interior is as lively and cheerful with its bold color accents as it is functional. It radiates the warmth and comfort of a traditional home, while the pops of orange contribute to creating a vibrant space that feels inviting and energizing.

Canadian Tiny Homes chose an open-plan layout for this model, with the ground floor housing a snug living room seamlessly connected to a beautiful kitchen and a loft bedroom offering comfortable sleeping space for two. There is also a separate bathroom and a secondary loft for storage. As in many tiny homes, less is more inside Aspen, and multifunctional furniture pieces and clever design hacks are paramount to creating a clean, uncluttered living space.

The entrance door opens into the living room, which benefits from multiple large windows that keep this area of the house well-ventilated and flooded with natural light. It is furnished with a comfy sofa and a chic bronze coffee table that adds character to the space. Opposite the sofa, there is a wall-mounted mirror and hooks for hanging coats and bags, an ingenious solution that makes up for the lack of a proper vestibule.

With no formal delineation between areas, the lounge easily transitions into the adjacent kitchen, which is also designed with multifunctionality in mind, as it works double duty as a cooking and dining area. The custom cabinetry offers just enough storage for cooking essentials, while a fold-away island cleverly placed at one end of the kitchen counter can serve as a breakfast bar, dining space, extra counter space, or a workstation.

Though small, the kitchen is equipped with all the necessary appliances that make it fully functional, including a four-burner cooktop, oven, range hood, farmhouse-style sink, and apartment-size refrigerator. It also shares some characteristics with the living area, as it too is very bright courtesy of a large window that invites the outside in.

An orange staircase with integrated storage, including a floor-to-ceiling shelved unit, leads to the upstairs bedroom, which is a typical tiny house loft area with low headroom and just enough space for a double mattress and a nightstand. At one side of the bed, level with the mattress, there is a window looking out into the surroundings, offering occupants beautiful views, while a skylight above the bed allows for stargazing at night.

The bathroom downstairs follows similar design principles as the rest of the house, meaning that the ceiling and walls remain neutral white, while bright touches are added via a custom vanity, a bronze-framed mirror, and some wall art on display here. It comes fitted with all you need for comfort and convenience, including a toilet, a shower, a sink, and space for a washing machine.

With its compact footprint and towable design, the Aspen tiny house on wheels promises a dynamic living experience without compromising on style and convenience, and it is a great source of inspiration for anyone with a minimalistic yet bold sense of style.
