This Modern Tiny House Surprises With a Unique Layout and Plenty of Practical Features

For many folks in Canada, small living presents a simple solution to both environmental and societal challenges, as downsizing and adopting a more minimalist lifestyle can help them reduce their environmental footprint and live more intentionally. That's why compact dwellings, often no larger than a few hundred square feet, are currently being favored as a sustainable living solution.

The Caspian tiny home on wheels is a great option for those who desire to have a more positive impact on the environment. This mobile dwelling is beautifully put together, featuring an eye-pleasing exterior design, a sturdy structure, and a thoughtful interior layout with great features and lots of storage spaces that make it feel incredibly functional.

It has been designed and crafted by Wild Horse Tiny Homes, a relatively new player in Canada's tiny house market. Based in Bow Island, Alberta, this company is owned and operated by Daryl Esau, a local builder with over 20 years of experience in home construction. With a focus on quality production, the builder specializes in creating custom four-season tiny homes for people across Canada, with the occasional show home to display his craftsmanship.

The Caspian is just that, a turnkey-ready show home that could be someone's entry into the world of tiny living. It is designed for simple living without compromises and showcases the builder's dedication to creating a harmonious blend of style and functionality. With a beautiful kitchen, a snug lounge, a well-appointed bathroom, and two lofts, one for sleeping and the other for storage, this tiny home is suitable for couples who want to downsize.

Built on a triple-axle trailer, this model measures 28 feet in length and 8.5 feet in width, which makes it road-legal for transportation without the need for extra permits. This allows owners plenty of flexibility to relocate and explore new places whenever they need a change of scenery.

Black board-and-batten siding with natural wood trim around the windows and a standing seam metal roof accentuates the home's modern façade. Moreover, the particular roof line with a clerestory roof section in the middle gives it a distinctive, more appealing look.

The interior, on the other hand, is a calm sanctuary that not only embodies the essence of modern living but also redefines the possibilities of compact living. What differentiates this magnificent design from other two-loft tinies is the unique layout that, besides the basic amenities, also incorporates an office nook, a proper dining area, and ample storage space.

Moreover, instead of placing the lofts at either end of the house like in most two-loft tinies, the designer ingeniously put them next to each other for space optimization. The master loft that functions as the main bedroom occupies the space under the raised clerestory roof, which creates more headroom and comfort in the sleeping area. What's more, the horizontal row of windows allow for maximum natural lighting inside.

This comfy sleeping area is spacious enough to accommodate a queen-size mattress and is also fitted with a large L-shaped storage unit with cubicles that can be used for storing clothes, books, and other miscellaneous items.

This loft is accessed via a cleverly designed staircase/ladder that combines functionality with space-saving solutions. It features a sizeable cupboard under the stair landing and shelves on the underside of the stairs, providing ample space to store your stuff and helping you maintain a clutter-free living environment.

Right next to the stairs is the small dedicated home office space made up of a fold-down table for your laptop and a chic wooden stool. It's a simple solution that gets the job done without overwhelming the tight space. A dividing wall between this area and the kitchen creates a sense of privacy and allows you to work without too many distractions.

The center of the house is occupied by an open-plan lounge, kitchen, and dining area, a three-in-one design solution so often used in tiny homes where space is at a premium. As you'll notice in the photos, there isn't an actual living room in this house but rather a snug seating area with a love seat tucked under the staircase.

Next to it is the modern kitchen, which is very well-equipped to make the cooking experience enjoyable. There's enough room for full-size appliances, including a fridge, a two-burner gas cooktop, a convection microwave, a sink, and a range hood, as well as sufficient cabinets for storing cooking essentials. Toe kick drawers are also included, turning normally wasted space into more storage.

Across from the kitchen is a simple yet elegant dining table for two that creates the perfect setting for dining together but can also be used as extra meal prep surface when needed. Wide-angle windows fill the interior with plenty of sunlight and provide a spacious environment.

The bathroom is preceded by a utility space with a closet and a stackable washer and dryer. Discretely concealed behind a white door, the bathroom is fully equipped with all the basic facilities while maintaining the same minimalist style as the rest of the house.

A smaller loft above the bathroom accessed via a library ladder enhances this home's storage capacity. If needed, it can accommodate a twin mattress for the occasional guest.

Dependable, functional, and beautiful. This is how Wild Horse Tiny Homes describes the Caspian, a tiny house on wheels built to offer a minimalist couple all the comforts and amenities of a traditional dwelling. This particular unit is priced at $138,800 and comes fully furnished and equipped.
