When you think of tiny houses, you probably think of highly compact dwellings that either work for young professionals or couples, or perhaps function as vacation get-aways, but New Frontier Tiny Homes is setting out to prove that tiny homes can also act as suitable living spaces for families with a child.
The Escher tiny home, named after the occupant's child, sits on a 10-meter long axle trailer and offers a floorspace of 300 square feet. The dwelling includes a number of space-saving features such as a dining table that can be stashed under the stairs when not in use, as well as a king-size bed with embedded storage space.
At a price of $139,900, these tiny houses occupy a premium price point, with New Frontier Tiny Homes betting on families being willing to pay up to secure a compact but comfortable dwelling.
