Storage-Centric Compact Homes

Build Tiny's Kōtuku Home is Compact and Finished with Vinyl

— July 3, 2024 — Art & Design
Build Tiny unveils a look at the Kōtuku home, which is a compact structure measuring 10 meters in length. This makes it slightly larger than typical tiny homes. The extra space is fully optimized as it is developed with storage elements and the name of the home is a subtle nod to the Kōtuku bird from New Zealand.

The home is towable so that it can travel with the owners and is based on a triple-axle trailer. The finishings are complete with vinyl and complemented by wooden accents and steel structures in that make up the frame. It is powered by a standard RV-style hookup and the double glass doors open up to the home.
