Trent, Robbie, and Daniel became friends at The Ohio State University.
They all wanted to live in tiny houses but found there wasn’t much information available.
So, they started their own company to build tiny houses, called Modern Tiny Living.
As their business grew, they added more experts to their team. Now, they also work with skilled Amish craftsmen in Ohio to make the tiny houses.
The company’s website shows many tiny houses they have built. One great example is the Cocoa, a tiny house built on a 20-foot trailer.
The main floor is 160 square feet, and the loft above is 70 square feet.
It’s important for houses to be safe and strong. The Cocoa is built to last with a tough exterior.
It has 3-inch thick foam insulation in the walls, ceiling, and floors to keep it warm.
The inside walls are made of PVC, which is light and keeps water out. There are wooden details all around the house that look nice. ‘
The windows from Ply Gem make the house feel brighter and more open. Plus, the metal roof is guaranteed to last 40 years.
In the living area, there’s a bench with gray cushions that takes up most of the space.
At night, you can pull it out to make a bed for one person. The windows above and next to the bench let in sunlight and let you look outside.
There are also some fresh green branches in a tall pitcher on an open shelf, adding a bit of nature and fun to the room.
The kitchen is equipped with a two-burner propane stove, perfect for cooking meals.
It also has a microwave and a large 9.9 cubic feet refrigerator. There’s a stainless steel sink with a matte black faucet that makes cleaning up easy.
Across from the sink, there’s a drop-down table where you can eat your meals.
These wooden stairs lead up to the loft. The first four steps have open sides that you can use to show off decorations or store things.
A sleek black circular handrail on the wall looks good and helps you climb safely.
In the loft, there’s a big mattress on the floor that takes up almost all the space.
There’s a little room left on one side for low wooden cabinets. You can store extra pillows, blankets, or clothes in these cabinets.
There’s also an open unit next to the cabinet for books and other personal items.
The low ceiling makes the loft feel cozy. The hardwood floors keep the rustic look of the house going.
A tiny space doesn’t mean it has to feel cramped. With good design, your house can feel bigger than it is.
