[...] website. The company seems to be very new and this is the only photo I could track down (via the Tiny House Blog), and I think it’s of their tiniest model, the 1o’ by 12′ Outlaw. Besides that [...]

Great idea, but I’d make a few changes. I agree with Carol’s suggestion about the shower, except I’d also suggest making the bathroom a wetroom.

I’d also make big changes in the kitchen. Instead of a full-size fridge, I’d get an apartment-size one. Put a countertop oven (like a Cuisinart brick oven, which has 0.9 cubic feet capacity) on top of the fridge and install built-in double burners, in place of that enormous stove and that’ll free up about three feet counter space. I would keep the microwave as-is, because I suspect it has a built-in fan and that’s handy.

I have an idea for a better layout. Have the entry French doors centered on the living area and not half way into the bathroom. Put the kitchen on the back wall opposite the entry with a window over the sink and the refrigerator door opening towards the sink. In the house featured the refrigerator opens away from the sink, making it hard to access. Use small-scale appliances to make enough room for drawers and base cabinets. Try Summit at http://www.summitappliance.com/

The bathroom doorway is adjacent to the kitchen counter with a closet on the back wall next to the kitchen counter. Have a shower with a curtain but no stall, as the Japanese do. Put a window in the bathroom for light and ventilation. And there may be enough room to put a stackable washer/dryer either in the closet or in the bath.

I really like the idea, but the layout leaves me wanting something a lil better. More windows give the illusion of more space, i realize they are expensive though. I like the idea of modular though. If you could have a options for a blank box, insulated wall, subfloor and a roof, then you could let people do their own work, design the inside on their own, and make it more flexible.

PS: your branding is great love the website

Looks like an extremely well-built and highly-insulated unit to me. Why quibble about interior layout and appliances? Those can be done any way you want.

I agree – the interior looks cheap and poorly planned.

How are you going to access the cupboard on top of the refrigerator?

Oven & microwave but no counter space?

Why waste the good front window by making it part of the “hall” to the bathroom?

And you need more windows.
