Bulgaria-based tiny house manufacturer Koleliba has been designing micro-dwellings since the early 2010s, but it is only now that the studio has truly caught our attention. Renowned for mobile homes like Younicube and Jana, Koleliba has an impressive portfolio of tiny homes. One of the brand’s earlier builds is the Family Tiny, a 21.3-foot-long tiny house that now resides in Austria with a Scandinavian-inspired interior.
Poised on a double-axle trailer and completed in March 2019 for an Austrian family, the Family Tiny measures 8.2 feet in width and packs in a two-person bedroom, a small yet functional kitchen, and a living room. The main USP of the tiny house is its cleverly hidden bedroom, pull-out single bed, and a convertible bed, which combined can sleep up to four people.
Akin to Jana’s tiny house, the Family Tiny features a wooden exterior and a metal roof. What sets it apart from Jana and Younicube (Koleliba’s other creations) is a fold-out sunshade and an exterior deck that, according to the makers, “turn the front façade into a nice outdoor chill zone.” This reminds us of Draper and Jupiter tiny homes by Land Ark RV and Wunder Tiny House, respectively, though the two featured only a foldable deck without a fold-out sunshade.
Another notable exterior feature is the generous glazing, which allows ample natural light to flood the interior. “The façades are made from Siberian larch and treated with linseed oil in natural color,” the manufacturer notes.
Visitors can access the interior via a wide glazed door that opens directly into the living room. Unlike many tiny houses that feel cramped and cluttered, this Austrian-built tiny home boasts a minimalist, functional, and cozy interior, reminiscent of old-school Scandinavian tiny homes we have covered on Homecrux.
The living room serves as the central hub of the home and includes a storage-integrated sofa and a separate pull-out bench. Arranged in an L-shape, both the sofa and the bench are independent units, but when combined, they can comfortably sleep a couple. Not to mention, a center table that completes the living room setup.

Adjacent to the living room is the main-floor bedroom, a clever, secret nook that most would easily mistake for a wardrobe. The tiny house forgoes a traditional loft in favor of this concealed sleeping space, which, as highlighted by autoevolution, sits atop one of the benches and is fitted with a sliding door for adjustable privacy. The bedroom sleeps a couple and features its own window, lighting fixtures, and a wall-mounted cupboard.
On the opposite side of the bedroom lies the kitchen and bathroom. The kitchen is well-equipped with cabinets, a countertop, a full-size oven, and a stove. The refrigerator and dishwasher are notably absent, and understandably so, given that the primary purpose of this tiny home is to serve as a weekend retreat rather than a fully functional mobile residence.
The bathroom is accessible via a sliding door and features a toilet, shower, and vanity sink. While the brand doesn’t explicitly state it, we assume the Family Tiny home runs on a standard RV-style hookup.
