After featuring the Jay tiny house last week, we thought it would be interesting to take a look at another vintage offering from Decathlon Tiny Homes. The Storm tiny house is the Texas-based builder’s third model, following Jay and Missy. As the name suggests, the Storm tiny house is built to withstand high winds. It does it via features like hurricane clips on the rafters, which lock the roof framing to the walls and prevent the structure from lifting or separating in high winds. While Decathlon doesn’t guarantee it’s completely immune to severe weather, it does state that it can withstand direct hits from extreme events such as severe tornadoes.
Mounted on a triple-axle trailer, the Storm measures 32 feet long and 8.6 feet wide. It packs a private bedroom, a fully functional kitchen, a living area, and a bathroom, all wrapped in tongue-and-groove cedar siding and a metal roof built to handle whatever the seasons throw at it.
Inside, the Storm tiny house follows Decathlon’s standard Athena layout, also seen in the Betty and Blackstone models. As with most Athena models, the Storm tiny house features a private bedroom that sleeps two on a custom platform bed with storage drawers, along with a custom wardrobe with a barn door.
The kitchen sits between the bedroom and the bathroom, stocked with a two-burner cooktop, a microwave, a refrigerator, a butcher-block countertop, and a sink. The bathroom includes a dual-threshold shower, a one-piece flush toilet, and a vanity with sink, with a washer/dryer hookup available as an upgrade.
Luxury vinyl runs throughout the floor, and a 12,000 BTU mini-split handles heating and cooling. Another notable feature is a ladder that leads up to a storage loft. The build also includes a 30-gallon water heater and relies on standard RV-style hookups. As is the case with most Decathlon Tiny House dwellings, there is no designated living room, nor are there any furnishings for the same.

Decathlon Tiny Homes also offers an array of personalization options, ranging from tile backsplash, stone countertops, and a farmhouse sink to a folding bar top, a tankless water heater, and a couple of skylights. The Athena model starts at $79,500. Factor in upgrades like skylights and tile backsplash, and the total price of the Storm tiny house can climb well above $100,000.
