Channeling the grandeur of a literary icon, Rocky Mountain Tiny Houses have designed a tiny home that measures 36 feet long and 10 feet wide. We’ve seen bigger ‘mobile dwellings’ than this one in the past, but the Colorado-based tiny house manufacturers insisted on the moniker ‘Moby Dick’, as it stood as the perfect ode to the American novel written in 1851.
The tiny house not only stands as an innovative interpretation of the all-time American classic novel but also traverses you to the tranquil world of adventure. Other than offering a spacious living space and supreme comfort to the user, it pays the perfect homage to Herman Melville, the man who authored the cult classic.
“We are excited to announce the completion of our first 10 feet wide tiny house build. Since permits to move a structure between 8′-6″ and 11′ to 14′ (depending on route) normally only cost $25 per state, we have seen a growing interest to have that extra 2′ width incorporated into designs, especially if the owner doesn’t plan on moving the tiny house very often,” states the company. The client approached Rocky Mountain Tiny House to design the shell and took customization into his own hands.
Nevertheless, the tiny house boasts an exterior finished with corrugated wainscot, board and batten, and cedar lap siding, while a number of windows allow the interior to be bright and airy. The tiny house shell also features a cantilever over the tongue that serves as a walk-in closet and allows the users to store nitty-gritty essentials alongside the clothes.

“Not only is the house long and wide, but it is oversize in height, topping out at 14′-6″ instead of the normal 13′-6″. Since it was going to require a permit for the width, the same permit covers the extra height, and our travel route did not have any restrictions for this height, so we figured why not get an extra foot of head height in the loft,” adds Rocky Mountain Tiny House.
The shell also features welded steel loft structures with beetle-kill pine decking, a chimney for a wood stove, and custom-fabricated steel stair stringers allowing for maximum clear space underneath the stairs. Not to mention a doggie door that would allow you’re feline or canine to move in and out with ease. The appliances were left for the owners to be installed.

While the owners have not released the pictures of the final design, I’d still assume the tiny house would definitely feature a living room, loft bedroom, kitchen, and bathroom. Priced at $39k (the shell only), it would take a trailer hauler or semi-truck to tow the tiny house that’s humongous in size.
