After a hiatus, Australian builder Removed Tiny Homes is back on the micro-dwelling scene with a bang. The company has launched its Tiny Mansions lineup with Solace leading the charge. These new tiny home designs come in extra wide for those who want to put down some roots. While the Solace is a single-level dwelling, its sister Onda follows a truly unique two-story layout.
The Onda tiny house is the first of its kind to introduce a true upside-down configuration wherein all the bedrooms are downstairs, and the upper level is designated to the communal spaces, i.e., the kitchen, the bathroom, and a living room. In a sense, it is a true reverse loft plan, which creates free-flowing movement of design.
Measuring 32.8 feet long, 11 feet wide, and 14.7 feet high, the Onda is perfect for a growing family. Paired with an additional deck, the dwelling can expand the living space outdoors as well. The big French doors open into a full-height hallway with a 6.5-foot standing clearance that connects each bedroom on the ground-level.
On the left, there are two bedrooms in a Jack and Jill style. There are two queen-size beds in both low-ceiling rooms with a small wardrobe in each. These two open bedrooms can be used by the kids, while the parents are free to use the master bedroom behind a door on the right side. It can fit a queen- or king-size bed, while a full-size wardrobe keeps things tidy. Each of the downstairs bedrooms has horizontal windows at the bed level to keep things light and breezy despite the compact form.
Outside the master bedroom, a handful of steps takes you to the communal spaces on the upper level. Above the main bedroom sits the lavish living area. It is an open, wide space that features an L-shaped built-in seating area with integrated storage. There is ample space to put an entertainment center and a coffee table in here. A partial slatted wall separates the living room from the rest of the floor, while a trio of windows keeps it well-lit.
A little ahead is the kitchen, taking up the center. The L-shaped space fits all the modern appliances – oven, microwave, stovetop, dishwasher, and refrigerator – to make home cooking an effortless task. Plenty of storage dots the kitchen for ease of organization. Facing the cooking area is a small L-shaped dinette to seat 3-4 people. There is even a skylight brightening the space, along with a couple of windows.
Past the kitchen is a big bathroom. It includes a vanity sink in the middle of the room with a glass shower cabin under a skylight on one side. On the other side, there is a toilet, a closet, and the stacked laundry machine.
The huge Onda tiny house is a unicorn in the wild. It offers a genuine downsizing opportunity for a family to thrive in a practical layout. It is priced at AUD 229,990 (roughly $161,700). There are plenty of customization options as well: You can have windows in more strategic spots, include off-grid capabilities, and much more. You can contact the builder to book a unit.
