A tiny house is not just defined by its design, size, and amenities, but also by its ability to bridge a connection between the residents and nature. People switch to tiny houses for many reasons; one common reason is to find solace in the natural environment, whether choosing to settle down in it at one place or living on the move. Numerous builders create models that seamlessly connect the indoor and outdoor environment to meet that urge to be in nature. A case in point is the Sun Valley tiny house by Australia-based Ridgeline Tiny Homes.
The dwelling catches the eye with its single-level open-floor design and reflective radiance achieved through strategically placed big windows throughout. Measuring 23.6-foot long, 7.8-foot-wide, and 13.7-foot-high, the Sun Valley has a split roof to offer high ceilings, French doors, and multiple windows to keep the interior open and free. What strikes me the most apart from the spacious interior is the premium birch plywood lining with black shadow lines. It lends the dwelling an unrivaled clean aesthetic.
The front doors open into the living space which immaculately gives way to the compact kitchen. The living room has a built-in couch with storage, which can sleep one person if needed. The thoughtfully designed kitchen has hardwood countertops, a two-burner cooktop, a mini refrigerator, a sink, and under-counter cabinets.
A queen-size bed with storage drawers underneath is next to the kitchen. It features two ventilation windows and one panorama window to let in the gorgeous views. There are power outlets and a tiny ledge behind the bed to place tiny essentials like water bottles or mobile phones nearby.
A complete bathroom follows the same minimalistic aesthetic and color palette on the other end of the house. It features a shower cabin with a glass door, toilet, sink, and wooden shelves.
The Sun Valley tiny house has R2.5 insulation, a gas hot water facility, and air conditioning to make it an ideal full-time residence or an Airbnb rental. It is priced at AUD 130,000 (roughly $85,800). Aside from its beautiful design, the bountiful natural light, and vistas pouring in thanks to the big windows, make this tiny house on wheels a great investment for micro-dwelling lovers.
