Glass houses are a lot of fun, but not always very practical. However, this recently completed project is a glass house that you could actually live in.
The Solace, by Removed Tiny Homes, is an extra-wide “Tiny Mansion” that features a spacious and open interior topped by a huge rooftop terrace.
Lots of tiny houses can be towed on the road, but this one by Scott Cronk can float too. Named the Heidi-Ho, it’s a cabin on wheels that sleeps three in comfort.
The Heidi-Ho is built atop a 30-ft (9.1-m) pontoon boat powered by a 115-bhp (85-kW) Suzuki engine.
On top of this is the tiny house itself, which is really closer to a fishing cabin than a conventional tiny house. Its exterior has aluminum siding, with fiberglass insulation.
Visitors enter into the kitchen area, which includes cabinetry, an oven and three-burner propane-powered stove, a fridge, and a sink. Nearby is a bathroom. The living/dining area has a table and a couple of bench seats that can be converted into a double bed. There’s a bunk above and the entire area can be opened up to the outside with an operable rear wall.
The Heidi-Ho has a solar panel on the roof, which is connected to a couple of batteries for power. Other notable features include a greywater tank, stereo system, and an electric water heater. A propane-powered heater can be used to warm the interior too.
The Heidi-Ho costs US$64,000, with off-grid options costing extra. It’s located in Katherine Landing, Lake Mohave, Arizona.

Most so-called tiny houses nowadays are neither small nor particularly affordable. Backcountry Tiny Homes bucks this trend with a micro house model that measures just 16 ft (4.8 m) long, including its deck.
Described by designer The Tiny House Guys as Australia’s most unique tiny house, the Aero Tiny is made from an airplane fuselage section and even has a functional airplane door.
