Vagabond Haven’s Sofia is a seriously small tiny house that measures just 172 sq ft (16 sq m). However, thanks to its clever transforming furniture, it still manages to offer a surprisingly livable interior that’s suitable for two people, even off-grid.
The Sofia is based on a double-axle trailer and has a length of 20 ft (6 m), which is smaller than the average tiny house these days. It’s clad in spruce, engineered wood, or timber treated using the traditional Japanese Shou Sugi Ban method, where the wood is charred for durability. The interior, meanwhile, is finished in a choice of spruce or plywood siding, with laminate flooring.
The kitchen sits at the center of the home’s open layout. It’s fairly simple but includes a microwave oven, a gas cooktop, and a small fridge, plus some cabinetry. A wood-burning stove provides heat, while a mini-split air-conditioning system is installed for warmer weather.
The bedroom area is multifunctional and, as well as serving as a sleeping space, includes built-in storage and transforming furniture. A dining table can be pulled out along with bench seating, turning the space into a small living/dining area. On the opposite side of the home is the bathroom, which includes a very small sink, a shower, and a choice of flushing, composting, or incinerating toilet.
Above the bathroom is a small storage loft, accessed by a removable ladder.
The Sofia starts at US$32,000, with options including a full off-grid solar setup and a rainwater harvesting system.
