French tiny houses are a tough sell for all but the most dedicated downsizers, but this one by Baluchon is one of the more practical examples. It fits a home for two into 6-m-long proportions and has generous glazing, including a large skylight.

The Bay Tree Tiny House will be placed on an isolated New Zealand beach with spectacular views. In response, Build Tiny created a light and airy beach house on wheels with glazing situated to maximize the view and an interior designed for family use.

Last year, we reported on the Noyer, which, like all Minimaliste's tiny houses, is built for extremes in heat and cold. The Canadian firm has now unveiled an updated take on the model which boosts storage and living space.

Stowable ladders and storage-integrated staircases are almost ubiquitous in tiny houses, but not everyone's cut out for climbing into bed every night. The Dark Horse is all on one level and has some nice optional extras like off-grid functionality.

Taylor McClendon moved to Hawaii to run a wedding photography business with his wife Michaella, then the pandemic hit and their bookings were cancelled. They used the downtime to build a tiny house and have now decided to go into business.

Back in 2018, we were impressed with Minimaliste's Ébène, which was designed to stand up to Canada's harshest winter weather. The firm has now produced a compact version that retains the same hardy construction and sleeps up to four people.

The Pinea Mobile is a stripped-down shelter – essentially a bedroom on wheels – measuring just 4.50 x 1.97 m (14.7 x 6.5 ft) inside. The simple dwelling is currently used for glamping and runs off-the-grid with solar power.

Every time we think we've seen every style of teardrop trailer, a different spin on the genre pops up. The Mobi X tucks inside a fiberglass monohull on the way to camp, but slides out, drops down, pops up and swings out into a large camp for four.

Minimaliste has been iterating on its Magnolia tiny house for a few years and following the Magnolia V5, has completed the V6. The tiny house has a roomy interior layout and offers increased storage space and a well-stocked kitchen.

Most of the home offices we see in tiny houses are nothing more than a cramped desk in a corner, which is understandable given the lack of space. However, the Total Grace has a dedicated office, helping its owner keep home life and work separate.

The Tiny Housing Co. recently unveiled its Natura model. Partly clad in cork, the home has some nice features, including solar power, a drop-down deck, and an upstairs bedroom boasting a little more headroom than many tiny houses.

With its Revel camper van, Winnebago reached out to woo adventurous campers like mountain bikers and skiers. A $175K adventure van isn't for everyone, though. So Winnebago has reached out again, with a versatile gear-hauler trailer it calls the Hike.
