The latest tiny house from Baluchon, the Avalon, combines contemporary exterior styling with a cleverly designed interior layout. Despite its compact footprint, the towable dwelling provides a practical and light-filled home for two.

Not to be confused with Dragon Tiny Homes' own Avalon, this model is based on a double-axle trailer and has a length of 6 m (20 ft). It's finished in red cedar and black metal, and is reminiscent of some of Baluchon's other more contemporary models, like the Kejadenn.

The "front" of the home (i.e. opposite the tow hitch) is occupied by the living room. This has generous glazing and a sofa, plus a small entertainment center and some shelving.

Nearby is the kitchen, which is split into two, with oak units on each side wall, and includes an induction cooktop, a fridge, sink, cabinetry, and space for more appliances. There's also a drop-down dining table/office desk. The entrance to the home is located in the kitchen too.

The kitchen connects onto the bathroom, which has a flushing toilet, a vanity sink, and a washer/dryer, plus a little storage.

There's only one bedroom in the Avalon, which is accessed by a staircase. It contains a double bed and some storage space, and is a typical loft with a low ceiling. However, there is also a lowered platform area to make it easier to stand upright and get dressed.

The Avalon has been delivered to its new owners in Brittany. We've no word on how much it cost, though Baluchon's models typically start at €85,000 (roughly US$98,000)

I am an enthusiast of tiny homes, but over the past decade they have become more of a plaything for the wealthy, and their price per sq.ft has risen dramatically since. They are no longer economical because of this. Who wants to pay 1/4 the cost of a traditional home for 1/8 the size, especially when you can get a pretty nice comparable RV for much less than the smaller tiny home. This would have been a great movement for most people that can't afford a traditional home, but the rich messed it up just like they have artificially raised the prices for traditional homes. Very unfortunate
