Whether due to mobility issues or just not liking the idea of climbing up a ladder to get into bed, not everyone is cut out for the typical tiny house lifestyle. With this in mind, the Casuarina is arranged all on one level and provides a comfortable home for one or two people, plus guests.
The Casuarina, by Evergreen Homes Australia, has a similar overall design to the builder's Grevillea model and is based on a triple-axle trailer. It has a length of 8.4 m (27 ft) and features a black metal exterior, with timber accenting. The interior decor is quite light and airy and the unfussy layout flatters the relatively small space available.
The interior has a floorspace of 18 sq m (almost 194 sq ft) and the tiny house's sliding glass door opens onto a living room containing a sofa bed that doubles as a guest sleeping area, plus there's a wood-burning stove and a ceiling fan. Nearby is the kitchen. This is particularly well-stocked for a tiny house and includes a breakfast bar with stool seating for two, a fridge/freezer, dishwasher, electric oven, two-burner propane-powered stove, and a sink, plus cabinetry.
The kitchen connects to the bathroom. This looks relatively spacious for a tiny house and includes a vanity sink and shelving, as well as space for a washer/dryer.
Over on the opposite side of the home from the bathroom is the bedroom. With it being situated on the ground floor, it's obviously a lot easier to access than most tiny houses. It also offers the benefit of a high ceiling, so the owners won't have to duck when it's time to hit the hay. It contains a double bed, plus quite a lot of storage space.
The Casuarina gets power from a grid-based hookup as standard, though is wired ready to accept solar panels if the owner wants to upgrade to off-the-grid living. We've no word on the exact price of this one.
