This charming tiny house is the work of French studio Tiny Binocles. Named Grand-Duc, the home features a compact but well-designed interior that punches above its weight with sleeping space for up to six people.
The Grand-Duc is based on a double-axle trailer and has a length of 6.6 m (21.7 ft), which is about average for a European model, though relatively small by North American standards, where homes can reach over twice that length.
Its exterior is finished in aluminum and features porthole-style "eyes," which are a signature motif on all models by Tiny Binocles and lend it a quirky appearance, along with its vaguely owl-like form – indeed its name translates as Grand Duke, a type of owl.
The interior of the home measures roughly 22 sq m (236 sq ft) and is arranged around a central kitchen. It's finished in wood with poplar ply walls and a spruce floor. The kitchen is small but does contain an oven, an induction cooktop, a sink, and cabinetry, plus space for more appliances.
Nearby is the living room/dining area. This consists of a large booth-style seating area with a U-shaped sofa that seats six and has integrated storage, plus a table. The space can be converted into an extra guest room if required and closed off with a curtain.
On the opposite side of the home to the living room, is the bathroom. This includes a shower, a sink, and a toilet.
There are two bedrooms in the Grand-Duc, both of which are situated upstairs and accessed by a ladder each. The bedrooms are typical loft models with low ceilings and each has a double bed and some storage space. They also each have a trapdoor to offer some privacy.
Tiny Binocles offers the Grand-Duc for sale, but interested parties need to get in touch with the firm directly for pricing and availability.
