Baluchon's charmingly named La Maison du Bonheur (or House of Happiness) offers something different from most tiny houses on the market. This particular model pulls double duty as both a fully functional home and a play area – complete with slide and climbing wall.
Bringing to mind the Tiny Adventure Home, La Maison du Bonheur was commissioned because the owner of the Siana wanted a playroom for her daughter and her friends that would eventually be turned into a typical tiny house as she grows.
The home measures only 6 m (20 ft) long and is based on a double-axle trailer. It's finished in red cedar with aluminum cladding, and gets power from a standard RV-style hookup.
The tiny house's most interesting area takes up the space that would typically be the living room. It consists of a slide and a small playhouse, a mat, and a climbing wall, plus there's storage space nearby for toys and books. Generous glazing ensures the room is filled with natural light and it looks like a fun space for young kids.
Elsewhere lies the house part of the tiny home, including a dining table, with seating for three, as well as a very small wood-burning stove. The kitchen is quite small and hosts a two-burner propane-powered stove, fridge, sink, and cabinetry. The area connects to the bathroom, which has a shower and a toilet.
There's just one bedroom in La Maison du Bonheur and it's reached by a staircase that's integrated into the slide and dining table area. The bedroom itself is a typical tiny house style loft bedroom with a low ceiling and some storage space, plus a bed.
La Maison du Bonheur has now been delivered to its owner in southeast France. We've no word on its price but Baluchon's models typically start at approximately €80,000 (roughly US$85,000).
