The Miami tiny house doesn't try to squeeze too much into its extra-wide 400-sq-ft (37.16-sq-m) single-floor interior. Instead, it spreads out for a spacious and apartment-like layout that's designed to sleep two in comfort.

Designed by Greenville, Alabama's Phoenix Building Solutions, the Miami is based on a quad-axle trailer and features LP smart siding and a metal roof. It's a park model, so isn't meant to be moved around often. It has a length of 34.3 ft (10.45 m) and an increased width of 11.8 ft (3.6 m) providing a much roomier feel inside compared to many tiny houses – though this increased girth could mean a permit is required to tow on a public road.

The home's interior is finished in pine tongue-and-groove walls and ceilings and vinyl flooring. It's fronted by generous glazing, including large glass doors that open onto the kitchen. This is massive by tiny house standards and is equipped with an oven and cooktop, a dual-basin stainless steel sink, a microwave, and even a dishwasher, which is always a nice bonus. It also contains a lot of cabinetry, while an island/dining area for two completes the space.

The living room is adjacent and contains a sofa, an electric fireplace, and space for a TV. A ceiling fan and a mini-split air-conditioning unit help maintain a comfortable temperature.

From the kitchen/living area, a wooden door provides access to the home's bathroom. Unusually, it includes twin sinks, which is a feature more commonly associated with full-sized homes. It also has a walk-in shower with a built-in seat, a washer/dryer, and a separate toilet accessed by another door.

Over on the other side of the kitchen/living area, again reached by a wooden door, is the bedroom. Thanks to the home's single-floor layout, this has enough headroom to stand upright and contains a double bed, plus two built-in wardrobes and a chair.

Why does the caption on image 12 mention that the bedroom is on the ground floor? The home has only one floor!
