Tiny house designers never seem to run out of ideas to make their models stand out. The latest example of this is the Overlook, which provides a small and simple take on tiny living that's enlivened by an eye-catching cantilevering sleeping area.

The Overlook was created by online marketplace Tiny House Listings. It's based on a double-axle trailer and has a length of 20 ft (6 m), which is the same as Baluchon's recent Hytta, for example, and is definitely on the smaller side compared to most North American models. Its exterior is finished in wood, with polyurethane accenting, and it's topped by a steel roof.

The interior measures just 192 sq ft (almost 18 sq m). The entrance opens onto the living area, which contains some seating. The sleeping area is above and reached by ladder. This juts out 4 ft (1.2 m) from the main body of the house and, as you'd expect, has little headroom available.

Back on the ground floor, the kitchen is next to the living area. It's pretty basic though does boast quartz countertops, with an apartment-sized fridge/freezer, a large pantry storage space, an induction cooktop, a sink, and cabinetry. The kitchen is also plumbed ready to accept a washer/dryer and has a space ready for it to be installed.

The Overlook's bathroom is located on the opposite side of the tiny house to the bedroom and is looks quite snug, with a shower, sink, and a flushing toilet, plus a little additional storage space.

Given its small size and overall simplicity, you're obviously not going to be hosting any large dinner parties or guest sleepovers in this thing, however it's also on the cheaper side for a tiny house nowadays and is currently on the market for US$59,000.

The two supporting struts means isn't not cantilevered.
WONKY KLERKY
Mi thinks not a true cantilever.

ref Ye Joisting:
The joist support to front/door side can only go back as far as window jamb and resolution of its turn unknown - ?
Possibly as/rear but totally within wall cladding - ?
+
The rear side joist inner progress is less unclear but if done its turning inner end upper thrust most likely resolved by being taken by strake to roof ring beam - ?
+
Interim joists can only go as far back as bed inner side 'beam' (more like a plate).

Conclusion:
Whole better expressed as a supported projection.
H&S:
DON'T remove the bl**dy supporting rakes!
