The Tommy is a much more capable tiny house than its compact size implies. With a length of just 7.2 m (23.6 ft), it sleeps up to six people and also has some notable features, including a space-saving folding staircase and optional off-grid operation.

The Tommy is designed by Craft House and is based on a triple-axle trailer. Its exterior is clad in engineered wood and it's topped by a single-pitched standing-seam sheet metal roof. Its size makes it manageably towable and relatively small compared to those found across the pond in North America, many of which can reach around twice its length.

The interior measures 23.4 sq m (251 sq ft) and is finished in Scandinavian spruce, which looks warm and inviting. The glazing is a real standout in this model too, with both a glass main entrance door and double glass doors at the "front" (opposite the tow hitch) filling the interior with natural light. The living room room is furnished with a sofa bed and a small table, maximizing its usefulness, while a mini-split air-conditioning unit and underfloor heating system maintain a comfortable temperature.

The kitchen is nearby and is equipped with a sink, an induction cooktop, an oven, and a fridge/freezer. Additionally, it has a useful breakfast bar seating area for two, as well as quite a lot of cabinetry.

The bathroom is positioned at the opposite side of the home to the living room. This contains a glass-enclosed shower, a flushing toilet, and a floating vanity sink, plus a washer/dryer.

The Tommy's dedicated sleeping areas are made up of two lofts with low ceilings, giving it a sleeping capacity of up to six adults when the sofa bed is used.

The main bedroom is reached by a storage-integrated staircase and has ample space for a double bed and some storage. The secondary bedroom, meanwhile, is accessed by a clever folding staircase, like the one seen on the Katrin and Jordy, that's stowed against the wall when not in use. This allows easier access to the room than a ladder would, while also freeing up floorspace in the living room. It also has space for a double bed.
