The Ptarmigan, a single level, overwidth tiny home...and maybe our favourite yet?!
/
The Ptarmigan is a single level tiny home that feels much different than any home we've built before. Going overwidth comes with its own set of hurdles, but the outcome is simply unbeatable.
This home is built on a custom 14,000lb GVW trailer to a width of just over 12'. Custom birch cabinetry throughout the home and luxurious fir trim combine with the modern black fixtures and clean lines to make a contemporary and self-contained suite, perfect as a retirement home or as a secondary source of income.
The kitchen has space for a combo washer/dryer and a bar fridge under the counter, along with plenty of counterspace for an electric cooktop. Soft-closing drawers and cupboards throughout. A custom fir pocket door separates the living space from the bedroom (as well as the bedroom from the bathroom).
The bedroom features a custom wardrobe and end table sized to accommodate a queen sized bed, and the ensuite bathroom is equipped with safety handles placed beside the shower and toilet facilities. The toilet is a standard flush toilet and the water heat in this home is a small electric tank, held in a custom storage box above the toilet.
