When thinking about tiny houses, some people have inevitably asked “how small can we actually make this?”
Creator Levi Kelly didn’t just ask this question, he set about building it, creating what is (soon to be) recognized by Guinness World Records as the smallest tiny house ever.
At just 19 square feet (1.7 square meters), it truly is miniature in just about every way. However, the amount of practical usability in the home is impressive, considering it’s the size of a coat closet. Take a look at the video below.
From outside, the home has an all-black look, and is fitted with multiple windows, solar panel, and string lights.
There’s an outdoor shower and even a small roof overhang for rain protection.
Inside, the tiny house features cedar siding, and a surprising amount of natural light. A full-size sink and small counter take up some of the space, while a multi-use bench provides seating and built in storage.
The ceiling panel folds down to create a single bed which has a length of 5 feet ten inches, just long enough for the builder of the home to sleep in.
An induction burner brings kitchen utility, and the tiny house is even equipped with air conditioning, making it practical during hot summer months.
Outside, a small portable toilet stores near the tiny home’s hitch, making this a truly functional home, indeed.
While Kelly admits this tiny home build was mostly for demonstration purposes, we’re impressed how much function can be built into something so diminutive.
Even more impressive, the entire project was completed for under $5000, making this a pretty affordable undertaking as well.
Could this tiny house model be replicated for those lacking housing? For events? It seems like beyond just the record for smallest tiny house, there’s something here that could be replicated.
