7 Companies Building Tiny Homes That Fit the Whole Family

These tiny home companies are designing small spaces that can house as many as eight people.

Tiny homes aren’t just for one or two people. These days, more and more tiny house companies are designing spaces with four or more occupants in mind. Here are a handful of builders that are doing some family planning.

From the exterior, Escape’s models may seem like other tiny houses on the market, but their Traveler XL Limited and One XL models can sleep up to eight people. Just under 400 square feet, the One XL is clad in shou sugi ban wood, and its cedar interior has a contemporary aesthetic. The slightly smaller Traveler XL Limited has lofty 13.5-foot ceilings and large windows, giving it an open, airy vibe.

A New Zealand family of five is sharing their small-living mantra with others through their tiny house design business Le Workshop. Carpenter Francois embraces his background in cabinet-making to create smart storage solutions. Wood-clad walls and surfaces add a warmth to the pared-down aesthetic. An array of designs are available, but the 226-square-foot Hawkes Bay tiny house can sleep a family of five with a loft and three expertly stacked bunks.

  • 11th St Residence

    Situated on a triple-lot in Boulder’s Newlands neighborhood, this 3200 SF home was designed for a young couple looking to start a family and develop a property well-positioned for future resale in the Boulder real estate market. Our challenge was to preserve as much of the yard as possible while creating a 4BR, 3.5BA home that grouped master suite and kids’ bedrooms on a single floor, and accommodated a private guest suite, ample living areas, open kitchen, and detached garage with small studio space above. The gabled-roof design and divided light windows nod to the vernacular of adjacent properties while charred and stained cypress siding offers a distinctly contemporary tone. A long, horizontal volume stretches across the front perimeter of the property, concealing the large outdoor space behind. The design relies on standard wood framing to optimize budget without compromising form, and allows owners ample room to both grow their family and enjoy a fluid connection between indoor and outdoor areas.
