Smart Tiny House with Drop-Floor Loft & Loads of Clever Storage - FULL TOUR

The 28' Halcyon tiny house model by Fritz Tiny Homes is an example of tiny home design being refined and perfected. At first glance, it might seem like a pretty simple floor plan, but there are so many clever features designed into it that make it incredibly functional. And they've managed to fit in a lot of the items on people's wish lists, like a comfortable sofa, a bathtub, a washing machine, a standard staircase with a railing, a loft you can stand up in, a proper closet for clothes, space to work from home, and more.

This particular home is designed to be off-grid with ground-mounted solar panels, water tanks under the home, and a waterless toilet. The in-floor heat and hot water are provided by a combi-boiler. And the exterior boasts unique rooflines, loads of picture windows, and metal siding which is low maintenance.

I so want one so Amazing

[@kathleenmiller4001]

Can u tell me the cost of this model?

[@tammycruz8189]

What is the price of the tiny ???

[@taraal7196]

How much ?!

[@obertscloud]

I disagree it has enough storage for a weekend getaway not a daily life, although you have addressed other things, tiny homes lack a lot of storage and extra rooms, the kitchen barely has enough storage, the desk is a joke, I have seen better designs but keep at it, maybe someone will make a winner

[@frothycoffee]

This is probably my favourite tiny home design so far. The drop loft and bathroom storage/plumbing decisions are fantastic

[@fritztinyhomesinc]

Thank you so much!!!

[@Fazzrito]

In this version, the house costs $ 210,000 ....

[@maliahjoy2959]

Same

[@29lookingood]

Okay, I can 100% see myself living in this home. I wouldn't change a thing. 👍🏾🇬🇧💙

[@nicholalenehan]

Well done on the drop loft! I've watched thousands of tiny home tours and about 5% of them have drop lofts. It seems simple enough to design them so that you can put appliances under the drop part of the loft. I've seen them with kitchens where they've got the fridge under the drop part and cupboards like you've done here.

[@jm-bv1wh]

I think that this is the best design I've ever seen for a tiny home. Just perfect!

[@Check.Your.Sources]

Oh my gosh this is gorgeous! I’m happy to be one of the first to see this video, what an amazing space guys! As a single male (and a bit of a minimalist), this would be perfect for someone like me! I’m gonna share this with some people, so awesome 🤙

[@puppycat58]

This home is the best I have seen ...The storage is phenomenal and how this handles in the winter ...the air exchange and heated floors are bar none amazing...

[@fritztinyhomesinc]

😍

[@planetwasabi]

This might be one of my favourite tiny home builds!

[@Clove2546]

This is incredibly well researched and thought out. Thinking about how you need the area around your shoulders to be clear, for example, is just one example of why this feels larger than any tiny home I've ever seen.

[@rhet7751]

A former Albertan watching from B.C. Made me feel Alberta pride. Thanks!

This makes me smile!

[@suelyons531]

Pretty sweet tiny home. Probably one of the best designs I've seen.

[@carltongirl95]

This tiny house is absolutely beautiful with so many great storage idea's in every room...I also really love the Scandinavian look it's so clean, fresh and uncluttered I could definitely live in this...thankyou for sharing 💜

[@dean4558]

Absolutely stunning 😍 has two of my must haves, big tub and not a crawling loft. Love this one❤️❤️❤️

[@fritztinyhomesinc]

💯 love that we could put a soaker tub in! So important for many.

[@dean4558]

@@fritztinyhomesinc yeah the tubs definitely my wife's must have lol.

[@cathylynnpietranton]

This tiny house has everything you need and is very efficient. Love the bathroom set up. Thanks Matt and Danielle ❤

[@mayling141]

WOW! This is one of the most thought-out designs I've ever encountered. Beautifully done!

[@fritztinyhomesinc]

Thank you! We truly love what we do!

They are awesome creations. We need more vibrant patterns for people to live, save and grow in all stages of their lives on Earth.

[@mikewood8680]

One of the best I’ve ever seen!

[@thelisasugarman]

Absolutely love this design! Been following the tiny house movement for years and this design just elevated to the top of my wish list. Beautifully done friends

[@DawnOldham]

I would have to live in this for a short while before I could decide whether it would work as a full time home. It certainly seems to be- there are so many clever ideas tucked into the home! A bath that size is amazing in a tiny home- and the couch/bunk bed was a first for me!

[@1Lightdancer]

Lovely - beautiful design and waits storage has been incorporated - the slide out pantry! The plumbing in the bathroom wall!

[@andrewmutavi590]

Love the front design

[@AndreasMake]

Love it. Well thought design choices! 👌

[@graffiticreative7649]

Um I'm speechless, this Tiny Home is so decidedly piss-fabulous and chic. This is so well done.

[@DavidStruveDesigns]

I'm stunned that you managed to fit not only a full size fridge-freezer, but also a washing machine AND a entire bath inside the footprint of a trailer! Not to mention over 6 foot in height on the drop loft is pretty unique and absolutely perfect! Honestly I can't fault a _single_ thing with this tiny home build! Even the design of the bathroom sink is genius, having it drain out the side to keep the underside completely free and clear of any pipework ... that's a better layout than even my full blown kitchen in my _very_ non-movable house!! I might have to steal that idea and see how I can incorporate it inside my own place. I know this is meant to be moved around from location to location, but honestly I could see someone purchasing like an acre of land near some woods, getting electricity and water supplied to the field and just hooking it up as a more permanent house there. Who needs all the extra that comes with a full blown property?

[@rampagephoenix1735]

See, THIS is a nice set up; It's got all the essentials you need.

[@baironmoreno9766]

Great great

[@buddymccormack8668]

this is an amazing tiny house design, its also very easy to see the quality of the craftsmanship.

[@fritztinyhomesinc]

Thank you so much. Quality craftsmanship is a huge priority to us.

[@marieneu264]

Very nice! I love how modern and clean it is. Some tiny homes have too many decorations and it makes them look smaller.

[@WillowsGreenPermaculture]

I think this is my favourite tiny home design. Very beautiful inside and out and the use of space is just incredible. Very creative!

[@shastafog2516]

What a beautiful painting

[@kathleenmiller4001]

Absolutely perfect! U thought of everything! So functional and beautiful!!!!! ❤

[@revekat2053]

How do you access the plumbing in the wall? What if there’s a leak?

[@Ferelmakina]

Awesome tiny House

[@MisterSynonym]

The bathroom sink wall integrated plumbing is genius, that draw underneath is huge!

[@fritztinyhomesinc]

YES! Love this custom sink and how it opens up so much more storage! Every square inch of storage matters!

[@PaulFrank_paz]

Creative, informative, well thought out. Impressive presentation. Thank you.

[@pemadolker186]

The most amazing house I have ever seen

[@wendydavis2452]

I wish I could afford this tiny home…it’s beautiful

[@annesmith5192]

It's beautiful. It seems really spacious. However, I think that the plumping being in the wall makes it hard to get to if it leaks.

[@maliahjoy2959]

I was thinking this

[@sifthor]

I like it the only things I would change is to have a Murphy bed couch in the living room against the back wall and I would do an apartment style stackable washer dryer.

[@christinehutchins123]

Great design!

[@enigreenigre2435]

I like the design of the tiny house, but I would change two things: 1st) it would be more handy if the freezer and fridge opened to the other side. 2nd) for cross ventilation it would be better to have a window on each side of the couch. The modern scandy vibe is gorgeous.

[@jenwylie4093]

Amazing design. They took advantage of every bit of space and they did it well! I would live in this space. It's perfect!!

[@clhagy]

Brilliant design - excellent use of space. Probably the most efficient design I’ve seen.

[@polizovski]

Nice design

Love this when o have my ranch I will need a few of these

[@jcgross7106]

[@ozlemd.4687]

I'd remove the microwave, add a few plants and replace the sofa with convertable L shape sofa and move in tomorrow!

[@lavondacarter7228]

I would want stack able washer and dryer, shower would allow for that .

[@1964Msbea]

i love the plan, the furniture, how it considered well the functions of each area without compromising comfort. I like the drawers at the working /dining table, no odd corner storage at kitchen then. Great Design!

[@zazazazaza1999]

Wow the storage in the bathroom! I would love that medicine cabinet

[@crazyeightsable]

That's a very nice tiny house.I normally hate lofts,but that's one I wouldn't mind.

[@fritztinyhomesinc]

The standing dropped loft sure makes a difference!

[@crazyeightsable]

@@fritztinyhomesinc I have bad knees.crawling is painful and I don't like ladders.yes,indeed.

[@kgrant3184]

Very nice, thoughtful build. I would reverse the fridge & freezer doors so that they open into the ktichen area & not to the bathroom side, & add slat bars on each of the panty shelves to keep things on the shelves. Wondering why you didn't make all of the bottom stairs with storage - is it over the wheel well so no space other than the bottom step & further along for the laundry combo unit? LOVE the bathtub, and the concealed coat closet and the dropped loft, but wonder how one makes the bed (have back injuries). Really appreciate that you are designing these for our cold Canadian climate. Oh, and a price for this build would be nice to know. Thanks for sharing, and best wishes!

[@sexagesimalian]

I had the exact same thought on the refrigerator doors: they're backwards.

[@fritztinyhomesinc]

We would have liked to have the fridge door that way too but it interferes with the hardware in the pantry. It is hard to see in the video, but the pantry shelves do have lips on them to prevent stuff from falling off. The adjustability of the shelves prevents those lips from being too tall as it minimizes how much can be stored in there. Under the stairs is utilized for a utility closet and fender. There is A LOT packed under those stairs.

[@kgrant3184]

@@fritztinyhomesinc Thanks for replying and clarifying. Cheers!

[@dickielarue1451]

One of the better tiny home designs I have seen...Good flow and use of space...This is more practical for folks that are tall and want to go for a more traditional style of place without having to give up anything...Well-done guy's! Cheers from Portugal...🇵🇹👌🤘✌️😎

[@capucinepichon8242]

If you wanna be successful, you must take responsibility for your emotions, not place the blame on others. In addition to making you feel more guilty about your faults, pointing the finger at others will only serve to increase your sense of personal accountability. There's always a risk in every investment, yet people still invest and succeed. You must look outward if you wanna be successful in life...

[@danutaz.mazurek9246]

Absolutely. Market success requires emotional maturity

[@larsdelange589]

I'm 48 years old and living in California, I'm hoping to retire at 50 if things keep going well for me. Bought my first house last month and can't be more proud than am. I'm glad made great decisions about my finances that changed me forever but now I can't seem to make any other smart investment.

[@juliebarnett9812]

[@ariel393939]

Super cool !! My first time seeing a sofa like that, I like it. Lovin' that big bath tub. My opinion, stand up lofts are the best. Tfs

[@norarivkis2513]

Very effective space. I might want it a little longer just to include a bit more storage, and I would definitely use less gray. I understand why you did, but I would ask for color if I were getting one built for me. But it's very good, and there's not much I would change. I love that you put a full soaker tub into it -- very few tiny homes do, and I need one for medical reasons, so I'm always glad to see one fit in. Well done!

[@arlakauffman4015]

[@goldenbrisket3555]

From their website: Due to the custom, efficient and high quality nature of our builds a typical broad range for a tiny home would be $185,000 - 275,000 + tax CAD depending on length, style, layout, utilities, and fit and finish. There is so much that goes into a build and determining price. It all depends on what you need and where you want to put your priorities into your home.

[@maybeebuzzy2265]

I would need rounded corners on the kitchen counters. Imagine banging into those sharp corners😖😵😵‍💫

[@RevdUp.Art.Fotografer]

That is a really smart design. The couch tripped me out. I've never seen a couch convert into bunk beds. LOL. The wall in between the sink and the shower is brilliant. I've never seen anyone do that. It freed up so much space under the sink and I'm betting it made plumbing the shower/tub easier as well. The height of the kitchen counters is, um...interesting.. I'm sounding like a broken record - I've never seen (or heard of) anyone do that before. I heard most folks say they do not want upper cupboards in the kitchen because it makes it feel too tight. I really want that cupboard space, I have lots of kitchen stuff. In fact I think dishwashers are a waste of cupboard space and I haven't one in 30 years...ugh I feel old.... The only suggestion I would make (I've seen a few other builders do this too) is NOT put the spices next to the oven/stove. The heat build up from the oven will decimate herbs and the spices won't fair well either.

[@SuzanneWho]

Very nice, some really good ideas. The two things I would change is the spice rack - should not be next to a range. The other thing I would like is the counter at the end to be on wheels to move it to the wall for extra room when needed.

[@jeffreyclarke736]

Fantastic

[@fritztinyhomesinc]

♥🏠

[@couscouscraig]

not a fan of the gas stove at all . but the rest of the tiny home was lovely

[@fritztinyhomesinc]

This could be accommodated for you.

[@honnorjustice]

It is well thought out and has all the design features that I’ve been looking for in a tiny home. The only thing I would change is the windows. I’m not a fan of the big glass windows. I prefer to have windows that are narrow and tall and would want to have a choice for window placement.

[@lisaseaton4989]

What is a waterless toilet? Never heard of that. By far the best design I’ve seen so far! Kudos to you! I might just order one😃

[@emiliomiller5952]

Most likely a composting toilet?

[@mrxxbrian]

dat bathroom sink 😳

[@richardlachapelle5460]

Absolutely superb! Very nice nice space and so week organized. The second floor seems a little bit small with the angle of the roof. Love the bathroom as well. My concern is how will it feel to be in during winter in Ottawa? Thanks so much for this film.

[@fritztinyhomesinc]

It would feel warm and cozy during winter in Ottawa. With the hydronic in-floor heating coupled with a really efficient exterior envelope, this home is toasty warm in the most sever weather.

[@RandysRides]

Yoga, yoga, yoga. On a paddleboard, mountaintop, a huge floor area in your TINY HOME ,on top of the house so the neighbours know when you do it.... ...and it must all be filmed for tik tok. 🤣🤣
