Ruru Tiny Homes: Custom design - Two bedrooms tiny home on wheels

In 2022 we picked up a custom enquiry from a local client who brought in her own ideas and layout.
Whilst at Ruru we usually focus on repetitive design and set schedules for a build, this was a great opportunity for us to learn and experiment with new materials, different styles and finishings. A lot went into this home including sweat, tears and a lot of love.
We’re extremely proud and happy with the result of this beautiful custom tiny home, it sure has been a journey, but we’re very glad to see how perfect it turned out - so is the owner!
A price you ask? It’s priceless! 😂 but seriously, fully customised Ruru tiny homes will be quoted off a base price depending on size, number of bedrooms and will be specific to interior and exterior materials including necessary labour allocation.
The base price for our 10x3M Toroa model is $215,000 inc.
(This unit is a 10x3M with significant customisation)
The Toroa is a double storey, two bedroom, tiny home on wheels. Offering height and space, the Toroa has ceilings in bathroom and kitchen of 2100mm height and a standing height of 1900mm on the walkway. On a 10x3m platform, this home boasts 49.5m2 floorspace.

This really nice. It's one of the best layouts I've ever seen.

Thank you 🥰

I know I've already committed but I just wanted to tell y'all you did a fantastic job on this home. I live in the US so New Zealand is way too far and I'm poor lol. But if I ever win the lottery or some very rich person leaves me all their money, I will definitely buy one and have it shipped. You guys are truly the best 🤗

[@revdrkathleenraphaelddlpn2357]

I'm in LOVE with this one!!! The change I would make would be to add a washer/dryer & solar panels to it. Also, the solar panels that are atmospheric processors generating water from air. That way you can readily live off grid.

Such a lovely tiny home. Is there room for a washing machine in those cupboards in the bathroom? Would a king-size or Californian king-size mattress fit on the bed platform? I like that you can stand up in the main bedroom, is that correct?

[@rurutinyhomes]

Thanks for your question! Yes the washing machine in this model is in the cupboards. A king size mattress will fit on our mezzanine platform and also likely a California King. We have full standing height upstairs in our walkway of 1900mm

I do think it’s a far stretch to call it a tiny house, since watching this revolution develop the very first ones were indeed tiny but this isn’t but it is lovely.

[@rurutinyhomes]

I know it's hard to believe, but this house is still on wheels and is considered a cabin/RV/caravan, rather than a proper house. For this reason, in most cases, no building consent is needed. Thank you for your comment. ☺

The home is beautiful. It would be helpful, though, if you could move the camera a bit slower and not rock it. It was hard to take in all the features (they are worth seeing), and I had to stop watching a bit before the end because my head and stomach couldn't take the motion any longer. I'll try watching again by stopping the video every 10 seconds or so. Was that a fold down table near the door? I think the bathroom was divided into two rooms, and I think that's a really useful feature.
