Minim Tiny House Plans

The Minim tiny house has become one of the most iconic tiny homes in the U.S.

With no loft, no walls, and great vaulted ceilings it lends itself to a modern spacious feel. A perfectly refined mobile tiny home, studio, ADU or AirBnB guesthouse.

The philosophy behind the Minim is pretty simple: a contented life is largely independent of the size of one’s dwelling. We, humans, can and must live more sustainably, but not without style. Living in a small structure should never feel compromised- it should feel amazing.

With these principles we sought to re-imagine what the micro house can be, adding livability, streamlining construction with SIPs, modernizing aesthetics, and increasing off-grid versatility. It took time- 7 months to perfect the plans, 1 day for every square foot! But this time and 6+ years of full-time life testing, the design is now fully refined.

 Features:

Minim features a full-size roll-out bed (avoiding the many inconveniences of a loft), a highly functional 10’ galley kitchen with deep sink, 2 burner gas cooktop, full-size microwave, 7 cu ft fridge/freezer. A moveable hydraulic table functions as a dinner table for 6, a coffee table, extra kitchen prep space or a bar, or a window desk.

For entertainment, a large movie screen functions doubles as a window shade. The sofa is 8’ long, seats 5 and can double as a guest bed. On top of the bed platform is a separate 5’ desk and 5’ closet. The closet can be widened slightly if desired to accommodate a combo washer/dryer. Bookcases on 2 walls can hold over 150 books.

For heating there’s room for a Dickinson propane fireplace and wall panels, for cooling we’ve hidden a through-the-wall A/C into the desk shelving (you could alternatively put in a mini-split). The bath is a ‘wet bath’ and accommodates any type of toilet desired. We also include all the specs to make Minim fully off-grid with a solar array, battery bank, propane heat, and rainwater collection/storage/treatment.
