Baluchon

It's a challenge to fit a viable house into a length of just 6 m, but with its Golden Hour, Baluchon has managed it while also finding space to add a few home comforts, including a custom kitchen and a loft bedroom with enough headroom to stand up.

The Eucalyptus forgoes the loft bedrooms we've come to expect from a compact French tiny house and is instead arranged on one level. This improves accessibility, but also means that designer Baluchon had to get creative with the layout.

Baluchon's latest tiny house is a departure from the French firm's usual pint-sized dwellings. Named the Gaïa Tiny House, it measures 36 sq m and that allows for a roomy interior layout, with enough space for a small family to live in comfort.

Over the years, tiny houses have been used for everything from a wedding chapel to a children's playroom. The Browny, by Baluchon, is another example of their versatility and squeezes in a home office, an area for exercising, and a guest bedroom.

This latest tiny house by French designer Baluchon, the Mina, mitigates its limited available floorspace by squeezing in a netted loft area that's intended as a reading space and general hangout area, and is topped by a large operable skylight.

Baluchon's latest tiny house sees the firm forgo its usual contemporary styling in favor of a traditional design that recalls the small living movement's roots. The Miss Twain model measures just 6 m in length yet is fronted by a porch reading area.

This latest tiny house by Baluchon is just as small as we've come to expect from the French firm, but nonetheless squeezes in a surprisingly flexible interior, including sleeping space for up to five and two work areas.

Though it has a length of just 6 meters, the Kejadenn tiny house is designed to mitigate its small size with a space-saving interior layout. The towable dwelling serves as a vacation home for a family and sleeps up to five people, at a squeeze.

Baluchon's charmingly named La Maison du Bonheur is quite different from most tiny houses on the market. This particular model pulls double duty as both a fully functional home and a play area – complete with slide and climbing wall.

Given it had a length of just 20 ft to work with, Baluchon managed to squeeze some impressive features into its latest model. The light-filled tiny house includes a netted loft area, lots of storage space, and a well-stocked kitchen.

Though tiny houses are most often designed for people to actually live in, Baluchon's L'atelier de Saint-Joseph takes a different approach. The pint-sized project measures just 4 m in length and serves as an office for a healthcare worker.

Measuring a length of just 6 m, the Yggdrasil tiny house, by France's Baluchon, is compact but not cramped thanks to a simple interior layout with flexible and storage-filled furniture, and the use of generous glazing to maximize daylight inside.
