The idea and the implementation of mobile tiny homes can be antithetical. You want an apartment-sized abode to live off the grid, but the intricacies of a custom build can leave you yearning for the suburbs. For stylish simplicity, take a gander at the Farallon.
The farmhouse-meets-loft digs are designed by Tumbleweed Tiny House Company, the same outfit behind the Portland, Oregon-adjacent vacation compound Mt. Hood Tiny House Village. To wit: they know all about the balance of form and function.
For function, the Farallon is “a RVIA Certified Travel Trailer RV with standard RV hookups for water and electrical,” so taking this on the road is a piece of cake. Speaking of baking, the customization options abound, including an oven, drawer stairs, washer/dryer and USB outlets.
As Inhabitat writes, it can also “be set up to function off the grid or to use propane, while the bathroom can be equipped with a composting toilet or low-flush toilet to reduce waste.”
As for form, the tough exterior gives way to a decidedly homey interior, that can run 218- to 292-square-feet of usable space. The hardwood finishing, loft design and optional additions of skylights and an electric fireplace will make you forget you’re living in a space smaller than your college-aged relatives. And if you add a second loft to the 26-foot version it can sleep up to six people. Then it’ll feel like your college days.
The basic 20-foot edition will set you back $62,950, while the 26-footer is $72,950. (That’s without the oven and USB outlets, mind you.)
Too much for your budget? Tumbleweed also offers starter kits, trailers and building plans for the DIY-inclined.
