I'm sure I'd enjoy the crap out of doing laundry there, if I could climb the ladder, that is.
My first thought when I saw the stairs was "someone has a cat", then I realized the intent is to use those to reach the sleeping area. No thank you. :D
Fully agree with you Rick - and this is where this current "Tiny House" movement falls apart. When practicality and usability are sacrificed just to "stuff more into less" than the movement loses it's objectives and goals.
"Tiny houses" have been around a lot longer than people think - the same movement existed back as far as Victorian times in reaction to the huge, ostentatious mansions and estates that were being built by millionaires - but a "Tiny House" back then wasn't on wheels and was a bit larger (smallest I've seen is 20' x 20' and two stories). Like today, it never really became a 'thing' because of the same issue of practicality and usability (at least, for their time).
Even if someone could live in something like this, it certainly isn't a long-term solution; what happens when you have kids? Or do get older/disabled and can't climb those stairs/ladders? In the grand scheme of things these are "short"-term solutions and will never truly be a significant part of the house solution.
I'm not a fan of the tiny house movement - nothing against it, but it just wouldn't work for me (my house is 4000+sq feet and it's just me and the dog!). There is absolutely nothing wrong with downsizing or living minimalist - but at least present a solution that you could live with for more than just your youth.
Besides, we already have a practical solution for tiny homes - buy an RV/motor home - it at least is not much larger than this and doesn't sacrifice the usability or practicality of daily life. 😊
It's kind of absurd, this tiny house that is supposed to be stylish. I think what we need is basic, sturdy, small, and inexpensive housing. Our entire concept of space has changed since the middle of last century.
Mom, Dad, two kids used to live in a 2 bdrm, 1 bath house that was about 1,400 sq ft. Contractors now are able to build house 4Xs the size for the same money.
I kind of like tiny houses, due to their smallness. Amazing to see what they have stuffed into them! BUT the price is not commensurate with their size! Not a good deal, to me.
Find me a 25' 1960s travel trailer and that would be better. Modernized with inductive cook tops and tankless water heaters. Microwaves and air fryer ovens. Better insulation added, too. Hang a mini-split a/c on the end and a small fan. Functionally better and less money!

Those (I presume they are steps or stairs) look mighty dangerous to climb without a handrail?
