Australian builder Häuslein Tiny House Co. recently updated its Grand Sojourner model to create the all-new GrandHaus. With a similar overall design but improved interior layout, this home would be a good choice for a family of four looking to embrace small living.
The GrandHaus is based on a three-axle trailer and is 9 m (just under 30 ft) long. It is clad in wood and coloured metal. The interior of the house is accessed via large glazed folding doors and has a floor area of 36 m2 (approx. 390 sq ft) with oak flooring and birch plywood walls. The entrance leads into the living room, which is full of light thanks to the generous glazing and includes a sofa, some storage space and a TV.
The kitchen is nearby. It looks quite large for a small house and has an oven, induction hob and farmhouse style sink. There is also room for an optional large fridge/freezer and dishwasher. The space also benefits from plenty of storage and a breakfast bar for two.
The GrandHaus's bathroom is accessed from the kitchen and includes a shower, sink and flush toilet.

The upstairs layout of the GrandHaus is a bit different from most tiny homes. A space-saving alternating-step staircase provides access to a landing area near the master bedroom, and another bedroom is connected by a small passageway, allowing residents to move from one to the other without having to go downstairs. Both bedrooms are typical tiny house loft spaces with low ceilings and enough space for a queen bed or two singles.
The GrandHaus comes standard with an RV-style hookup, but can also be upgraded to full off-grid capability with options like solar power, a composting toilet, and water tanks for those who want to cut the cord. There are also plenty of other add-ons available, including an outdoor deck and furniture upgrades.
