Inside the Main Room:

Kitchen is to the right.

Bathroom is behind kitchen to the left.

There is no built-in furniture. Each person sets up the main room to live in as they see fit.

This is not a "tiny house".  This is a small house.  The rooms are normal size.  Just fewer of them.

This BPS is approximately 144 sq ft.     
I am in the process of refining it and hope to build one soon.
