Hawaiian Tiny House Is Stacked With Space-Saving Solutions Including a Shower Jutting Out Over the Trailer’s Tongue

The tiny home revolution is well and truly taking off, and one brother and sister dynamite team is up there with the best.

Ellie and Dan Madsen were living their separate lives when the death of their mother in Hawaii brought them back together. Ellie was a property manager in Montana, while Dan operated a skate shop and printing business in Hawaii. When their mother left them a home on the Big Island of Hawaii, it was the beginning of their adventure.

Ellie moved back to the Big Island, and the pair began pondering how to put their creativity to good use. They founded Paradise Tiny Homes, and they are now committed to designing and building tiny homes for those looking to live a simpler lifestyle.

The 260-square-foot homes are built on trailers, which make them suitable for transporting on the road. Dan still operates his printing and skate shop, but they come together to create one-of-a-kind homes that are in hot demand.

Dan says they build homes that they would be happy to live in themselves. The Oasis Tiny House, for example, has teal-painted plywood cladding, a curved roof for more space, high ceilings, an outdoor bar, and a bump-out window.

A lot of thought has even gone into the bathroom area, with a shower that juts out over the trailer’s tongue. Ellie says all features are designed to maximise space – something that can often be lacking in a typical tiny home.

The living room is something special, too, with two large half-moon windows, plenty of natural light, and a playful aesthetic. A large kitchen flows seamlessly to each part of the home for all to enjoy.

Dan and Ellie have created a home that promotes indoor-outdoor flow in the best possible way. And given the mild climate of Hawaii, they couldn’t be in a better place to do it.
