This Tiny Home Comes in Three Pieces – And It’s More Luxurious Than Most Apartments

‘Cramped’, ‘crowded’, and ‘small’ are three words that some people use to describe tiny home living. Yet, these three words are certainly not what you would use when discussing the beautiful three-part modular home built as a bed and breakfast by Shaye’s Tiny Homes in Auckland, New Zealand. The three-part design makes this tiny home suitable for individuals, couples, and families alike. Tiny by design, but certainly not by nature.

The modular tiny home, which is tucked away in a serene part of the Waitakere Ranges in West Auckland, consists of three parts – the main tiny house, a bedroom pod, and a portable porch. While they aren’t connected, Shaye’s Tiny Homes placed them next to each other to form one cohesive home unit. A walkway built into the porch blends everything together seamlessly. It leads to the main house and the bedroom pod’s door. The location of each component allows for a sheltered, paradise-like outdoor space.

The tiny house is built on a trailer, and the porch is portable with multiple jacking points.

The clever placement of the bedroom pod between the house and porch means you can enjoy a sheltered, cosy indoor area with outdoor vibes. There are even pull-down screens to make it a comfortable space to enjoy in winter.
