In Tiny House, Big Living season 7 episode 6, titled "Tiny Shoebox House," viewers are taken on a tour of a unique and innovative tiny home that pushes the boundaries of what is possible in a small space. The episode follows the construction and design process of a 150 square foot shoebox-shaped house that was built on a trailer bed and towed to its final destination.

The episode begins with the homeowners, a couple looking to downsize and simplify their lives, sharing their vision for their tiny home with their builder. They hope to create a space that is comfortable, functional, and eco-friendly. The tiny house will be their permanent residence, so they want everything to be perfect.

The builder uses creative solutions to make the most of the small space. For example, instead of a traditional staircase, he installs a small ladder that leads to the bedroom loft. The ladder folds up and can be hidden away when not in use, maximizing the floor space.

The interior design of the tiny house is minimalistic and contemporary, with a mix of natural wood finishes and white accents. The living area includes a small sofa and fold-down table, while the kitchen is equipped with a mini-fridge, sink, and induction cooktop. Storage is integrated into every nook and cranny of the tiny home, including custom-made drawers under the sofa and cabinets above the kitchen.

Next, the couple focuses on creating a comfortable sleeping area in the loft. They choose a bed that can be lifted and lowered using a pulley system, allowing them to have more floor space during the day and a cozy sleeping area at night.

The biggest challenge in building the tiny shoebox house is figuring out how to attach the roof to the trailer. Since the house is shaped like a shoebox and has no overhangs, it requires a custom solution to ensure that the roof stays securely attached during transport.

Once the roof is securely attached, the final touches are added to the interior and exterior of the tiny home. The couple installs solar panels on the roof to power their appliances and lighting, making the home 100% sustainable. They also add a small deck area outside the home, creating a comfortable outdoor living space that extends the living area of the tiny house.

Overall, "Tiny Shoebox House" is a fascinating episode that showcases the ingenuity and creativity required to create a comfortable and functional tiny home. It offers valuable insights for anyone interested in the tiny house movement and proves that with the right design and planning, it is possible to live comfortably in a small and sustainable space.
