Ep 16. 300 Sq Ft"Retro Garage House"

In season 4 episode 16 of Tiny House Nation, titled "300 Sq Ft Retro Garage House," hosts John and Zack visit a couple in Great Falls, Montana, who have a unique vision for their tiny home. The couple, Nate and Taylor, have purchased an old garage with the intention of converting it into a stylish and functional living space.

The garage is located on Nate's family property, and the couple hopes to create a cozy retreat for themselves and their dog, Penny. They have some specific requests for John and Zack, including a full-sized kitchen, a space-saving staircase, and room for a large sectional sofa.

As John and Zack begin their work on the garage, it quickly becomes clear that challenges lay ahead. The garage has a low ceiling that will require some creative solutions to make the space livable. Additionally, its sloping roof will make it difficult to install windows on one side of the home.

Undaunted, John and Zack work their magic, designing and building custom features that will make the most of the 300-square-foot space. Nate and Taylor are thrilled with the progress, and they even get involved in the construction process, helping to install a reclaimed wood wall and hanging light fixtures.

Throughout the episode, John and Zack offer helpful tips for maximizing space in a tiny home. They suggest using multi-functional pieces of furniture, such as a coffee table that can double as a dining table. They also recommend using every inch of vertical space for storage, and creating a designated workspace that can be hidden away when not in use.

As the house nears completion, Nate and Taylor are blown away by the finished product. The interior is stylish and functional, with a bold black-and-white color scheme and plenty of storage space. The kitchen features a full-sized fridge and oven, as well as a farmhouse sink and open shelving.

The living area includes a large sectional sofa and a custom coffee table that converts into a dining table. Upstairs, the bedroom is cozy but spacious, with built-in storage and a unique custom headboard made from reclaimed wood.

Throughout the episode, John and Zack emphasize the importance of personalizing a tiny home to fit the owner's unique needs and preferences. They note that even in a small space, there are endless opportunities for creativity and style.

In the end, Nate and Taylor are thrilled with their retro garage house, and they look forward to spending cozy evenings with their dog in their stylish and functional tiny home. With its innovative design and personalized touches, this tiny house is a testament to the endless possibilities of small living.
