A loft you can stand up in 🌲


Happy Saturday! Video tours. Two new builds went up this morning — a 30-foot stand-up loft among the redwoods, and a couple's creative 592-sq.-ft. rental apartment. Then five more tours from the archive.

🌲 A Loft You Can Stand Up In
New today: Tiny House Giant Journey walks Shelby’s 30-foot tiny house among the redwoods, a short drive from the Oregon coast. On-screen she is Shelby, Instagram @tinycasita_. The listing, dated August 27, 2026, names a stand-up bedroom loft — the one you walk into, not crawl into.

🎋 A 55 m² Rental Named “Whatever Works”
Also new today: Never Too Small walks Yoshinani House, the Musashi-Kosugi rental Takashi ‘Ryu’ Harada and Nodoka ‘Kamado’ Miyamoto named for “whatever works.” The listing title is 55 m² / 592 sq ft — not a tape-measure — in Kanagawa, between Tokyo and Yokohama.

🏡 No Loft. 306 Square Feet. Winston-Salem.
Tiny Home Tours walks Mollie’s single-story cottage in Winston-Salem — 8.5 by 36 feet, about 306 square feet, no loft. The listing, as of August 27, 2026, puts the all-in cost at about $160,000.

🔨 She and Her Dad Built It for $30–40K
Caitlin wanted her own home, and her carpenter dad was all in. Starting in 2014 they spent about three years on an off-grid tiny house on a 24-foot trailer. She towed it onto land next to the build site — and she’s still there eight years later.

🛠️ She Built It at 19 for $45K
Rent felt temporary, so Annie’s parents offered a wooded lot. A few months later she had a $45,000 tiny house with a pink kitchen, a back porch, and no rent. Video tour included.

🎥 11 Feet Long, Sleeps Three
Baluchon’s smallest build ever still fits a loft, a pull-out couch, a full wet bath, and a porthole window over the desk. Tour it on video.

🛏 28 Ft With a First-Floor Bedroom
The Sangja by Modern Tiny Living gives you a ground-floor bed and still keeps a loft. No ladder required at bedtime.
