Lovely. Beautiful. Minimalist. Practical.

With the increasing trend, more and more people (with a range of pocket sizes, from the very modest to the very wealthy) are learning the many benefits of tiny homes – cost-effective abodes that do NOT sacrifice luxury for the sake of market profit. In fact, the purpose of the architecture of these homes is to maximize design features while maintaining functionality.

The new creation by Monarch Tiny Homes is no exception to this. Based in California, their ethos suggests that the dream lifestyle should not require a fortune to achieve. Their homes cost just $22,000USD for their half/half design and $47,000 for their larger, 20′ design. The difference between these designs is the inclusions. The half/half design provides you with the frame, aka the shell. It is perfect for those who wish to customize the space, by including only water, sewage, power and gas amenities. The 20′ design includes a loft, kitchen and bathroom.

By now you are asking yourselves how the Monarch designs differ from their competitor’s designs. Well, given that you have done your research, you have already identified that not all compaies provide two, separate styles. This is an excellent consideration given the diversity of needs in California. That said, the main selling point to these remarkable homes is the emphasis on structural security.

What’s that? You wouldn’t have thought to consider this in such a small home? Well, because these homes are intended to be relocated with you (by means of their trailer connections), their architects have considered the different climates of the beautiful, yet vast state of California. While the structural engineering alone follows the legally required specifications, both the half/half and the 20′ designs are reinforced with Structural Insulated Panels (SIPS). And, what stands out as a feat of architectural genius is the manner in which the timber reinforcements are incorproated into the design asthectic.

The ‘cabin in the woods’ feel provides that extra sense warmth and comfort. This is regardless of where you take your home…

…yes, and there is a sentence you never thought you’d say.
