An Australian Tiny House Builder Just Cracked the Code On Small Space Living

Tiny Tect Tiny Houses has been perfecting its craft on Australia’s Sunshine Coast, and its newest creation proves they’re onto something special. The Escapada isn’t just another tiny house – it’s a masterclass in making every square inch count. At just 20 feet long, this home breaks from the traditional tiny house playbook and offers something genuinely different.

Most builders cram sleeping areas into cramped lofts, but Tiny Tect took a different approach. The Escapada features a Murphy bed that disappears into the wall, instantly transforming the main bedroom into whatever you need. Office space in the morning, yoga studio in the afternoon, guest room at night. The genius lies in the details, creating a space that adapts to you rather than forcing you to adapt to it.

Walk through the front door and you’ll find a kitchen that doesn’t feel like an afterthought. There’s a proper oven, a propane cooktop, and smart cutouts for a full-size fridge and washer-dryer combo. The bathroom keeps things simple but functional with a shower, sink, and composting toilet tucked neatly into one corner. Every element feels purposeful rather than squeezed in as an afterthought.

For those times when you need extra sleeping space, there’s a loft above the living area that doubles as storage. It’s not the main event like in most tiny houses, just a practical bonus that expands your options. Large windows wrap around the exterior, making the 7.8-foot width feel surprisingly spacious, while the clean, modern design language stays impressive without trying too hard.

But here’s where the Escapada really shines – that tiny deck jutting out the back. Most tiny house builders forget that living small often means wanting to spend more time outdoors. This little platform might be compact, but it extends your living space and gives you a proper spot to sit with morning coffee or evening wine. The whole package sits on a double-axle trailer, keeping it road-legal while maintaining stability.

Tiny Tect is pricing the Escapada at just under $110,000 Australian, which translates to about $71,000 US. That’s not pocket change, but for a fully-equipped home that can go anywhere, it’s competitive. The first model comes loaded with upgrades and will make its debut at Brisbane’s Tiny Homes Expo this October. For anyone ready to downsize without giving up comfort, the Escapada offers something rare in the tiny house world – the first unit is ready for delivery in October, just in time for the Australian tiny house season.
