This Modern Two-Bedroom Tiny Home Hides One of the Finest Kitchen Designs

Even from a distance, The Traveller catches the eye with its majestic silhouette and ample glazing – huge windows create a sense of transparency and connection to the outdoors without disrupting the home’s vintage-style cozy ambiance. Inside this private sanctuary, anyone would instantly feel at home and connected to their natural surroundings at the same time. It’s not the biggest model by Tiny Build – the Adventurer boasts a nine-meter (29.5 feet) length – but it is, perhaps, the most balanced. A seven-meter (22.9 feet) length is often one of the most popular options precisely because of that.

A bold, contemporary kitchen sits at the center of The Traveller, and it fully deserves the spotlight. The main kitchen furniture is not too big in itself, but it connects to a custom-designed staircase to one side and a versatile breakfast bar to the other side; this mimics the look and advantages of a U-shaped kitchen within the limits of a much smaller floor space.

The staircase with integrated storage is one of the most ingenious elements of this layout. Normally, with dual-loft tiny homes, you’d expect to see either a staircase facing the kitchen and a separate ladder or a split staircase. By connecting the two bedrooms via a built-in walkway, the entire configuration changed. It was then possible to add only one staircase to access both rooms and cleverly integrate it into the kitchen design instead of separating them.

This staircase becomes part of the kitchen, with various-sized cupboards built into the threads. Together with the classic ones underneath the countertop, this ensures generous storage in line with the home’s overall size. The breakfast bar is also atypical in terms of design and placement. The original design features a separating wall that adds stability and privacy, turning this into more of a home office desk/breakfast bar. There’s enough room for two bar stools and an abundance of natural light coming from all sides, thanks to the clever placement.

The Australian builder has taken the next step by teaming up with a local digital creator to build a customized, fully outfitted version of The Traveller. Whitney Spicer’s mission was to create an interior that was both “homely and stylish,” and she did a great job. The real-life Traveller tiny house exudes peacefulness and a sense of comfort through retro-style décor and carefully added cozy touches.

In the designer version of the Traveller, the kitchen was slightly modified to enhance its uniqueness. In one of the corners, a cupboard was removed and replaced with a small bar stool – a simple yet ingenious way to create a cozy sitting area. The separating wall was also removed for a more open feel overall. This makes the breakfast bar look more traditional and less like a home office. Plus, it becomes a great reading spot with a more intimate ambiance.

In the original version, the sofa is placed against the side wall, which would allow a convertible model to stretch into a bed easily. The styled version features a more traditional placement of the sofa in the center of the lounge area, right under the large windows. Once again, this simple change, together with the specific décor items and additional furniture, helps create a cozier, homely ambiance.

The grid-like structure of the walkway handrail keeps the loft area open and safe at the same time. The bedrooms get plenty of light thanks to the large, sliding windows. There’s a beautiful view of the entire house from upstairs, which creates the illusion of a much bigger, open house. The ingenious staircase/walkway solution saves a ton of space while providing comfortable access, even for those who would typically not prefer loft bedrooms.

Last but not least, The Traveller’s bathroom also offers greater spaciousness and storage than those of compact tiny homes. The classic vanity is extended into a luxury version, and there’s enough room left on the opposite wall for a generous linen closet with open shelves (a washing machine can also be incorporated here). The styled bathroom comes complete with a built-in medicine cabinet (with mirrored doors), a conventional toilet, and a full-size shower with a glass sliding door.
