Shaye's Hazel, a creation of Tiny Topanga in collaboration with Shaye’s Tiny Homes from New Zealand, redefines the concept of tiny home living. It brings to life a design that seamlessly blends functionality with compact elegance. The Hazel model, with its 8.5-foot width, is a testament to efficient and stylish living, offering a unique combination of an entertaining space and a separate area for work or hosting guests.
Upon entering Shaye's Hazel, the intelligent use of space is immediately apparent. The home is divided into areas for socializing and privacy, ensuring that each part of the tiny house is maximized. The entertainment space is inviting, designed for gatherings and relaxation, while the adjacent section serves as a flexible area for work or accommodating guests, demonstrating the home’s versatile nature.
The kitchen, forming the core of the house, is fully equipped and thoughtfully laid out. It extends into a dining area that can comfortably fit over six people, providing a seamless transition between indoor and outdoor dining experiences. This space is not just for cooking but also for coming together, making it a central part of the home.
The design includes an innovative upstairs walkway that connects two full bedrooms. This feature adds an element of separation between the living areas and the bedrooms, ensuring privacy. The bedrooms, despite the home’s compact size, are comfortable and peaceful, offering a quiet escape.
In the bathroom, the choice between a flush or compost toilet caters to different lifestyles and environmental considerations. The design of this space is a balance between practicality and style, emphasizing the home's overall theme of smart living.
One of the standout features of Shaye’s Hazel is the second trailer, which can be used as an outdoor office or guest room. This addition enhances the functionality of the home, providing extra space that can be adapted to various needs.
Shaye's Hazel is more than just a house; it's a carefully crafted home. Every aspect of its design reflects a commitment to creating a space that is both practical and comfortable. It showcases how tiny homes can offer a full and rich living experience, making every inch of space count and proving that thoughtful design can turn small spaces into desirable homes.
We find Shaye's Hazel, a collaboration between Tiny Topanga and Shaye’s Tiny Homes, to be quite impressive in its approach to tiny living. The layout smartly divides the living and private spaces, which we appreciate. The kitchen and dining area are well-designed, offering more space than one might expect in a tiny home. Upstairs, the bedrooms connected by a walkway are a clever use of space. The additional trailer, serving as an office or guest room, adds to its functionality. Overall, we believe Shaye's Hazel is a thoughtfully designed tiny home, and for those interested in compact living, it's certainly worth considering.
