What do you look for in a tiny house? If it’s the ability to hit the road on a whim, then the Samuel probably isn’t for you. However, if you’d prefer a stationary but remarkably practical home that’s suitable for long-term living, then this one might be a good fit.
The Samuel is designed by Craft House – which operates in Poland, Austria, and Ireland. It’s finished in engineered wood and metal. Its length of 10 m (32 ft) makes it significantly larger than average for a Euro model, while its extra width of 3.2 m (10.6 ft) boosts floorspace even further and allows the kind of open and roomy interior that you’re unlikely to find in a towable tiny house.

The home’s ground floor measures 26 sq m (280 sq ft) and is dominated by a large living room with a high ceiling. It opens up to the outside with expansive sliding glass doors. The room contains a two-person sofa bed and an entertainment center, while its wooden interior lends it an almost cabin-like feel. The open layout places the kitchen nearby. This is equipped with a sink, an induction cooktop, an oven, a fridge/freezer, and even a dishwasher, which is a definite bonus even in a larger tiny house like this. A breakfast bar seating area is also installed.
Situated behind the kitchen is the bathroom. It’s relatively large for a tiny house and includes a shower, a vanity sink, and a washer/dryer. A floating toilet – meaning that the bowl is mounted to the wall and the cistern and plumbing are hidden from view – is a notable high-end addition too.
On the opposite side of the home to the living room lies the master bedroom. Thanks to its ground-floor position it provides ample headroom to stand upright, plus it has a double bed, a wardrobe, and some additional storage.
There’s a secondary bedroom in the Samuel too. This is positioned up in the mezzanine loft and accessed by the same novel folding staircase seen in the firm’s Katrin home that can be stowed away when not in use. Though it might seem a little fussy, it enables a much more spacious layout in the living room than would otherwise be possible with the typical storage-integrated stairs. The bedroom itself has a low ceiling and space for a double bed and some storage.

The Samuel is built to order and has lots of optional extras available, including choice of materials used and a full off-grid setup complete with solar panels and batteries. It’s up for sale from PLN 260,000 (US$72,000). We’ve no word on delivery, so those interested are advised to contact the firm directly.
