355-Sq-Ft Tiny Home Fits Office and Downstairs Bedroom
A Canadian tiny house builder just solved one of the biggest challenges of small-space living: fitting a home office and a ground-floor bedroom into just 355 square feet. The Florence proves you don't need to sacrifice comfort or functionality to downsize.
Teacup Tiny Homes has created a tiny house that feels anything but cramped. Their newest model, the Florence, packs a full kitchen, home office, bathroom, and downstairs bedroom into a 36-foot towable home that's changing how people think about small-space living.
The Florence sits on a triple-axle trailer and measures 355 square feet inside. Despite its compact size, the layout feels open and airy thanks to high ceilings, generous windows, and white tongue-and-groove paneling that reflects natural light throughout the space.
The floor plan centers around a spacious living area with a sofa, electric fireplace, and room for a TV. A clever dining area doubles as a home office with an extending desk and built-in storage, perfect for the growing number of people working from home.
The galley-style kitchen doesn't skimp on amenities. It features a full-size oven, four-burner propane stove, microwave, fridge-freezer, and a deep sink. Extra storage includes a wardrobe unit and plenty of cabinets along both walls.
Here's where the Florence stands out: the master bedroom sits on the main floor instead of squeezed into a loft. That means full headroom for standing and moving around the double bed, plus generous storage space. It's a game-changer for anyone who struggles with ladder climbing or tight sleeping quarters.

A second bedroom perches in a loft above the kitchen and bathroom area, accessed by a removable wooden ladder. This smaller space still fits a double bed, making the Florence work for couples, small families, or anyone who needs a guest room.
The bathroom includes all the essentials: a glass-enclosed shower, flushing toilet, and vanity sink. A sliding door saves precious floor space while maintaining privacy.
Why This Inspires
The Florence represents a shift in tiny house design. For years, the movement asked people to adapt to cramped lofts and sacrifice basic comforts. Now builders are proving you can have both efficiency and livability in a small footprint.
The home starts at $122,000 USD and comes with customization options including a bathtub instead of shower, choice of materials, and the ability to install it on a permanent foundation. Teacup Tiny Homes delivers throughout the US and Canada, making downsized living accessible to more people.
As housing costs continue climbing and remote work becomes standard, creative solutions like the Florence show there's another path forward that doesn't mean giving up the spaces we need to live well.
