Tiny House With Rooftop Terrace Expands Living Space

Finding space to stretch out in a tiny house just got easier with a design that literally thinks outside the box.

Backcountry Tiny Homes created The Park, a 30-foot tiny house that features something rare in compact living: a rooftop terrace. The outdoor space sits above the main structure, complete with removable railings that make the home easy to transport.

The terrace opens up new possibilities for tiny house residents who often struggle with hosting friends or enjoying outdoor time. It's perfect for morning coffee, evening barbecues, or just getting some fresh air without leaving home. Accessed by ladder when parked, the space transforms what could feel cramped into something more expansive.

Inside, The Park packs impressive functionality into its compact footprint. The open layout includes a living room with an L-shaped sofa bed, a wood-burning stove, and air conditioning for year-round comfort. Large windows flood the space with natural light, making it feel bigger than its square footage suggests.

The center dining nook doubles as a home office, perfect for remote workers. The kitchen offers full-size amenities including a two-burner stove, fridge, microwave, and ample storage. A glass-enclosed shower, vanity, and choice of incinerating or flushing toilet complete the bathroom.

The loft bedroom features a double bed accessed by stairs built with integrated storage. Every inch serves a purpose, with clever storage nooks tucked throughout the house.

The Bright Side

The Park shows how thoughtful design can solve real challenges in compact living. By adding vertical space through the rooftop terrace, it creates gathering areas that tiny houses typically sacrifice. The home proves downsizing doesn't mean giving up the joy of hosting friends or enjoying outdoor living.

With prices ranging from $72,200 for a basic shell to $136,100 turnkey, The Park offers entry points for different budgets. The triple-axle trailer base means owners can relocate when needed while maintaining a comfortable full-time residence.

Small living continues evolving beyond just cramming essentials into tight quarters—it's about creating homes that truly support how people want to live.
