Cali 9.6 Tiny House Offers Single-Floor Living With Glass Doors to the Outdoors

Cali 9.6 tiny house single-floor layout, Digi Mart USA News: The Cali 9.6, designed by Highlands Tiny Homes, takes a more relaxed approach to tiny living by placing its functions on a single floor that opens to the outside. The home is built on a triple-axle trailer and measures 9.6 m (31.5 ft) long, which the publisher describes as a good size for an Aussie tiny house and mid-sized by North American standards.

The exterior uses light-colored paneled cladding under a metal roof. Sliding glass doors give access to the home and open it to the outdoors, and the publisher notes they would work well with a deck if the owner adds one later.

The generous glazing, open layout and clean timber finish make the interior feel spacious, according to the article, which places the model between a vacation home and a full-time residence.

The living room includes a sofa, a ceiling fan and a mini-split air-conditioning unit, and benefits from plenty of natural light. The publisher suggests a wall-mounted TV or projector as a space-saving alternative to a traditional entertainment center.

There is no bedroom loft, but a ladder provides access to a small crawl space for storage.

The adjacent kitchen includes a sink, induction cooktop, oven and fridge/freezer, along with upper and lower cabinets and a breakfast bar for two that separates it from the living room. The bathroom doubles as a hallway between the living area and bedroom and contains a glass-enclosed shower, a flushing toilet, a vanity sink, a washer/dryer and additional storage.

The bedroom has its own glass doors to the outside and, because it sits on the ground floor, offers enough headroom to stand upright. It holds a double bed, a substantial amount of built-in storage and a second mini-split air-conditioning unit.

The Cali 9.6 is currently listed for sale from AUD 149,900, which the article says is roughly US$100,000, with delivery available throughout Australia.
