The 'Piwakawaka' is an elegant tiny home that makes use of intelligent and aesthetically informed design to offer a heavy dose of comfort, utility and style in a single-tiered space.
Designed by none other than New Zealand-based company Build Tiny, this particular tiny home is designed to function as the successor to the Dark Horse, which was released in 2020. Like its predecessor, this elegant tiny home is designed on one level entirely, fitting in a living room, bedroom and kitchen into a length of nine meters.
The 'Piwakawaka' tiny home is more than capable of being used in conjunction with a solar panel even though its default setting is to source power from a regular hookup, making it easier for prospective occupants to go about choosing their preferred source of power.
