But Baluchon has shown that this doesn't necessarily need to be the case with the advent of the Tiny House Petillante, which prioritizes kitchen spaciousness. This particular tiny home's entrance takes visitors directly into the kitchen, which comes with an oven as well as a sizeable stove, sink, refrigerator, freezer and capacious amounts of countertop space as well as storage sections. Elsewhere, the tiny home features a stylish living room and a bedroom that is accessed by a removable ladder that can be stashed away on the living room wall when not needed.
