In a tiny house market that has increasingly been known to veer into decidedly non-tiny territory with growing footprints and expanding cornucopia of features and amenities, the 'Shanti' tiny home from Simplify Further Tiny Homes is well and truly positioned as an exercise in reduction.
At a base price of $30,000, this affordable tiny house is designed for two people and is built on a 20-foot trailer, keeping the footprint deliberately small without compromising on comfort. At approximately 133 square feet, the interior uses a single-room layout organized around basic functions. A compact kitchen, enclosed bathroom and convertible sleeping area define the space, while finishes remain intentionally plain.
The simplified scale and reliable construction make the 'Shanti' clearly suitable for travel, temporary setups or permanent placement alike.
