# Modern Park Model Cabins The Apex is a Park Model Tiny Home for Permanent Living By Amy Duong | Published 2026-07-14 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-apex References: [rovertinyhomes](http://rovertinyhomes.ca/)  The Apex was developed by [Rover Tiny Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rover-tiny-homes-tulameen) as a [park model residence](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-park) designed for long-term placement rather than regular transport. Measuring 492 square feet with an additional 80-square-foot loft, the home combines engineered wood cladding, dark cedar shingles, and a Prolok metal roof with a vaulted interior finished in tongue-and-groove pine and reclaimed barn wood trim. Double glass doors and large A-frame windows maximize natural light, while a fireplace, mini-split system, and insulated walls and floors rated up to R24 and R31 support year-round comfort. The home includes a kitchen with quartz countertops, custom slow-close cabinetry, a four-burner propane cooktop, dishwasher, refrigerator-freezer, and a breakfast bar for three. A separate mud room with its own exterior entrance connects to a bathroom equipped with a full bathtub, vanity, and stacked washer-dryer.
