Canada-based company Instead Tiny Homes is fairly new on the downsized housing scene and has only a model or two to offer. The offerings may be few, but they by no means are small or little. Meet P01, Instead’s first tiny house on wheels with an attractive layout exuding Scandinavian and Japanese minimalism charm. The compact abode includes a walkthrough bathroom, a ground-floor bedroom, a sleek kitchen, a loft bedroom, and a spacious living room topped with two operable skylights.
Measuring 32-foot-long and 8.5-foot-wide, the P01 tiny house sits on a triple-axle trailer and can be towed along if you need. The house is specifically designed for Canadian climes. Therefore, the walls, the ceiling, and the floor all are insulated using an assortment of mineral wool, EPS, XPS, and closed-cell spray foam to keep the micro-dwelling warm and cozy even in the harshest winters of the Great White North.
The P01 tiny house is designed as a self-sufficient abode with the inclusion of off-grid systems like 4000W solar and battery storage, 2000-gallon fresh and waste water storage, a backup system, and above-ground heating. The off-grid capacity depends on client preference as this micro-dwelling is custom-made, or you can opt out of these systems and live on the grid.
The dark, moody corrugated steel exterior is broken by big windows and a big sliding glass door. Inside, a clean space is efficient and designed with intentional material choices. The sliding glass door opens into the living room.

It is a minimalistic area and features a built-in seating arrangement, which can be swapped for a convertible couch to accommodate additional sleeping space. The living room has a picture window and a 13.5-foot-high ceiling, making it airy and roomy. It can also fit a coffee table, a couple of side tables, and an entertainment unit.
A multifunctional ladder is placed in the living room, leading to the loft bedroom. The ladder doubles as a shelving unit where you can keep books or cooking essentials to be accessible from the adjacent kitchen. The loft sits above the kitchen and has a skylight and built-in storage cubbies. It can be used as a cozy reading nook or a sleeping station.
The kitchen is compact and includes clever storage solutions. It features a refrigerator, a two-burner cooktop, an oven, a range hood, stainless steel countertops, sleek under-counter cabinets, and overhead shelves. The small kitchen provides ample space to prepare gourmet meals for the family. A pantry step drawer is designed to snuggly fit under the elevated bathroom floor.

Tucked behind a pocket door, the walkthrough bathroom has a shower stall, toilet, vanity sink, medicine cabinet, utility closet, and washer/dryer unit. The main-floor bedroom sits at the rear of the house and is accessible through the bathroom. The bedroom fits a queen-size bed and has two casement windows, a closet, and a skylight.
Priced $118,000, the P01 tiny house is perfect for a small family. Although the price tag may seem ridiculously high, the exquisite materials and premium amenities make the investment worth it.

Love this it’s only me that will be staying here… But if you live in a city like Los Angeles where would this fit on the street or would you have to put it in a lot?
Hi Andrea, thank you for reading Homecrux. You will have to get a lot in the city to place this tiny house.
