People often consider the post-retirement period to be the most boring phase of their life. Not Nathalie, though. The Saint-Quentin resident decided to buy a tiny house so she could experience independence, mobile living, and most importantly the thrill of being young again. A retired woman, Nathalie contacted French tiny house firm Viva Tiny House to build a 21.3 feet tiny home dubbed ‘La Ch’tiny’ tiny house.
Built for a production cost of $80,668 (€75,600), the tiny house features a standing seam aluminum tray for the roof, THT poplar for the cladding, poplar paneling for the interior coverings, and solid chestnut and triple poplar for the fittings. The aluminum windows are resistant to corrosion, rust, and decay, and allow light to enter inside. Interestingly, the tiny house windows come outfitted with sliding shutters so Nathalie can have some privacy.
Visitors enter the home through a sliding glass door into the living room. This has a sofa with integrated storage. Nathalie has also adorned her living room with an array of shelves to house her decorative essentials. An alcove bench is placed near the window. Underneath the bench lies storage space to keep other nitty-gritty essentials. Above is the storage loft that can be used to house heavy items. It is to be noted that storage nooks are scattered throughout the house to prevent a single room from getting cluttered.
Adjacent to the living room is the kitchen. With a wooden countertop, sink, custom cabinetry, a fridge, and a microwave, the kitchen is quite functional. Facing the cabinets is the breakfast bar of the house. Seating two people comfortably, the breakfast bar can be used as a work desk. Nathalie has kept a pull-down ladder close to the breakfast bar so she can access the loft.

Speaking of loft, it is a nice and cozy place to relax and sleep. In addition to functioning as a typical low-ceiling loft bedroom, the loft can also be used as a reading room or dressing area, courtesy of a shelf/closet Natalie has outfitted in the space. Interestingly, Natalie has accoutered the loft with a trap door that offers safety and makes the loft appear big.
At the far end of the home is a bathroom accessed by a sliding door. The old Parisian shutters function as a sliding door and separate the bathroom area from the rest of the house while adding aesthetic value to the interior. The bathroom features a bathtub/shower, toilet, and sink. The La Ch’tiny’ tiny house is a cozy and fancy dwelling perfectly suited for a mobile adventure.
