Unlike American builders, Canadian tiny house companies have stock of a handful of base models that they customize to suit a wide clientele. These upgraded versions of the original dwellings receive so much love that it is hard not to talk about them. Not to quote Barney Stinson from How I Met Your Mother, but surely “new is always better.” And the new Sitka tiny house by British Columbia-based Summit Tiny Homes proves exactly why that is true.
Arguably, all eyes in the tiny house industry are zoomed in on the builders from America and the land down under but now Canadian builders are also leaving their mark inconspicuously. The subtle and impressive designs from Canada-based tiny house companies like Summit have been providing North Americans with affordable micro-dwellings for a while now.
The Sitka is one of the most popular micro-dwellings by Summit Tiny Homes. Right up there with its Hummingbird model. The popularity of Sitka prompted the builder to launch another version of this tiny house with larger windows, perfected layout, an upgraded kitchen and bathroom. While the original Sitka was decent home, the new iteration, dubbed the Sitka 2.0 tiny house, allows the dwellers to enjoy the vast surroundings thanks to the larger windows that make the original installations look kiddish.
The layout is pretty much the same: there is a living room, a dining area next to it, a storage staircase leading to the loft bedroom, a kitchen, a walkthrough bathroom, and a master bedroom. But the difference lies in the elusive details that are easy to miss.
The kitchen, for example, includes a microwave/range hood installed above the cooktop in well-built open cabinet, whereas the earlier version had everything strewn about and missing one microwave and overhead cabinets. It also includes a dishwasher space for the ease of doing the dishes, which wasn’t included in the original model. The new bathroom gets a bold makeover with a shower screen, beautiful green tile walls, more windows, and an ebony sink.

The master bedroom looks almost the same, except for the addition of larger windows, making it feel more open and breathable. In the main living space, the Sitka 2.0 tiny house adds wooden beams to the ceiling, which add to its nuanced appeal. Last but not least, the loft gets a privacy wall instead of a railing and a skylight for stargazing.
Fairly subtle, but these upgrades truly make this house a home that people would actually want to live in. The 34-foot-long tiny house on wheels is priced at CAD 208,000, roughly USD 155,500. If you were to invest in this micro-dwelling, which one would you prefer, the original or the Sitka 2.0?
