Aussie creativity is unmatched when it comes to fresh, contemporary tiny home designs with a beachy vibe. The newest model by Uber Tiny Homes was recently displayed at the Brisbane Tiny House Expo 2024, and it's looking for the perfect owner. As a flawless combination of functionality and contemporary style, the Byron cleverly adds both sophisticated and sustainable touches for a truly luxurious experience.
The all-new Byron tiny house was designed with modern couples in mind; its open-concept layout brings people together, while dedicated pockets of privacy were cleverly incorporated for the perfect balance. The versatile bench in the loft bedroom is meant to double as a practical home office and the bedroom itself is spacious enough to double as a comfortable upstairs lounge. As a single-loft house on wheels, the Byron is ideal for couples, yet its surprisingly big and perfectly equipped kitchen makes it more of a family home.
Style-wise, the Byron takes inspiration from the trendy minimalist aesthetic with that unique coastal touch that makes Australian tiny homes so attractive. An all-white color scheme is subtly balanced with golden accents (mainly for the tapware) and natural wood. The open-concept configuration plus an all-white interior is a classic formula for making small dwellings feel much more luminous. Indoor/outdoor spaces are another Aussie specialty, and Byron Tiny uses large windows to create a sense of blurred lines and outdoor expansion.
The wide French doors can easily open up the lounge for a perfect indoor/outdoor experience. The custom-made L-shaped sofa is great for having friends over, but there's more: the special window nook above it turns into a super cozy spot for relaxation. It's great for some quality solo time, and thanks to the huge window, it feels like being out in nature yet still enjoying the comfort of one's home. The lounge design overall is meant to enhance luminosity, which makes it seem even more spacious.
The open-concept layout also means that the lounge and the kitchen/dining area stay connected; this informal design brings people together. There is virtually no separation between the home's main living areas, creating that seamless flow that defines contemporary homes. A back glass door was added to the bathroom; when the bathroom pocket door opens, there's an uninterrupted line of sight from the lounge to this back door; in other words, the configuration was carefully set up to enhance openness and connection it's this fluidity that makes Byron so fresh and modern, along with the beachy vibe and high-quality appliances.
Breakfast bars are a must-have in Aussie tiny homes. In this case, it's an extension of the beautiful Tasmanian Oak countertop. The kitchen is remarkably spacious, with the main appliances on one side and a generous countertop on the other side. Just like a standard family kitchen, it boasts ample storage, including one full-height pantry on each side (one is a pull-out version). The golden sink and tapware add a luxurious touch to this elegant and modern design. There's a separate area for a full-size fridge, and right next to it, you'll find the staircase storage.
The Byron Tiny has only one bedroom, accessed via a built-in staircase with a good-quality handrail for extra support. The landing makes this room much more comfortable and easy to access than a typical loft, and it's also meant to ensure a comfortable standing height – the landing section can be customized to fit each owner. Plus, the staircase can also be customized for greater comfort. There's enough room for a king-sized bed, and three windows keep the space bathed in natural light and fresh air.
One of the most ingenious features of this bedroom is the built-in "lounge" area with a compact bench that can be used as a home office. This clever nook is flanked by storage cabinets. The beautiful slated wooden railing doubles as a safety wall without blocking the view. Another great addition is the planter box outside the safety wall for a much-needed green touch – a small but effective way to literally breathe life into this home.
You know a tiny home is luxurious when one of the best spots inside is the bathroom. Unlike the small and modest versions offered by other tiny homes, this bathroom looks more like a luxurious spa. The full-size vanity with a beautiful top offers abundant storage, and the spacious shower cabin stands out due to the aqua-green Italian tile; together with the golden accents, it creates a truly glamorous look.
An eco-friendly incinerator toilet is the final touch that adds sustainability to this overall luxurious design. Last but not least, the glass back door is a practical addition that ties back to the seamless blend of openness and privacy, and it also adds a boost of natural light to the bathroom.
Another ingenious feature is the LED strip lighting all across the home, including underneath the kitchen cabinets, along the handrail, and in the loft area. It's not just for the glamorous look, but it's also better for the eyes in a living place with low ceilings. Plus, it's dimmable, which makes it easy to control the intensity and set the mood.
This sparkling new tiny home is a ready-made abode waiting for its owners. It's 8.4 meters long (27.5 feet), 3 meters wide (9.8 feet), and equipped for long-term accommodation. Pricing for the standard design starts at AUD 165,000 ($110,400), but the final cost will depend largely on the level of customization.
