| Although its roughly 500-square-foot footprint may look tiny from the outside, the one-bedroom, one-bath abode lives well for its size. |
|
 |
| Even in downsized homes, main spaces such as the kitchen still retain comparable dimensions to other homes. Here, the kitchen has plenty of counter space for prep work as well as dining. |
|
 |
| Higher-quality amenities, such as the double oven and other stainless steel appliances shown here, were key in the construction of this cabin to show that small, but nice, is an affordable option. |

 |
| For small homes, efficient design is essential to keeping the home compact but liveable. "We've taken away a lot of the single-purpose rooms," owner JR Thompson notes. "We just have one room out front for living, dining and cooking &mdash it's very multifunctional." A gas heater supplies most of the heat for the building. |
|
 |
| To maximize space, JR constructed various pieces of built-in furniture to maximize space. The bedroom features a dresser system under the bed for storage. |
|
 |
| JR omitted one of the bedrooms from the original design to expand the bedroom and bathroom and create a more luxurious space, emphasized by the granite-topped Jack-and-Jill vanity shown here. |
|
 |
| One of the tricks to small-home design is using outdoor space to make the home feel larger. "We tried to make the outdoor living area as big as possible," JR claims. The home also includes a 16-by-20-foot garage. |
