Most tiny homes are upfront about their limitations. The Florence isn’t interested in that conversation. The Florence, by Alberta-based Teacup Tiny Homes, is the argument against all of that. Sitting on a triple-axle trailer, the Florence stretches 36 feet long and 8.5 feet wide, placing it at the roomier end of the towable tiny home spectrum. Its 355 square feet of interior space is arranged with the kind of logic you’d expect from a full-size home — not an afterthought. That discipline in planning is what separates it from the crowd.
Step inside and the first thing you notice is light. White tongue-and-groove paneling wraps the walls, 11-foot vaulted ceilings push the space upward, and generous windows pull the outdoors in. The living area anchors the layout, centered around a sofa and electric fireplace, with room for a television and a large built-in storage unit near the entrance. It doesn’t read like a compromise. It reads like a considered home.
Designer:
Immediately adjacent is one of Florence’s more thoughtful touches — a dining nook that doubles as a home office, complete with an extending desk and integrated storage. For remote workers or anyone who needs a dedicated workspace without sacrificing a room, this dual-function zone is quietly brilliant. The kitchen runs along the galley wall nearby, equipped with a four-burner propane stove, oven, microwave, fridge/freezer, a large sink, and storage that actually holds things.
The master bedroom is located on the main floor, which is rarer than it should be in the tiny home world. Positioned next to the living area, it fits a double bed with genuine walking clearance on both sides and enough built-in storage to feel like a real room. A secondary sleeping loft sits above the kitchen and bathroom, accessed by a removable wooden ladder, offering space for a second double bed. The bathroom, tucked between the kitchen and bedroom, features a glass-enclosed shower, flushing toilet, and vanity sink.
Teacup Tiny Homes, a 100% female-owned and operated company founded in 2016, offers the Florence with a range of customization options — a soaking tub in place of the shower, choice of materials and furnishings, and permanent foundation installation if mobility isn’t the priority. Delivery runs across both the US and Canada. The Florence starts at roughly US $122,000. For a home this size, it’s a number that’s easier to justify than it might first appear.
