Welcome to the Bard Owl tiny house, a spacious and innovative dwelling measuring 34 feet in length and boasting an impressive 10-foot width for that extra roominess. This tiny house is not your average abode, as it features a ground floor bedroom without the hassle of stairs or lofts, making it incredibly accessible and practical. Designed as a legal accessory dwelling unit on Vancouver Island, the Bard Owl prioritizes a clean exterior, septic connection, and cost-conscious decisions without compromising on style or functionality. With a combination of metal and cedar exterior and standing seam metal roofing, this tiny house stands out with its modern and sleek finish.
Inside, the Bard Owl is insulated with 2-lb close cell spray foam for optimal energy efficiency. The living room is equipped with a pull-out bed, fireplace, and low wattage electric heaters, ensuring comfort and coziness in a compact space. The galley-style kitchen features butcher block countertops and full-size residential appliances, striking a balance between functionality and style. In the bathroom, a full-height ceiling, massive shower, and combo washer dryer enhance the luxurious feel of the space, while the bedroom offers ample room for a king-size bed and additional heating source for ultimate comfort.
Cost-conscious decisions were made throughout the design process, including the use of pine tongue and groove walls and a simple roof line to keep expenses in check. Despite its affordability, the Bard Owl tiny house is a valuable investment, with tiny homes like these holding or even increasing in value over time. Ground floor bedrooms have seen a surge in popularity, catering not only to those with mobility issues but also to individuals seeking comfort and convenience.
