D’Arcy and Olivia McNaughton from Toronto, Canada, thought owning a home was unlikely due to their self-employment status. However, as D’Arcy previously built tiny homes, they decided to build one for themselves, their son, and their cat when Olivia became pregnant.

D’Arcy said the house took a long time to build as Olivia was heavily pregnant, and they only had time to work on it after work and on the weekends. However, with hard work and the help of D’Arcy’s brother and dad, they finally got to move into their brand new tiny home located on Olivia’s parent’s land.

With their tiny home, D’Arcy and Olivia are able to devote more time to their businesses and family without the burden of a large mortgage. D’Arcy has since started his own tiny home company, Acorn Tiny Homes, which features his own home, Domek, as one of the flagship models. The starting price for similar homes to Domek is $200,000 CAD (approximately $149,600 USD).

The home is positioned on a 32-foot-long (9.8m) triple-axle trailer. It measures 8.5 feet (2.6m) wide and 13.5 feet (4m) tall. The main floor of the tiny house measures 272 sqft, and with the addition of lofts, the total square footage comes to 420 sqft.

D’Arcy said that standard shed roofs on most tiny homes don’t maximize space, so they chose a barn-style gambrel roof for maximum living space.

The covered-in porch with gorgeous natural wood contrasts beautifully with the black aluminum windows. D’Arcy and Olivia also included a shoe cabinet to keep their home’s interior clutter-free.

Upon entering D’Arcy and Olivia’s home, the washroom is the first area you’ll see. It also doubles as a wardrobe and baby changing station.
