This Spacious & Thoughtful Tiny Home Is Tailored For Aging Residents & Comfortable Long-Term Living

Dragon Tiny Homes recently designed their largest towable home, moving beyond their typical small and affordable models like the Element. This new unnamed tiny house focuses on allowing its owner to age comfortably and safely in one place. It features a length of 32 ft and is based on a triple-axle trailer. It is finished in blue and white engineered wood, and complemented by two separate entrances. A standard RV-style grid-based hookup powers the home. It is meant to be a full-time residence, where occupants can live peacefully, with amenities that have been tailored for those who are aging.

The main entrance of the home leads directly into a cozy living room, which can accommodate a small sofa, has some storage space, and a spot for a TV. Adjacent to this area is the kitchen, which is more spacious and features a high ceiling. It is equipped with a four-burner propane stove, an oven, a dishwasher, a large fridge/freezer, and a drawer microwave—a microwave designed to fit seamlessly into cabinetry and open like a drawer.

The kitchen also includes a breakfast bar, ample countertops, a farmhouse-style sink, and plenty of cabinetry. From the kitchen, sliding double barn doors open wide to reveal the utility room/bathroom. This room is fitted with a stacked propane-powered washer and dryer, along with two large pantries. The bathroom section includes a shower, a toilet, and a vanity sink.

Situated on the opposite side of the living room is the bedroom. This room can be accessed via the utility room/bathroom and, while it appears quite compact, it offers ample headroom for standing comfortably, owing to its location on the ground floor. The bedroom features a double bed and boasts a direct entrance to the outside, which offers a convenient way for the owner to let her dogs out without hassle.

Leading from the bedroom is a cleverly designed staircase with integrated storage, providing access to the loft. Although a loft might not be the most accessible option for a person who is aging, the staircase is thoughtfully designed with wider and shallower steps to ease the climb. The loft is primarily intended for storage and to accommodate the occasional visitor, rather than serving as a primary sleeping area. This setup ensures that the space remains functional and versatile, catering to a variety of needs without compromising on convenience.

Currently, we have no information on the price of the tiny home. But it is spacious and well-designed, furnished with all the necessities one would need for a comfortable and thoughtful micro-living experience. The home is inclusive, catering to the needs of aging people, and serving as a safe haven, where one can reside without any hassle irrespective of age and activity level.
