The Long Shed costs around £135,000 (US$170,000), depending on options chosen

Scotland's Echo recently completed a new tiny house named the Long Shed. Featuring a fully off-the-grid setup, the dwelling connects to the outside with a large sliding glass door and deck, and sports an open layout inside, all arranged on one floor.

The Long Shed is based on a triple-axle trailer. It has a length of 10.7 m (35 ft) and a width of 3.15 m (10 ft). Due to its large dimensions and UK towing laws, the model shown was transported to its rural site on the back of a large truck and then towed into position. An Echo representative told us that a road-towable version should also be possible.

The exterior is finished in corrugated tin with a rubberized coating and is defined by its generous glazing. However, it can also be totally closed up using sliding shutters when not in use, making it resemble a simple agricultural shed. Visitors enter the home through a stowable gangway and rear entrance, plus a deck next to the large sliding door offers some additional outdoor living space.

Its 28 sq m (roughly 300 sq ft) of floorspace is arranged around an open plan living area clad in unfinished timber. A wood-burning stove provides interior heat. A kitchen is nearby and includes a two-burner propane-powered stove, oven, fridge, sink, and cabinetry.
