Why aren’t lofts full height?
Lofts are optional upgrade and not included in the official 399 sq ft living space. To qualify as true living space, the loft would require a staircase built to full building code standards. In all of our homes, the main bedroom is always located on the first floor — so we view lofts as bonus storage or an extra occasional sleeping area.
Additionally, both the loft and main floor can’t have full ceiling heights because of strict shipping height regulations. Our tallest tiny home maxes out at 16 feet to comply with transport limits.
