Cornelia

The Cornelia was developed in collaboration with bestselling author Cornelia Funke as a writer's retreat and creative sanctuary. At 256 sq ft on a 24-foot trailer, it sleeps up to 4 across a king loft with 270-degree panoramic views, accessible by rolling cedar ladder. Interior details such as floating library shelves and a fold-down writing desk reinforce the literary inspiration. The home uses reclaimed hardwood and natural materials throughout. Starts at $185,000; the homepage listed this price and has been used as the canonical figure (an earlier $145,000 figure appears to reflect an older version).

Built in collaboration with Cornelia Funke, the 256 sq ft Cornelia earns its brief: floating library shelves, a fold-down writing desk, and a king loft with 270-degree views via a rolling cedar ladder. Most tiny homes gesture at lifestyle. This one was built for one.
