Most tiny homes with lofts follow a similar formula—sleeping area up top, living area below. But the Durango by Homestead Tiny House Co. flips the script. This compact 240-square-foot home puts the living space in the loft and the bedroom on the main floor, making for a unique layout that caters to comfort and accessibility while still embracing the tiny lifestyle.
Built on a 24-foot trailer, the Durango is a road-legal tiny house on wheels designed with full-time living in mind. Whether you’re downsizing for good, exploring nomadic life, or just looking for an affordable backyard studio or guest house, this model offers a lot of livability in a very small footprint.

A Clever Layout That Prioritizes Comfort
One of the most appealing aspects of the Durango is its reverse loft design. Instead of squeezing a mattress into a cramped loft, the bedroom is located on the main floor at the back of the home. It comfortably fits a full-size bed with a nightstand, storage cubbies, and a sliding door for privacy. For anyone tired of climbing ladders—or simply looking for a cozier sleep setup—this layout is a refreshing shift.
Upstairs, the loft is transformed into a sunny lounge area with a built-in sectional sofa, upper storage, and views from multiple windows. It’s a perfect space for reading, relaxing, or watching a show from a mounted TV. The added elevation makes this living area feel tucked away yet open, especially with the abundance of natural light.
Full Kitchen & Bathroom
Despite the small footprint, the Durango doesn’t skimp on the essentials. The kitchen includes an apartment-size fridge, a 4-burner cooktop, a deep stainless steel sink, and plenty of cabinets for storage. There’s enough counter space to prep meals comfortably, and the open shelving keeps things feeling airy.
The bathroom features a residential-style tile shower, flush toilet, and modern vanity. Even in just 240 sqft, this space manages to feel full-sized.
Tiny Living, Thoughtfully Done
The Durango proves that you don’t need a traditional layout to make a tiny home feel functional. By bringing the living space upstairs and placing the bed on the main level, it offers accessibility without sacrificing coziness or design.
Whether parked full-time or hitched to the back of a truck for seasonal moves, the Durango is a compelling option for tiny house dwellers looking for a fresh layout.
