As you enter The Turtle tiny house, you first notice the large living room space, equipped with a small gas heater and area for seating. To the left is a small office room with two closets for storage and enough room to convert into a first floor bedroom.
To the right of entering the house is the kitchen. The kitchen has two counter top spaces with room to walk in-between. On one side of the kitchen are where your refrigerator and stove top would be located, and the other side a sink, and oven with a washer dryer combo located underneath. There are cabinets and drawers and shelves for all of your kitchen accessories.
As you walk through the kitchen, located on the far end of the tiny house, is the bathroom. This bathroom is equipped with a full size shower, and septic, or compost toilet.
Above the first floor bedroom/office, is another large sleeping loft with an above sky light, which is accessed with a removable ladder. This ladder will also be used for the storage area loft that is located on the opposite side of the house above the bathroom.
