  • The Zenia Tiny House was designed and hand-crafted by Zyl Tiny Homes, especially for Caravan - The Tiny House Hotel, in Portland, OR, USA. You can book a stay in this house at: www.tinyhousehotel.com
    The entire front facade of this house is done in handblown stained glass. When the sun shines in, it is magic.

    Such a beautiful design and that it is wheelchair accessible and handicap friendly are two very important qualities I have been looking for. I am disabled due to spinal injuries and have to use either a rolling walker or my wheelchair depending on the situation and how I am doing on a given day. Thank you for sharing your incredible work and showing that you can do a tiny house for people in situations like mine. ❤️👍🏻😍

    @lbluebird486 Před 6 lety

    Gorgeous home. I love that it is wheelchair accessible, however, I think one thing was overlooked when considering :wheelchairs, "the kitchen sink or any sink", the wheelchair can get under the counter but how can they wash dishes? I know because I've tried and it strains the spine terribly!!! when leaning forward to reach the sink, spigots or anything that is out of reaching distance and being SHORT, almost everything is, including cabinets, which have always been one of my biggest pet peeves in homes and apts. Always too high and too far away to reach the corner ones, so I only get one level of cabinet use normally, sometimes 2 with a reacher type gadget, The countertop and sink are so beautiful. Like the bars by the commode, very needed and helpful, as is the seat in the shower. If I may give you one tip for the future, consult the communty or city office for "handicap building regs or tips", even ask a person who is handicap. They will appreciate being asked for their opinion. I know I would. Good luck!!

      To be honest, I am happy to answer comments about accessibility. It IS a great challenge to design a tiny house (which is very compact, by nature) and also allow for accessibility norms (which need room, by nature). I welcome the feedback. And just to be fair, this particular structure was built for Caravan, a tiny house hotel in Portland OR. Some parts of it are convertible to accommodate someone in a wheelchair. However, because of the city mandated size limit, it could not meet all ADA guidelines.
