This light-filled tiny house by New Zealand’s Cocoon Tiny Homes features an incredibly spacious and flexible interior layout. Suitable for a small family, it has two bedrooms and space for a home office or gym.
The Long Black (with Loft), to use its full name, is based on a 3-axle trailer and is 12 m (39 ft) long, so it’s on the larger side for a tiny house, making it twice as long. For example, the recent Rudd. As its name suggests, it is finished with black painted iron cladding, topped with a metal roof.
The front entrance of the house consists of double glass doors and opens onto the living room. Includes a sofa and a TV unit with storage. Next to the living room is the kitchen. The example model shown features a two-person breakfast bar, refrigerator/freezer, two-burner propane-powered stove, oven, sink, and a significant amount of cabinetry.

The kitchen leads to a small hallway with a bathroom. Equipped with a sink, shower and flush toilet. Next to the bathroom is a small sub-room with its own entrance consisting of a single glass door leading directly to the outdoors. This room is conceived as a home office, mini-gym or even a children’s room.
Above the spare room is a loft area that can be used for additional storage or as another sleeping area. This is accessed using a removable ladder.
On the other side of the small house is the master bedroom, which has a double bed and some storage, as well as a private entrance consisting of double glass doors that can open to the outside. Being downstairs, there is plenty of headroom to stand upright.
The long black (with loft) retails for NZ$209,000 (approximately US$123,000).
