Tucked away on the quiet outskirts of Denver, Colorado, this enchanting 185-square-foot tiny house—aptly named Escapade—captures the essence of mindful simplicity. Designed by the French artisans at Baluchon, it’s a small-space masterpiece that proves how thoughtful design can turn minimal square footage into a world of light, warmth, and comfort.
A Serene Haven in Miniature
At just 185 square feet, Escapade is the kind of place that invites you to slow down, breathe deeply, and reconnect with the rhythm of nature. Its striking split roofline and four expansive windows flood the interior with natural light, creating an airy sense of spaciousness that belies its modest footprint. Along the front façade, a trio of tiered windows forms a visual centerpiece—almost like a living painting that changes with the passing of the day.
Thoughtful Design & Natural Materials
Every inch of Escapade has been crafted with intention. The layout centers around a warm, open living space that faces the large windows, offering panoramic views and a deep sense of openness. The L-shaped staircase—a hallmark of Baluchon’s clever craftsmanship—serves a dual purpose, concealing ample storage beneath each step while leading gracefully up to the cozy bedroom loft.
Throughout the home, natural wood tones dominate. From the solid beams in the kitchen to the handcrafted dining table and the polished stair treads, the craftsmanship exudes warmth and authenticity. The subtle grain of the wood pairs beautifully with the light streaming through the windows, creating a tranquil, organic atmosphere that feels both rustic and refined.
Compact Comforts & Smart Living
Despite its tiny footprint, Escapade offers everything needed for comfortable daily living. The kitchen is compact yet functional, featuring a two-burner stove, mini refrigerator, and thoughtful shelving for essentials. The layout encourages slow, mindful cooking—a reminder that simplicity can bring joy to even the smallest routines.
The living area is cozy and inviting, perfect for curling up with a book or sharing a quiet moment with a cup of coffee. Upstairs, the loft bedroom feels like a serene nest among the trees, thanks to the split roofline and gentle flow of natural light. You might even have to call “dibs” on the loft—it’s that irresistibly snug!
Living Small, Feeling Free
Escapade embodies what tiny house living is all about: freedom from excess, a closer connection to nature, and the beauty of intentional design. Each element—every beam, window, and carefully measured corner—invites you to live more mindfully and appreciate the harmony between space and simplicity.
This eco-friendly home isn’t just a place to live; it’s a philosophy wrapped in wood and sunlight—a reminder that a smaller home can open the door to a bigger, more fulfilling life.
