Tucked away near the rolling greenery of Colorado Springs, the Odyssee tiny house invites you to slow down and savor life’s quiet moments. It’s the kind of eco-friendly home that reminds you less really can be more — not just in space, but in stress.
A Compact Wonder of Design
Built by the talented team at Baluchon, this 20-foot masterpiece is more than just a dwelling; it’s a thoughtful blend of artistry and practicality. Every inch serves a purpose, balancing openness with privacy. The clever twist? The living area is slightly elevated, creating a cozy guest room beneath it — perfect for visitors who don’t mind compact comfort (though you might have to fight your friends over who gets that spot — it’s surprisingly snug!).
Nature-Inspired Materials
From the outside, the Odyssee feels both timeless and modern. Its exterior mixes warm red cedar with Yakisugi-treated Douglas fir — a traditional Japanese wood-charring technique that adds character, durability, and a subtle smoky aroma. The entryway is gently recessed, forming a small covered porch that offers shelter from the rain while giving the home a welcoming touch. On each side, large triangular windows capture daylight and encourage cross-ventilation, keeping the air fresh and the mood bright.
Small-Scale Comfort, Big Functionality
Step inside, and you’re greeted by the kind of simplicity that feels luxurious. The kitchen, though petite, has everything you need: a sleek sink, a compact stove, and a fold-down dining table that disappears into the wall when it’s time to stretch out. Light wood tones and soft natural light make the space feel calm and open. Upstairs, the elevated lounge is perfect for reading, journaling, or watching the rain streak down the windows — a daily reminder that home can be a feeling, not a size.
A Life Measured by Meaning, Not Square Feet
The Odyssee tiny house embodies what so many dream of: freedom from clutter, connection with nature, and the joy of living intentionally. It’s designed for those who value mindful living — for people who’d rather count sunsets than square footage. This little haven shows how thoughtful design can create beauty and balance even in the smallest spaces.
Whether parked in the forest, by the coast, or at the edge of a city, the Odyssee is more than an eco-friendly home — it’s a lifestyle statement. It whispers, “slow down, breathe, and find peace in the small things.”
