XL model

This tiny house sleeps eight and still feels like a real apartment

Eight people in a tiny house sounds like a dare, but this XL model pulls it off by feeling more like an apartment on wheels than a game of sardines. The secret is a clever layout that keeps the living space roomy, as long as a couple are happy to claim the sofa bed and call it roughing it. That's the razor clam detail right there: the unglamorous honesty that makes the whole thing work. It's not a magic trick, it's a trade-off, and Spoot respects that.
