Choose any paint color. Choose your own fixture finish (brushed nickel, gold, rose gold, chrome, black, oil-rubbed bronze) and style as long as it meets the RVIA's standards. Engineered flooring is standard: it's durable, beautiful, and pictured in all our models. Please inquire about more options.

The Arcadia is able to be hooked up to utilities, such as an extension cord for power and a town sewer or septic system for fresh and waste water, or go completely off-grid with the addition of solar panels-- solar energy systems for tiny houses can cost anywhere between $3500-10,000, depending on your capacity needs.  There are fresh and black water tanks hidden beneath the futon for times you are off-grid or for cold days so you'll still have water if the hose freezes.  The heating and cooling minisplit unit (the compressor is outside, over the tongue of the trailer and the air handler is inside, above the kitchen door).  This tiny house was built to withstand extreme four-season weather conditions and has energy-efficient windows, insulation, and appliances.

The sleeping loft has a Queen size bed with a little extra floor space, and 360 degree views from bed.  The downstairs sofa is a futon which transforms into a full size bed, so the Arcadia can comfortably sleep up to 4.

Three skylights and multiple picture windows fill the space with light from all sides.  The ceiling is reclaimed barn wood and the floor is a durable vinyl, chosen to match the colors of the ceiling.

Premium fixtures and materials in the bathroom include a rain shower head, subway tiled shower, and a full-size macerating toilet which looks and flushed just like a regular toilet, but turns solid and liquid waste into an emulsion, making waste disposal much easier.

The kitchen has poured concrete counter tops, a three burner gas stove and oven, under-counter refrigerator drawers, a remote-controlled heating and cooling system, and a built-in Bluetooth audio system controlled by your phone.

The shiplap wood exterior is preserved using the Japanese woodburning technique of Shou Sugi Ban.  This technique protects against bugs, rot, and fire and although it has been in practice in Japan for many years, has recently become popular in the United States.

The Arcadia is RVIA Certified.
