Looking for a tiny home with more usable space, better separation, and no stairs? The Coolum 10×3 is designed for single-level living, with a separate living area, central kitchen and study nook, private bedroom, and practical storage — all within a 10m × 3m footprint.
Tiny living does not have to mean squeezing every part of life into one room.
The new Coolum 10×3 has been designed for people who want the simplicity and flexibility of a tiny home but still want spaces that feel like proper rooms. At 10 metres long and 3 metres wide, the Coolum provides more room to move while keeping the compact footprint that makes tiny-home living appealing.

What makes the Coolum 10×3 different?
The biggest difference is the single-level layout. There is no loft bedroom. No stairs. And no need to climb over furniture to move from one part of the home to another.
Instead, the Coolum is organised into distinct zones:
- Living: A generous front lounge area.
- Kitchen: A functional central kitchen with full-size appliance space.
- Work: A dedicated study nook.
- Bathroom: Centrally positioned for convenient access.
- Bedroom: A private rear bedroom with a Queen-size bed.
- Storage: Full-width overhead storage for less-used belongings.
This separation is important in a compact home. The living area feels like a living area. The bedroom feels private. And the kitchen and workspace have their own defined positions.
How is the Coolum 10×3 laid out?
The layout follows a simple front-to-back flow. You enter through the large sliding entry door into the living area. From there, the kitchen and study nook sit towards the centre of the home. The bathroom provides another layer of separation before you reach the private bedroom at the rear.
| Zone | Location | Key feature |
| Living | Front | Nearly 2.9m of lounge space |
| Kitchen | Centre | Fridge, pantry, oven, rangehood, and cooktop |
| Study | Centre | Dedicated built-in workspace |
| Bathroom | Centre/rear | 1200mm × 900mm shower and washing machine space |
| Bedroom | Rear | Queen-size bed and built-in robes |
| Storage | Above | Full-width storage loft |
The result is a home that feels organised rather than crowded.
A Living Room with Room to Relax
The Coolum dedicates nearly 2.9 metres to the lounge area. That gives you space for a proper couch, natural light, and comfortable movement around the room. It is designed as a genuine living space rather than simply being the area left over after fitting in the kitchen and bedroom.
Whether you are enjoying your morning coffee, watching a movie, or having friends over, the front of the home gives you somewhere to relax. And because the living area is separated from the bedroom, the home can feel more private.

A kitchen designed around everyday life
The kitchen sits at the centre of the Coolum which includes a
- Full-size fridge space
- Pantry storage
- Electric oven
- Rangehood
- Cooktop
But the kitchen is not the only practical feature in this part of the home. A built-in study nook sits alongside it. That gives you a dedicated place to work, study or use a laptop without having to turn the dining table, bedroom, or lounge into a makeshift office. For a compact home, which is a small detail that can make a significant difference to everyday life.
A bedroom that feels private
Head to the back of the Coolum and you’ll find the bedroom. There’s room for a Queen-size bed, with full-wall built-in robes sitting behind triple sliding mirror doors. But for us, one of the best parts of this bedroom is what you don’t see. Because the bathroom sits between the bedroom and the living area, you get genuine separation from the rest of the home. When you head to bed, it feels like you’re heading to a separate part of the house. That’s something we wanted to achieve from the very beginning.
A bathroom with practical features
The centrally positioned bathroom provides access from both the living end and directly from the bedroom. This means it functions as both the main bathroom and an ensuite. Features include:
- 1200mm × 900mm shower base
- Vanity with storage
- Dedicated washing machine space
- NL Alectura Premium composting toilet
The position also helps the overall floor plan flow naturally from one zone to the next
And then there’s the storage
Tiny home living doesn’t mean you suddenly stop owning things. That’s why we’ve made storage a major part of the Coolum’s design. Above the home, a full-width storage loft provides somewhere to keep the things you don’t need every day. It’s accessed via a slide-out library ladder, keeping those, less-used belongings safely tucked away while leaving the main living areas uncluttered. Because the best storage is the storage you don’t have to think about.
Coolum 10×3 vs a traditional tiny-home layout
If you are comparing different tiny-home designs, the key question is not simply how much floor area you get. It is how effectively that space is used.
| Feature | Coolum 10×3 | Compact loft-style layout |
| Single-level living | Yes | Not always |
| Stairs | No bedroom stairs | Often required |
| Separate bedroom | Yes | Often loft-based |
| Dedicated study nook | Yes | May be limited |
| Full kitchen | Yes | Depends on design |
| Bathroom separation | Central | Varies |
| Overhead storage | Yes | Varies |
The Coolum is designed around the idea that a compact home can still have clearly defined spaces.
Built for road transport between locations
The Coolum sits on a custom Australian-made skeletal steel trailer rated to 10 tonnes gross. The trailer is:
- VIN plated
- ROVER compliant
- Fitted with air brakes on all four wheels
- Fitted with anti-lock braking
- Fitted with emergency skid control
The trailer is designed specifically for the safe road transport of the completed home from one location to another. That distinction matters. The Coolum is a fully built tiny home transported by road when required. It is not a caravan designed for regular owner towing.

Why choose the Coolum 10×3?
After building more than 500 tiny homes, one of the lessons behind the Coolum is simple: more space does not automatically make a better home. Clever design is about what you do with the space available. The Coolum combines:
- Single-level living
- A generous lounge
- Full kitchen facilities
- Dedicated workspace
- Central bathroom
- Private bedroom
- Built-in wardrobe storage
- Full-width overhead storage
- A trailer designed for road transport
The result is a compact home that aims to feel less compromised. It is 10 metres long and 3 metres wide, but the layout gives each part of daily life its own place.
