Clever Tiny Homes’ Clever S model demonstrates how a tiny home can offer both style and functionality without a high price tag. At just 26 feet long, the home feels surprisingly open thanks to vaulted ceilings and large, energy-efficient windows that allow natural light to fill the space. The layout is designed to maximize usable square footage while keeping the home comfortable and practical.
The kitchen is a standout feature, with a 12-foot quartz countertop that serves as both a workspace and a casual dining area. Cabinets and drawers are made from high-quality engineered wood with soft-close hardware, ensuring smooth operation and durability. An undermount stainless steel sink comes with integrated accessories, while a ducted Broan range hood efficiently removes heat and cooking odors.
The kitchen includes a two-burner Empava induction cooktop and a 10-cubic-foot refrigerator, balancing modern convenience with space-saving design. At the end of the counter, a table functions as a desk or small dining area. Optional upgrades, such as a Fisher & Paykel DishDrawer™, electric wall oven, over-the-range microwave, garbage disposal, and water filter, allow the kitchen to be customized for different cooking needs.
The main living area doubles as a bedroom with a queen-size Murphy bed designed for easy folding and reliable support. Built-in closets provide ample storage, while an L-shaped bench with hidden storage adds seating and organization.
A flex zone measuring 84 by 43 inches offers space for a sofa, table, bunk bed, or plants, maintaining a 24-inch walkway for ease of movement. A swivel TV mount is positioned at the end of the kitchen counter, allowing viewing from both the bed and flex space. The design emphasizes flexibility, letting residents adjust the space for daily activities or relaxation.
The bathroom is equipped with a full-size porcelain toilet and a 4.5-foot vanity topped with quartzite. Hexagon mosaic ceramic tiles cover the shower walls and vanity backsplash, paired with durable epoxy grout for easy maintenance. Two built-in medicine cabinets behind a large mirror provide storage without taking up space. Optional upgrades include walk-in showers with frameless glass doors, grab bars, and a frameless bathtub door for additional functionality.
Clever S is built to last. Engineered to meet the International Residential Code (IRC) and RV certified (ANSI 119.5) by NOAH, the home rides on a 26-by-8.5-foot trailer constructed by a top California custom trailer manufacturer. The underbelly is fully roughed-in for plumbing and sealed with polypropylene panels to protect against moisture and pests.
Advanced wood framing and a vaulted ceiling with a central beam provide structural strength, while a vented rainscreen and fiber cement siding from James Hardie, combined with a standing seam metal roof, ensure durability in varying weather conditions. The home is rated to withstand winds up to 140 mph.
The Clever S is designed for energy efficiency and comfort. Insulation levels are R-27 for floors, R-15 for walls, and R-28 for the roof. Electrical systems meet the 2020 National Electrical Code, with a 50-amp indoor panel, 120V outlets, and a standard RV connection.
Plumbing features include a Rinnai tankless propane water heater, PEX-A fresh water piping, and enclosed ABS wastewater systems. Two 5-gallon propane tanks provide fuel for multiple months, and the home is washer/dryer ready with 220V hookups. Optional radiant floor heating adds a quiet, energy-efficient source of warmth.
A 9,000 BTU Wi-Fi-enabled mini-split heat pump provides heating and cooling, complemented by energy recovery ventilation and a bathroom exhaust fan. Five large double-pane tempered glass windows provide light and ventilation, while full-glass French doors with built-in blinds offer privacy. Interior pocket doors save space, and wood plank ceilings and low-VOC Sherwin-Williams paint complete the interior finish.
For colder climates, the Arctic Weather Edition includes additional roof insulation, an Arctic-rated mini-split, and interior propane heating capable of sub-zero performance. Off-grid packages are also available, featuring a 14.3 kWh solar battery, hybrid inverter, nine 500W roof panels, and an automatic backup generator. Composting or dry-flush toilets provide alternative waste solutions.
Clever S offers multiple optional features to suit different lifestyles, including top-down/bottom-up cellular shades, stacked and vented washer/dryer combos, and upgraded kitchen and bathroom appliances. These additions make the home flexible for a variety of living needs while maintaining an organized and functional environment.
The Clever S is impressive for its size—it doesn’t feel cramped, and the layout actually works. The kitchen and bathroom are well thought out, and the flex space makes it adaptable for different needs. It’s not a palace, but for anyone looking for a compact, functional home with quality finishes, it’s definitely worth considering.
