Quebec-based Minimaliste Houses has unveiled its latest tiny home on wheels, the Magnolia V6.

The tiny home is based on Minimaliste's Magnolia, one of the company's several base builds that clients can select from as a starting point. According to Minimaliste's YouTube video tour of the V6, the exterior looks the same as a typical Magnolia build, but the interior has been completely redesigned to fit the needs of the client who ordered the build.

The base layout of the Magnolia — which the company calls its "park model" — sits at around 385 square feet with a 10.5-foot by 36.5-foot floorplan. This measurement allows the tiny unit to fit all of the traditional home basics, such as a living room, kitchen and dining space, bedroom, bathroom, and a lofted area.

Since its conception, the Magnolia build has become one of Minimaliste Houses' most popular tiny home builds with a price tag starting at $97,195. However, this price can rise depending on different custom adjustments, which can be seen in the newly designed Magnolia V6 for $115,949.

To make the home weatherproof, its makers included an air conditioning unit and a heat pump to help regular the interior temperatures.

Minimaliste also emphasizes a sustainable production and building process by reducing waste in the factory and increasing insulation in the tiny homes to keep electricity and heating use at bay.

The exterior of the Magnolia V6 has two different complimentary colors of cedar, one applied vertical and one horizontal.

The black cedar is colored using the Japanese Shou Sugi Ban burning method, which can also be seen on Escape Homes' ESCAPE One XL tiny home on wheels.

Like many furniture pieces in any tiny home, the media console is multi-purpose.

It hides a little secret: a litter box with a small cutout for a cat to enter.

The litter box compartment also has a 12-volt fan to ventilate the space.

But if it's too dark with the blinds down, the inside can be brightened up with LED lights across the build.

The lofted space in the V6 is 55 square feet, which is smaller than a loft in a traditional Magnolia.

Minimaliste designed the loft on the base Magnolia to be used as both storage and an additional sleeping space.

The sliding door next to the kitchen and refrigerator — which leads into the utility room, bathroom, and bedroom, in that order — has a chalkboard panel.

The utility room most prominently holds the hot water tank.

The bathroom's cedar ceiling has an extra varnish to protect it from the room's inevitable high humidity levels, although there's also a humidity extractor fan in the space as well.

Behind the bathroom is the bedroom, which has windows, HDMI cables in case the owner wants a television in their bedroom in the future, and under bed storage space.

There are cupboards near the ceiling, two nightstands on either side of the bed, and over-bed cabinets for extra storage in the sleeping space.
