Though it has a length of just 6 m (almost 20 ft), the Kejadenn tiny house is designed to mitigate its small size with a clever interior layout that maximizes every inch of space available. The dwelling serves as a vacation home on wheels and sleeps up to five people, at a squeeze.

Baluchon's Kejadenn (which translates as Meeting in the French Celtic language Breton) is based on a double-axle trailer and features a contemporary exterior design made up of red cedar and black aluminum accenting. It consists of a spruce frame and has a mixture of cotton, linen and hemp insulation in the floor, walls, and ceiling. Power comes from a standard RV-style hookup.

Visitors enter into the living room, which looks airy and light-filled thanks to its generous glazing and high ceiling. It features a sofa bed that sleeps two guests, plus there's a small coffee table and some shelving too.

The Kejadenn's kitchen is nearby. This has a small drop-down dining table, a sink, microwave, fridge, two-burner propane-powered stove and cabinetry. There's also an electric wall heater which Baluchon says is sufficient to heat the entire home. The kitchen connects to a very compact bathroom via a sliding door, where a shower, sink and toilet can be found.

The upstairs is reached by some stairs that are integrated into the kitchen countertop. These look a little awkward but are arranged like that to save floorspace. The loft contains not one bedroom as you'd typically expect, but two: the primary bedroom, which has a double bed, plus an adjacent secondary bedroom with some seating that folds out to function as the owner's child's bed. It looks like a bit of a squeeze up there but will only be used for short stays so the lack of personal space shouldn't be as much of an issue.
