Baltic Tiny House has created something pretty cool with their off-grid BTH Loft model. This 22 square meter home proves that compact living doesn't mean compromising on outdoor space or self-sufficiency. The genius lies in the roof terrace, which doubles the usable space of the house and creates an elevated retreat above the living spaces. The exterior features clean lines made from either wood or sheet steel and is topped by an aluminum roof that houses the solar panel system.
At 7.2 meters long and 2.55 meters wide, the BTH Loft meets standard transportation regulations while maximizing every inch of interior space. The removable outdoor ladder allows access to the roof terrace where optional safety railings can be installed for safety. Inside, the layout shows thoughtful space planning: on the ground floor there is a fully equipped kitchen, a bathroom with shower and a main sleeping area. Above this, a 5 square meter attic provides additional sleeping space, meaning the house can comfortably accommodate two couples or a small family.

Complete self-sufficiency and expanded living space
The off-grid capabilities set this tiny house apart from grid-dependent alternatives. Roof-mounted solar panels generate electricity that is stored in integrated battery systems, while a hybrid water heating system ensures hot water availability. This complete energy independence allows for placement virtually anywhere, from remote forest clearings to urban backyards seeking sustainable housing solutions. Natural wood finishes throughout provide warmth and visual continuity, making the compact space appear larger than its actual footprint.
The rooftop terrace transforms outdoor living options. Whether for morning coffee, evening stargazing or entertaining guests, this elevated terrace extends the living experience beyond the interior walls. The terrace effectively doubles the functional area of the house without increasing the building's footprint – an excellent solution for maximizing land use efficiency. This outdoor space appeals to different lifestyles, from young couples looking for adventure to families looking to reduce their environmental footprint.
Market impact and future of tiny living
With a price of 40,000 euros for the premium off-grid package, the BTH Loft positions itself competitively in the European tiny house market. This price makes off-grid living accessible to first-time buyers, downsizers and anyone looking for affordable housing alternatives. The completely off-grid facility eliminates ongoing operating costs and potentially offers long-term savings compared to traditional residential buildings. Baltic Tiny House designed the BTH Loft to meet European road transport standards and weighs 3,500 kilograms when fully loaded.
The off-grid BTH Loft represents a new category of tiny house design where exterior and interior spaces flow seamlessly together. The rooftop concept could influence future tiny house designs and prove that creative thinking can overcome space limitations. For those looking for affordable, sustainable and mobile living solutions, the BTH Loft offers a compelling package that places equal emphasis on independence and comfort. The home comes complete with all systems installed and is ready to move into, making the transition to off-grid living surprisingly easy.
