North American tiny houses have been trending larger and more luxurious in recent years, but the eBoho Go takes the opposite approach. Measuring just 152 sq ft (14 sq m), the simple and affordable home provides a lesson in making every inch count.

Designed by Escape, the eBoho Go is based on a single-axle trailer. It has a length of just 16 ft (4.8 m), which is only around a third of the length of Wind River Built's Cumberland, for example. So this is one seriously portable tiny house. It's not envisioned as a family home or a place for entertaining. Instead, the firm suggests it would be a good pick for a rental or a guest house.

We often associate Escape's tiny houses with large premium models like the N2, and the eBoho Go maintains a similar design language, albeit on a smaller scale. Its exterior is clad in engineered wood siding and it features lots of glazing, helping maximize daylight inside.

The interior, meanwhile, is finished in birch and arranged on one floor. Given the modest dimensions, I think Escape has made the right call by keeping things simple. Attempting to squeeze in too much would only have made the rest of the home less usable.

On entering the home through a glazed entrance and storm door, there's a kitchen unit with a small fridge/freezer, an induction cooktop, and a sink. Cabinetry and a butcher block countertop round out the space.

There's no dedicated living room in this one. Instead, the sleeping area doubles as a general hangout space. It contains a queen-sized bed, lots of windows, and useful integrated storage. A mini-split air-conditioning unit is installed and should be more than sufficient to maintain a comfortable temperature throughout the home.

A wooden door provides access to the bathroom. This has more storage, a sink, a flushing toilet, a heater, and a walk-in shower.

The eBoho Go model shown is currently up for sale for just US$45,440. We've no word on delivery costs, so those interested will need to contact Escape directly.

Yes very tiny. But at least livable. I think the queen bed should go & in place a sofa sleeper or sofa bed. Also why are there so many windows? ... lastly it's sad such a small space & they still want $44k.

You call that cheap? If they are the prices for these sorts of things, which aren’t tiny homes they glamped up campers, then I’ll take my 50 grand start from scratch and learn how to build one myself. Or buy a 20 foot trailer with the bones of the home erected already for 18 grand and spend the rest on decking it out……you think I will build something better? I’ll bet I can. Really, tiny homes don’t get much smaller or cheaper at 45 grand? Think about that statement for a second.
