The Cascade Max didn’t become Tru Form Tiny’s fan favorite by accident. Starting at $198,900, this Craftsman-inspired park model is one of the Oregon-based builder’s most beloved designs, and it earns that reputation in every square foot.
At just under 400 square feet, the Cascade Max measures 38 by 10.5 feet and packs in a level of spatial intelligence that most apartments twice its size fail to achieve. The floor plan is single-level — a deliberate choice that keeps the home grounded, accessible, and surprisingly airy. Eleven-foot vaulted ceilings do the heavy lifting here, pulling the eye upward and creating a sense of volume that reads more loft-apartment than compact dwelling.
Designer: Tru Form Tiny
The living room greets you with large windows and transoms that flood the space with natural light. It’s the kind of light that shifts throughout the day, making the interior feel alive rather than static. The kitchen sits just beyond — fully equipped with quartz countertops, a custom tile backsplash, open shelving, and bar seating that invites casual conversation while someone cooks. It’s a kitchen designed for people who actually use kitchens.
The bedroom is genuinely generous. It accommodates a king-sized bed, dual closets, and a storage headboard complete with built-in shelving and wall sconces — details that speak to a designer who understands the difference between space-saving and space-making. Nothing feels like a compromise.
The bathroom might be the most clever move in the entire plan. A walk-through layout makes it significantly larger and roomier than a standard tiny home bathroom, and it comes outfitted with a freestanding tub, a separate glass-enclosed shower, Delta faucets, and a stacking washer and dryer. Compost toilet included. It’s the kind of bathroom you’d expect in a boutique hotel, not a home on wheels.
What makes the Cascade Max resonate beyond its specs is the intentionality behind it. Tru Form offers a fully custom build process, meaning buyers can reconfigure the layout, adjust finishes, and make the home genuinely theirs. Real people live in these full-time — couples who’ve sold their houses, families planting roots on inherited land, individuals choosing freedom over square footage. The Cascade Max doesn’t ask you to sacrifice. It asks you to reconsider what enough actually looks like. For a lot of people, this is the answer.
