design
The Eka is our first site built tiny home design to be finished to completion. Designed with the perfect use of space to be both a long term or short term living space, The Eka can be a guest house, or dream home.
After building over 100 tiny homes on wheels, we ventured into our first site built home. This build was the beta. Now, over 500,000 people have seen it and are loving it! The smart use of space, ample natural light, and intentional interior design turns a small space into a luxury home. If you have always dreamed of living tiny, this may just be your dream home.

Team Feature: Gauranga Thomas
Lead Designer and Builder on The Eka
The lead designer and builder behind the Eka Tiny Home is our longtime team member, Gauranga Thomas. Since joining Simplify Further in 2021, Gauranga has dedicated himself to mastering the craft of tiny home construction. What began as a hands-on learning journey—with little prior experience—quickly evolved into a deep commitment to quality, creativity, and refinement.
Over the years, Gauranga has become an integral part of our creative build team. He played a key role in shaping the Shiva Tiny Home (now on Airbnb), single-handedly brought The Leela model to life, and consistently elevates every design with his eye for flow and detail. With four years of building experience under his belt, Gauranga took the lead in designing the Eka floor plan—balancing function, beauty, and clever use of space with impressive results.
Inspectors on this build noted the precision and excellence of his build quality, calling it some of the best they’ve seen. Gauranga continues to grow in his craft and is currently working toward his general contractor’s license to further deepen his contribution to the field.
