Tiny Home Snapshots
In our search for material for ‘tiny home’ albums, we often come across interesting ideas and images but not enough of them to make an album. Sometimes we can find enough images but there is no story. Rather than pass these homes by, we’ve collated them here as inspiration. Don’t miss the video links beneath […]
Love House – a story in two parts
Yokohama Kanagawa Japan – Takeshi Hosaka Architects Built: 2005 Site Area: 38m2 Few of us have ever lived in 38 m2 (410 sq. ft) let alone on a 38 m2 site! We have previously featured the work of this architect and, when suggesting a feature on another home, Megumi, the practice […]
The Cottage on the Hill – Zinta Aistars
What could this odd-shaped and many-windowed little house in the woods have possibly housed? I stood in the woods on the top of the hill with my real estate agent, gazing in befuddlement—and increasingly also in delighted awe—at the little structure that reminded me a little of a Dr. Seuss house, a little of a […]
Ultimate glamping?
Anywhere you choose – Nice Architects Slovakia Available late 2015 Size/Area/Volume: 2.55m x 4.45m x 2.25m / 10m3 / 22m3 Do you remember The Blob?

By guest blogger, Hannah West Have you ever dreamed of living simply? The cost of living may be less, but it takes passion and courage to be able to leave the trappings of conventional living – and still be happy with the choice. It’s independence of a slightly different kind. Tiny home living represents such […]
The organic Hus-1
West coast Sweden – Torsten Ottesjö Built area: 25m2 (270 sq. ft.) This tiny home designed and built by Ottesjö Torsten, may be the most organic home we’ve featured so far. In fact, I can’t look at it without thinking of the sand-worms from the movie Dune. But don’t let that get in the way of […]
A Tiny Cabin in Maine
Ragged Island Maine USA – Alex Scott Porter Design Built: 2009 Area: 30m2 (360 sq ft) + veranda and outhouse of 14m2 (160 sq ft) Deciding to build on a small island 20 miles off the coast brings a few challenges with it. Having to ship everything on an amphibious barge is only the […]
Tinos Stable
Tinos Island Greece – Ioannis Exarchou Photography: Sylvia Diamantopoulos An old stable sitting high on the side of a hill, overlooking rugged mountains and valleys. Cave like with stone walls it seemed an unlikely vacation home. But, by plastering only the interior walls, inserting a new floor and filling gaps in the exterior stonework with […]
Two Boxes and a View
São Paulo, Brasil – Alan Chu and Cristiano Kato With a total built area of just 36m2 (396 sq ft), this is compact living. It replaced a very dark, old stone home but much of the original materials were reclaimed and can be found in this home. Click on any image to start lightbox display. Use your […]
