This studio apartment design makes clever use of a small space by adding some custom built-ins including a loft bed, storage shelves, kitchen, and bath. Thanks again for the tip Jay, great interior design find!

A Room of One’s Own

A Room of One’s OwnStephen at Little House on the Trailer has redesigned their website (using my open source WordPress theme!) and made it easier to learn about their tiny houses. They have an open house every Saturday from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. in Petaluma, California.

Stephen makes several different house models including the Sonoma Shanty but there has been a lot of interest around this little 10′ by 12′ tiny house that is intended to serve as a garden office/studio.

modern studioThis artist’s studio isn’t exactly tiny at 775 square feet but I wanted to share it because it’s an example of a small building that uses industrial materials to form an attractive space. I can imagine how a tiny house could be built the same way from off-the-shelf low-cost industrial parts. It seems like an ideal way to go for someone looking for a modern look & feel and a durable structure. This modern studio is located in Melbourne, Australia and was designed by Open Studio Pty Ltd.
