I’d like to share with you this prefabricated tiny hexagonal dwelling designed by Hivehaus. You could say it also looks like a honeycomb shaped house. Prefabricated models are built so you can have just one pod or add as many as you like. Each pod is 100 square feet and available with customizable floor plans.
The pods are delivered in panels making it easy for two people to construct the home. What you see below are three pods placed together to create a 333 sq. ft. home with one bedroom, a bathroom, kitchen and living space. The kitchen has a great multi-functional cabinet that tucks everything out of eye when you are not using it. And check out the fire wall. It’s a movable wall, like a door, with a fireplace that allows you to have it either inside or outdoors. What do you think of this tiny house design?

For Alex Kennedy, this tiny studio in her mother’s backyard garage is perfect for her needs. Plus she is able to have her own home without paying expensive property taxes somewhere else in Melbourne, Australia. Converting this old two-car garage in her childhood home back yard makes this space even more special. And how much better can it get living next to the family?
With the help of designer Sarah Trotter of HEARTH Studio, she was able to turn this garage into what you see below a functional yet cozy cottage for herself to call home. Large glass French doors open up to the garden giving Alex a beautiful view all the time. Almost all materials that went into redesigning and converting this garage into a livable tiny home were salvaged materials.

I want to introduce you to POD House. Based in Switzerland they build and design these cool round shaped cabins. Used mostly for camp sites, unique living experiences and hotel extensions.
Or if you are looking to put one on your property as a place to get away they can do that too.
But are they big enough to call home? Or maybe just to be used for glamping, backyard offices, vacation spots?
As POD House says, “Step in and feel good.”
You make the call. Check out some of their four different models below.

Situated just outside of Stockholm, Sweden you can vacation in this awesome bus converted into cabin with a rooftop deck.
I think this is by far my favorite bus conversion I have come across.
Once you check it out for yourself I think you will love it too. The vibe here is funky meets cozy.
The rooftop deck seems to be a wonderful spot to hang out, eat and drink.
The couple, Jon and Stina, converted this bus a while back and decided why not rent it out.
Besides the cool deck there is plenty of space to chill inside the bus with up to 4 twin size beds.

Designed in nature and eco friendly I’m happy to share with you the Tye River Cabin located in Skykomish, Washington. The architects, Olson Kundig, designed this cabin with large windows and glass doors for entertaining and inviting the outdoors in. I feel these features give the modern river cabin a more natural feel.
The cabin is compact yet cozy and fully equipped with a kitchen, living room with a fireplace, two bedrooms and a bathroom. I think this cabin in the woods would make a nice peaceful place to live, how about you? Enjoy the photos below and let us know what you think are about this cabin down by the river.

Check out this 3-story 624 sq. ft. house in Japan. The architects, Takahashi Maki and Associates, call it the “White Hut and Tilia Japanica”. Set in a older residential community this small house sits much higher than it’s neighbors.
The large windows of the home give the owner views of the surrounding area. Heading inside the house you would find on the ground floor the bedroom with space for a small desk. On the second floor you will find the kitchen, dining and living area.
The top level would be my favorite. Along not pictured here that is where you would find a large and luxurious bathroom. Would this type of small house design work for you?
