Inspired by Robin Hood and all things “British,” Isabelle named her tiny home — built by the French tiny house builder, Baluchon — The Nottingham.
It’s her full-time dwelling with a unique roofline made of a number of triangles. Her loft bedroom has views of the stars and morning sunrise from the large skylight at the foot of the bed.
Beneath the loft is a side-by-side L-shaped kitchen and a bathroom. The kitchen has a two-burner cooktop and hidden washer/dryer unit, while the bathroom features a super-sleek all-black shower stall. Scroll for the photo tour!

This is super cute. It has all the comforts of a regular size home. That fireplace is adorable.
It’s so nice isn’t it! I love the shape of the roof, and how that looks inside the loft, etc. It’s pretty awesome!
cute! But if I had one built I would make the following changes. I would remove the wood stove, The big black square thing which I think is a heater,the pet door,the stairs, the composting toilet,black tile, the washing machine. I would put in a mini split above the big window, put in one of those folding stairs,a freestanding stove,flush toilet and sink in bathroom. These are just my thoughts.
Very nice! Thanks for sharing, Maria!
I really, really like all the unpainted pine! I have wondered though, if it would need some kind of difficult cleaning to look nice again after years of normal living, and how that would be done. On our cupboard doors, I have used 0000 fine steel wool which works great, but that’s for a smaller area, rather than the whole house, and you do get all the tiny particles of steel wool that fall and must be cleaned up, again something that might be a bit of a problem in parts of the house. Maybe use a huge magnet?? How are people maintaining a beautiful look of this wood over the long term? Or is it really not the problem I’m envisioning (as long as you don’t smoke or habitually cook things that leave a greasy film on the walls)? For houses with drywall or plaster, people usually take the easy (and lazy) way out and just re-paint, rather than washing walls like we used to when I was a kid. But when I was 14 and we came back to the States, we moved into an apartment for the first year, and apparently they painted every time a new tenant was moving in. My mom put up one of those stick-on towel hooks in the kitchen, and soon the small weight of the towel began pulling about 3/16″ of paint layers away from the wall!
Another great kitchen and staircase! Love the nook…could be used like a daybed…couch during the day with pillows along the back and sleeping bed at night. The woodburning stove is fabulous. I made a comment in one of the other posts that I wish a teapot for hot water…and adding humidity in the winter…would be nice and voila, here it is. I like it suspended rather than sitting on the counter because counter space is coveted in a THOW. Put in a regular toilet and I’d be happy as a clam to live here!
