Brandon and Sarah started their on-the-water life about four years ago, by completely renovating an old 225-square-foot houseboat they have moored in North Carolina. While they loved that first home, it was time for an upgrade! The maximum size they were allowed was a 360 square foot living space and 400 square feet of deck — so that’s what they did.

Now they have a bedroom with space to walk around the bed, a loft bedroom for guests, more counterspace, and a breathtaking two-basin copper sink! There’s even a 100-gallon stock tank bathtub in the bathroom where they can relax after a long day of work. Could you live on the water like this?

As always, Baluchon has delivered a gorgeous custom tiny home to get another happy customer! Coline wanted a 19.5-foot trailer designed with cooking in mind, so her kitchen takes up nearly half the square footage of the first floor. She has an additional flip-up section of counter that doubles as her dining area.

She chose a loft bedroom with a lower landing that allows her to stand up by the bed. The living room has a cozy couch and large windows that are painted a rusty red color on the exterior. Finally, she has a small bathroom with a shower and composting toilet, and a mini wood stove to keep warm. What do you think?

Or perhaps your first off-campus apartment that was barely passing building code and featured constant repair issues? These new studio apartments, built for the freshman students at Erasmus in the Netherlands, are sure to make you jealous!

The architects at Studio Standard were called upon to transform an old office building into functional housing for Erasmus Exchange students. They used “tiny house” inspiration to make the 162-square-foot spaces into fully-functioning homes including a kitchen, bathroom, queen bed, dining space, couch, and office space! Apartment designers all over the world should take inspiration from this innovative design going forward.
