I want to share with you this 226 sq. ft. lake house cabin that’s situated on a narrow island in Loosdrecht Lake in the Netherlands. This island is so small it’s barely wide enough to fit the house!
When building the lake house the architects kept in mind the location which is on a nature preserve. They kept the exterior simple so it would not detract from the surrounding environment. Inside the cabin everything is simple and free of visual clutter.
With different floor levels for the living and dining room you can enjoy unique views of the surrounding area. At night the living area transforms into the sleeping space.
Along one side of the cabin is the built-in service wall. It’s home to the compartmented kitchen, bathroom and storage.
Check out the photos below to explore this unique recreational lake house cabin.

Using two 8′ by 40′ shipping containers, placed side by side, this container house boost 672 sq. ft.
The front half of the home is the living, dining and kitchen area. While the back half of the home is the bedroom and bathroom. There is also a small space to use for a home office or work out area.
The designer of this house and founder of Sarah House Utah, Jeffrey White, wants to create sustainable homes for low-income people. In the future hopefully these affordable and sustainable houses can be used in low-income communities. This home ‘the Sarah House’ is the prototype for future container house designs.
Check out the photos below. Let us know what do you think of this design?

Using inspiration from a pre-existing 1920s cottage, Architects of Atelier ST designed and built this small cabin south of Berlin, Germany. They use it as a weekend getaway for their own family and friends.
Although the exterior of this wooden cottage is dark the interior is bright and open.
The home has a front door entry that opens up through a hallway lined with pine storage cabinets. Which leads to a brightly white painted two story open living space. The glass wall on the rear of the cabin provides more than plenty of natural light for the weekend retreat.
The kitchen and bathroom are located at the front corners of the home on either side of the hallway. I really love the red mosaic tiled shower. Be sure to check that out. Enjoy the photos below.

This companion studio tiny house is built by Molecule Tiny Homes. If you want to create a life where you have more freedom with a tiny house but you feel like you need a little more space, this could be a simple solution for you.
I love the idea of living in a tiny house but since I run my tiny house business from home full time it doesn’t make it as easy as one might think because of shared space and distractions.
A companion studio would make it much more doable long-term because of the nearby but completely separate space to focus. This separate, quiet, and peaceful place to work on projects would be highly valuable, right? What would you use that space for?
Would a companion studio help you live better tiny? How? Take the tour of this awesome tiny house set up and let’s talk about it in the comments!

In Savannah, GA there is an abundance of unwanted shipping containers left in the city’s port. After being used for one-way flow of consumer goods from China to America these heavy duty containers can easily be re-purposed for environmentally conscious homes.
Julio Garcia, architect, decided to do just that with two 40′ shipping containers to build his own home and studio. The two shipping containers are placed about 6′ apart. The 6′ gap has a wood-framed floor and shed roof, and the container sidewalls were cut open to create a large spacious living room. This home has one bedroom, one bathroom and a kitchen. What do you think?

Nestled deep within nature and surrounded by a lush man-made pond this totem style cabin is a guest house oasis. Henry Yorke Mann, architect, designed this small cabin for clients who wanted to give their guests an experience they would not forget among the 10-acre property in the Coast Mountains of British Columbia.
Once inside you will notice there is a skylight that runs the length of the home at the peak of the roof. This feature gives so much sunlight inside the wooded cabin.
There is a fireplace that divides the home from the living and dining area in the front half and the kitchen and bathroom in the back corners. With the sleeping loft above.
The owners decided to stay in the cabin a few times and soon discovered they were ready to downsize from their 5,000 sq. ft. home to the 400 sq. ft. Totem cabin.
Check out the inside of this cabin in the Coast Mountains of British Columbia.
