This is a micro-housing design called Live Between Buildings because it’s designed to be built in-between buildings in large cities.
The concept is created by Danish designers Mateusz Mastalski and Ole Robin Storjohann called New Vision of the Loft 2.
Potential residents need to be nimble because the homes feature ladders, staircases, a climbing wall, swing, and a hammock. Please enjoy, learn more, and re-share below. Thank you!
Micro-housing Live Between Buildings in Big Cities
“I have been in the construction trade for longer than I care to think about, first as a worker bee, then got into the design end of things. I am a free lance draftsman and do mostly detailing for steel fabricators on large commercial projects, with occasional ventures in architectural design. Became interested in the tiny house concept a couple years ago when considering some options for my son’s property and my own future retirement and began experimenting with various plan concepts, even gave them a name- D’weelings Designs. I found your newsletter site while doing research and have been enjoying it ever since. The contest motivated me to finish up some ideas for submittal and here’s the results. Thanks for the push and opportunity to contribute.”
I love how this design incorporates outdoor space in its design. In a place where I live, like Florida, I think this would be awesome.

This 425 sq. ft. micro apartment in Manhattan has been wonderfully renovated called the MicroLoft. Back in the 1990s it was purchased for about $95,000.
Years later it was renovated for a cost of $400,000 for a client to make every square inch inside count and I’m showing you here so you can get an idea of what you can really do with a small amount of space. And, of course, we can implement the same ideas in here ourselves (if you’re a DIY person) and not pay any where nearly as much money.
Louise Harpman, founding partner of Specht Harpman, says that the demand for small spaces right now is huge and it continues to grow in many areas across the country. She also talks about other designs like the ZeroHouse that they are developing and offering.
We estimate this backyard tiny house has almost 200 sq. ft. of space inside.
A reader, who sent the photos in, says it’s about 10′ x 20′ which looks about right.
I don’t have that much information on this but this was probably really affordable to build.
The design isn’t the best because there’s no dedicated bedroom space. The living area is multifunctional and serves as bedroom, living area, office, and shower. The toilet is probably in the outhouse shed you can see in the first photo below.
Although not practical as a full time living space I thought you’d still enjoy seeing these B-and-BEE Stackable Micro Shelters because they’re interesting and can be useful in lots of different situations.
They were created by Belgian designers/supporters at Archilles Design, One Small Step, Compaan, and Labeur as a way for people to better enjoy festivals. But as soon as I saw them I thought how they can also be used as emergency shelters, napping pods, ‘glamping’, camping, and more.
And it’s all put together and stacked using a ‘honeycomb shelter’ design. They’re easy to set up and can be stacked four high with a staircase system added for upstairs access.
This is already giving two people a chance to live affordably without having to stress about money so much while working and getting their education.
And the YMCA is already planning on deploying several more units as soon as possible to meet the demand of over 100 (and growing) other people in the area on a list wanting to live in one too.
According to the video you can watch below they cost just over $30k each.
