This modern tree house looks expensive but is completely awesome. This one is located in Germany and is designed by Baumraum architects. It has a deck, plenty of windows, and a very nice sleeping area.
They call this one the nut room because it’s designed in the shape of a walnut.
It has eight asymmetric posts to help hold it up.
The Dome Garden is a unique place to stay. It’s located in Coleford, Gloucestershire in the United Kingdom. (Forgive me if I’m not familiar with this area!)
What’s there to do there? Besides being surrounded by nature and tranquility, it sits between two famous rivers that are known for great canoeing and fishing. And it’s two hours away from London.
There’s an interesting group of geodesic domes that can house two to six people each in the middle of the ancient Forest of Dean.
One of my favorite parts besides the peaceful setting is the domes. They have windows and are self-contained. Plus there are a few different sizes to choose from in case you’re going alone, for a romantic getaway, or with the whole family…
There’s a 20ft with a shower, 24ft with a bath, and a luxurious 20ft with a spare bedroom dome. All of them have their own place to shower or bath and the water is heated by wood burning stoves. And yes, toilets are in there too.
In addition each one has its own kitchen with fridge and food. Then there is something they call the dome-itory, it’s a 24ft dome that can sleep up to ten people with privacy in their own little “cocoons”. See picture at the bottom of post!
Today I ran into Walt’s blog which is called Build This Tiny House. He has been creating and sharing a set of tiny house plans that were inspired by this picture of a tiny cottage. Link opens up in a new window to Flickr.
It’s a very small 12′ by 8′ cottage with room for an upstairs loft. Walt goes into detail in his youtube video below but you will also want to check out his website for more plan details. Thanks for sharing this Walt!
I know that 900 square feet is spacious to many of us but I think it’s an appropriate size for families. I’ve seen this video before a couple of months back but wanted to post it here in case you haven’t seen it.
They call it the Penguin House and it was designed by architect Yasuhiro Yamashita.
The most unique feature of the home is how the architect designed light to come in through various places by creating windows on all corners of the house. This helps it feel larger than it is and also helps brings the outside space in.
It covers just 322 square feet as a lot but the floor space is 899 square feet to be exact. Yamashita makes rooms feel larger by utilizing space that’s usually wasted, including a floating kitchen cabinet and the most interesting staircase.
The house also features high ceilings with light coming in through all rooms. It has three stories which includes a music studio and more. Enjoy the video below.
If you frequent Derek Diedricksen’s blog RelaxShax you might already know about our day over in Matlacha, Florida doing some tiny house hunting (trying to make it sound manly). We found plenty of funky structures that we’ll both be sharing with you, and we filmed some video too.
Look out for a video interview with Derek and me along with a separate episode of Matlacha on Tiny Yellow House.
Here’s what I got… Enjoy!
