An Artist's Retreat


Have you ever envisioned a tiny house that serves as a canvass by the artist homeowners? Well this rustic home with a minimalist Japanese vibe is a creative use of tiny space without the unnecessary clutter that most living spaces can become.

Located in San Pablo, Laguna, Philippines, this 292-square-feet tiny home features a two-floor living area with open plan so that the multi-function space seamlessly shares the bed, cooking, sleeping and entertainment area in one. The homeowners have made good use of the outdoor space by putting a walled plant box, an outdoor picnic table with seats, and a hammock for a lovely nap on a hot, summer day. The second floor has a substantial balcony space for a good, comfortable area to read and relax.

The wooden beams supporting the welded iron balcony is specially carved and aged to make it look like an antique piece. A simple gas stove can be used in the indoor and outdoor "kitchen." If you enter, you will immediately see the carved piece of coco lumber that serves as the ladder to the second floor but it can be tricky if you have issues with your balance so it may not be safe for older people. Sticks have been tied together to form a window blind is an interesting touch to the woody interior. Intensive application of wood work has been made in order to connect different types of wood like a jigsaw puzzle.

A steel toolbox has been used as a kitchen counter. Big glass windows dominate the space so that the natural light can come in. No expense is spared for the lovely colorful rugs in order to keep the homeowners warm on cold nights and keep them cozy on a warm day.
