A Bugs Home

This tiny apartment in Taipei, Taiwan, is a bachelors dream. With a limited floor area of just 46 square metres (498 square feet), the architects have really worked their magic on the open plan layout. To maximise space, every single room can be opened up to be part of one whole space, even the bathroom. The minimalist crib is also packed with clever and functional details such as the central rotating TV that makes viewing possible in the living room, bedroom and even from the bathtub, and several sliding doors and screening devices that can be used if privacy is required.

A place completely disconnected from technology, with no electricity or running water, no TV or computer. A place Scott can slow down and enjoy what nature has to offer before heading back to his demanding ...

SKYSCAPE ROOFTOP HOUSE

In hyper-dense cities, rooftops are the new untapped real estate. This impressive minimalist dwelling is built on the rooftop of a five-story apartment building in Bangkok, Thailand. The rooftop was previously only used to store water tanks, leaving an expanse of empty space for WARchitect to work their magic and build an ultra-modern home that emerges out of nowhere in the sky. Balau wood planks clad nearly the entire interior for a warm, cohesive atmosphere, and i...

BAK Camden Portable Shelter

BAK calls the Camden a livable artifact, and that framing is more honest than most tiny house marketing. This is not a downsized home pretending to be a house. It is an 18 square metre black volume on wheels designed to stop somewhere, open up, and let you observe. The lower level does the most with the least. A longitudinal kitchen, full bathroom, and two condensed lounge areas occupy the floor plan without competing for space. The interior is deliberately d...
