A 236 Sq Ft Tea House with a Beutiful, Minimal Design


Here is a little house design that epitomizes everything that tiny house living is about. This beautifully designed backyard guest house is called the Teahouse, and it has a lovely story behind it. This little house design was designed and built by the famous architect, Pietro Belluschi. In the 1940’s, Pietro Belluschi was hired by a doctor based in Portland and his wife to construct and build a northwestern mid-century modern home.


   

In the backyard of the property there was an old garden shed that the couple wanted to keep, and so the little house was remodeled into a beautiful guesthouse that was inspired by Japanese and Scandinavian minimalism. THen in 1973, Belluschi, who had always considered the property to be one of his favorites, purchased the house for himself and then lived in the house until his death in 1994. The Teahouse over the years fell into disrepair but was eventually saved by the architect's son, Antony (Tony) Belluschi. The younger Belluschi won an award for the restoration of the tiny house in 2011. Today the 236 square foot Teahouse and the main house design are both still owned and lived in by Anthony and his wife. The little house is still used as a guest house and is at times is offered as tours to the public. You are sure to love this simple and modern design.


This unique small house plan is beautiful in its simple design that uses light colored wood and simple lines for a look that is seamless and calming. The little house design fits in perfectly with its natural surroundings, and the covered outdoor patio is the perfect spot to sit back and enjoy the fresh air. The kitchen cabinets match the light wood that is used throughout the design and has an uncluttered overall feel to the place. This little house design is a good example of how less is more, and how the use of color or the type of wood used in a design can help to make a tiny space feel larger. It also goes to show the variety of uses that a tiny house design can be used for. In this little house design, the home is used for a guest house, a beautiful place to stay when family or friends come over to visit. Little house designs can be used for all sorts of things from artist studios, writers cabins, playhouses, full-time living, backyard offices, extra space for the kids, vacation homes and so much more.



Now more than ever before you will find tiny house designs to choose and draw inspiration from. Just because a tiny house design is limited on space doesn't mean that it will lack in design. You will find such a wide variety of tiny house styles, designs, floor plans and sizes to make the tiny house of your dreams.

Take a peek at this seemingly standard teardrop – the front hatch is hiding a true dream

Image
Teardrops are all the rage right now because of their compact design, ease, and versatility. The Silver Tears Campers have caught our eyes though due to their incredibly detailed customized designs and the fact that two of their trailers are practically bars on wheels!       You can tell that each trailer has been hand-crafted and designed just for you - and we love that. All too often, trailers come off the factory line ready to be used by just about anyone. But teardrops feel special, and custom, and for that alone we love these little campers. So take the tour and see all the great amenities and details fitted into these little campers - you won't believe it. This camper is called the Tailgater - and you can probably see why.

Photographer Alla Ponomareva and her husband Garrett constructed this pint-size getaway as a guest house on the grounds of their home in Missoula, Montana. Tiny house builder Derek "Deek" Diedricksen , who designed the original plans, built his version for $1,200—but Alla was able to whittle the cost of her A-frame down to $700 by using repurposed materials, including window frames, logs, nails, and boards, they already had sitting around their property. With a few DIY projects already under their belts, Alla and Garrett were ready to tackle this "big" tiny house project, completing their cute cabin in just three weeks. On her blog , Alla says what she liked most about the design was how one wall lifts out, increasing the square footage of the sm
