Mini Houses Deck and Living Area
Intend to absorb the afternoon sun, floor-to-ceiling open enclosures doors that cover two-thirds of the hwest side of this mini houses, which open to an elevated deck overlooking Island Bay. The thick building insulation create sufficient heating for the mini home, even during winter.
The living area set next to the huge doors to keep the home inviting plenty of fresh airs and Natural Light through floors-to-ceiling windows. The shelving faced to the north make the small living area more attractive also beautifully organized things,book and decoration without stuffy looks.
The undivided double height space allow the interior areas to connect and borrow space from one an-other. For example, the sleep area would feel cramped if it were fully enclosed and at the same time the open area also make living area below seem much larger. The same goes for the kitchen and the study.
The internal multipurpose shelves and fence and a bookcase work together to give the space a warm, inviting feel.
