Perfect Tiny Home on an Island: Romantic Escape that Saves Space and Resources

The dream of every urbanite is to have that lovely holiday home that is far away from the constant rush and bright lights of big city. It is a dream that is often constrained by lack of resources. But this tiny vacation cabin on the Galiano Island brings the dream alive with its smart and eco-friendly design that is easy on the eyes and on the pocket. It is the perfect little escape that not only offers wonderful views of the landscape, but also allows its newly wed owners to rejuvenate and rest with ease! Designed by Trim Studio, the cabin occupies no more than just 100-square foot of space.

But that seems more than sufficient in here with a small living area, a functional kitchen in white and wood that has a black workstation and a bedroom that is illuminated by a brilliant skylight. Each space flows into the next and the cabin offers everything a couple could need on their vacation. Even more impressive is the gorgeous wooden deck just outside that also holds a hot tub and adds to the sense of luxury and romance the cabin exudes.

    Located on a small lot in Downtown Toronto, the owners of this new three storey residence desired a peaceful urban retreat, purposefully tailored to nurture and enhance a close communal family life and their enjoyment of the outdoors. The response is a highly personalized expression of one small family’s particular lifestyle. At ground level, a back-split condition responds to the natural slope of the site. An adventurous sectional arrangement continues vertically upward, with additional split levels arranged around a 3-storey light well, drawing sunlight (and moonlight) deep into the house. A home office occupies the light well, with views to the living room above, and a library space below. What would typically be the dark middle of the house is bathed in sunlight and enjoys a feeling of expansive vertical space. The various regions of the home are all closely knit together across this interior light well, creating an interesting balance between separation and intimacy: While the family may be individually occupied with remote activities (cooking, lounging, working, playing), they are always quickly and easily engaged with one another. The three principal living spaces (Living room, Kitchen/ Dining area, Library) also expand outwards, into separate exterior areas, each with its own unique and complementary character. At ground level, an arrangement of subtle level changes and low partitions gradually increase the degree of privacy as one moves from the street, through the interior, and into a secluded, forested back garden. The third floor living room – an urbanized version of a cabin in the woods with wood stove and cedar ceiling – nestles intimately into tree tops at one end, and opens widely toward the sky at the other. An upper level outdoor terrace offers easy enjoyment of the city skyline, urban tree canopy, sunsets, and the night sky. The house is thus organized around three principal axes which connect the interior with the outdoors: a ground level Garden Axis, a third level Sky Axis, and a vertical Sun Axis.
