Experience Living in a Tiny House while Exploring Atlanta’s Very Best

The idea of living in a tiny house might feel claustrophobic for a few but for many of us it can be well and truly liberating. It teaches you how you can live happily and efficiently with much less and can do so without actually sacrificing a whole lot. This is why we love the idea of spending at least some amount of time in a tiny house. It is an experience that teaches us a lot in terms of how to manage space. For those who wish to discover this experience without actually buying or building a tiny house, this little delight in Atlanta offer the perfect opportunity. Available for rent on Airbnb, the tiny house shares space with another tiny home in the backyard of a larger residence.

The tiny home in the backyard takes you into the heart of Atlanta and you can explore some of the best attractions of the city from this base with ease. It can easily accommodate two guests and you have an ultra-small living area that extends into the bedroom on one side and the kitchen and the dining area on the other. Everything in here has been designed to ensure that the limited square footage is maximized at all times with ideas like a hidden TV in the bedroom that only pops up when in use!

    Located in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Asheville NC with distant north views of Mt Spivey and a narrow sloping lot, this wedge-shaped home is a response to site. We took into careful consideration a variety of site-specific inputs including views, sun orientation, prevailing winds, privacy, and natural cooling/heating techniques among others. The result is a functional, energy efficient home with a distinctive exterior shape and warm light filled interior spaces. The home’s dominant shed roof maximizes solar orientation for photovoltaic panels while also allowing for a double-height central atrium to flood the core of the house with natural light and exhaust hot air on hot summer days. The introduction of natural light into the core of the house reduces the need for artificial lighting on cloudy days, while the chimney effect created by opening large operable skylights at the top of the atrium reduces HVAC loads by bringing cool air up from the basement. This central atrium is an example of how a design feature can multitask –it brings natural light deep into the core of the house, it cools the house using the chimney effect, and it provides a place to grow plants which filter interior air. It also allowed us to minimize the street facing windows for privacy while still maintaining a light filled interior. Anchoring the bottom of the atrium are four large arched openings and a Spanish terracotta tile floor. The tile floor is a durable surface good for watering plants and for heavy foot traffic. A keyhole opening marks the boundary between private and public sides of the house while two of the arched openings frame an intimate eating nook and entry foyer with walls covered in locally milled southern yellow pine. The last arch has steps spilling out into a sunken living room and kitchen area with access to a back deck. Locally milled cypress, a naturally rot resistant wood, covers the exterior and anchors the strong geometry of the house to the site. In the end, our desire for functionality created something more than just an energy efficient home. The interior took on an unexpected bohemian feel; one that originated from a desire for light and functionality, but resulted in warm soft interior spaces that were comfortable and welcoming.
