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.

  • W72nd Penthouse

    Located in the historic Oliver Cromwell Building, The W72nd penthouse inhabits the top three floors of the historic building in the Upper West Side of Manhattan. With commanding views of Central Park, it’s an awe-inspiring refuge from the frenetic pace of NYC. The clients, a financier and a tech entrepreneur, one from Pakistan and the other a Detroit native, longed for a cozy retreat to counterbalance their busy lifestyle. The fusion of two cultural backgrounds are apparent in the mixtures of textiles and material selections throughout the home. With two growing daughters and a steady stream of houseguests, the project aimed to accommodate their family as well as act as a secluded shelter away from city life. The space is first met with a glimpse of a stunning oak herringbone floors and steel circular staircase that connects all three floors and serves as the central backbone of the space. Facing the staircase is the main floor living and dining area perfectly framed as the home’s first introduction to the space. The area showcases an eclectic art collection and a library for the voracious literary appetite of the homeowners along with objects of curiosity from the client’s travels. Instantly eye-catching is the dining area which features a stunning dining table and leather chairs and flanked by a banquette covered with a custom Suki Cheema textile. Adjacent is a small media room punctuated by a bright red Ligne Roset couch. The tiered floor plates provided a challenge for maximizing space as each level gets increasingly smaller as you go up. The design team began to think like a shipwright to design unexpected built-ins that evoke the feeling of being in a sailboat in the sky. On the second floor, up the oak and steel staircase, is small office, a bedroom with two beds in a unique head-to-toe configuration surrounded by figured maple built-in storage looking to the prominent views of the penthouse’s towering over Manhattan. Also, on the second floor is a bathroom, a small kitchenette, and a gracious balcony that continues to overlook to the busy cityscape below. The open spaces of the circular stairwell continue up to the third-floor feature integrated fire shutters that slide down to create privacy for the whole second floor. Continuing up the stairs is a generous master bedroom and master bath. The master bathroom is class wall to wall in hand- made colored Moroccan tile juxtaposed with modern fixtures and fittings.
