This Tiny House Does What Giant Houses Can’t

Hidden between rocks, forest, and ocean, this tiny guest house transforms just 10 square meters into a surprising architectural experience.

Designed by WaCa Design with Julia Kosciuk, the Rochas Floridas Guest House sits on a rocky hillside in Governador Celso Ramos, Brazil. Instead of expanding outward, the project creates a sequence of spaces — a bridge, a terrace overlooking the sea, a spiral staircase around a palm tree, and a small cube suspended above the rocks.

Inside, reclaimed steel beams, wood structures, and modern Brazilian design pieces create a compact but deeply atmospheric space.

This project proves that architecture doesn’t need size to create powerful experiences.

Architects: Julia Kosciuk, WaCa Design
Location: Governador Celso Ramos, Brazil
Area: 224 m²
Year: 2023
Photography: Pedro Kok

    STUDIO BLUECERIGO This new photographic agency wants to be a place of diffusio
    and creation as well as a place of life in its own right. For the
    sake of integrating daily rituals of guarding into complex
    working hours, a large part of the space is dedicated to the
    children of promoters and collaborators. The original space has been completely restructured to create
    an open and versatile place. The addition of shutters to the
    openings allows to modulate the natural light, inherent to the
    photographer’s work, according to a device that is both simple
    and aesthetic. The space is fragmented by the implantation of “place-
    objects” which reconfigure the full and the empty spaces to
    offer unusual visual breakthroughs compared to the relatively
    modest scale of the places.

  • Coburg House

    Having lovingly restored the front of this Californian Bungalow, our clients were seeking help to reinvent the back of the home. The brief was to create a functional, beautiful and bright abode for their family. We achieved this with a combination of re-purposing the existing spaces and adding a small extension to the back and side. We added a new Kitchen, Bathroom, Laundry and Living space, all with a strong connection to the outdoors. We played with the ceiling forms to create spaces within the overall space, while soft natural light is introduced into the depths of the home with skylights. We also paid homage to the simple heritage details of the era by referencing the overall form and textures of the old Californian Bungalow.
