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

  • Magnolia Residence

    A new residence located in Seattle’s Magnolia neighborhood designed as a simple three-story form wrapped in a cedar rainscreen and stretched across the width of the property to maximize views west toward Puget Sound and the Olympic Mountains. Spaces are arranged according to the importance of prospect and refuge. Primary social spaces are located on the top floor where the view is best and where kitchen, dining and living flow seamlessly together in one loft-like space. Private functions — sleeping and bathing — occur on the second level screened from the street. The ground floor contains entry, garage and an opening through the house, front to back — a covered exterior gathering space that frames the view of water and mountain for the passerby at the street.
