Karen is a professor who lives with her daughter in a beautiful two-bedroom, one-bath home in Berkeley, CA. Karen needed an independent home for an aging relative who lives with her for several months per year, a sanctuary for her own work, a guesthouse for a steady stream of family and friends, and a little extra income.

A backyard guest home and work studio in Berkeley, California. Built by New Avenue Homes.

  1. What are the dimensions/square footage of your studio?
    I’ve been looking at Tiny Houses for a while now, because I will be needing to sell my house within a couple of years. I will probably build a Tiny House on wheels.

    Your’s is one of my favorites.

  2. I, too, look at every small house post I encounter and one very important aspect of this movement, besides the obvious one about energy savings, using recycled materials, living without staggering debt is the power of the tiniest, unique details that feed our eyes and support our sense of well being. The best are not only all of these things, but nourish our need for beauty in all things utilitarian.

  3. THIS home is “WHY!!!” a person should hire an architect!!!! For those of you that read Comments, click on the LINK to New Avenue Homes and there are tons of photos AND the floor plans, explaing “How?” everything fit into this stellar tiny home! I was also puzzled by the photos and thought, “They can’t possibly be from that tiny house!”, but I was happily proved wrong!

    Exceptional design. LOVE at First Sight! Liveable to the MAX and I could easily see a person living in this full time.

    The ONLY quibble I have is with that ladder leading to the loft: it presumes that you will ALWAYS have two functioning legs to clamber up and donw in a very regimented way. I took a horrid spill this Winter during the Polar Vortex and twisted my right ankle but good. I could have made it up a normal ladder to a loft but could NEVER have managed up a ladder like this that is so dependent upon two functioning limbs.

    I “get it”…it’s Artsy and a Design Element. But, practicality-wise, you better pray you never injure yourself, either short term or long term!

    With that one exception, THIS is one of the most dynamic and delightful tiny homes I’ve seen! 😀
