Ultra Minimalist Tiny House In South Korea

This modern minimalist tiny house in South Korea is made of a miniaturized, gabled-roof form that comes from Seoul-based architecture firm The+Partners and DNC Architects.

The tiny house of Slow Town is a building of small houses that use the least modules out of woods to expand the inadequate accommodations in Gangwon city, the host city for the Pyeongchang 2018 Olympic Winter Games, and also to provide easy access to the geographical beauty of the city.

Measuring 213 square feet, one of the first things to notice about this ultra-minimalist tiny house in Seoul South Korea is how the stair has been designed.

Instead of being placed along a side wall, it has been pushed to the back, adjoined with the kitchen and bathroom spaces.

It’s also an alternating tread design, meaning it takes up less space and has storage cubbies built-in.

Due to the layout, the kitchen is small, compared to other tiny homes.

The bathroom is positively palatial, with wooden flooring and an open shower.

The wood paneling covers almost all surfaces, lending a clean and warm interior. The house itself is raised on footings, and there is radiant underfloor heating, to keep warm in the winter.

There’s only one window in the sleeping loft, which may be a problem in the summer.

The minimalist character of this tiny home, with its contemporary-looking, blackened shou shugi ban exterior, offers a more refined look to the tiny house typology.
