Tiny House Cluster Under Glass
This was sent to me by Joseph Sandy, who has also helped me out a bit on my Who’s Next entry. It’s a house in Buzen, Japan designed by the architects at Suppose design office that’s more like a cluster to tiny homes.
The ‘streets’ have glass roofs and exterior walls to help strengthen the idea of narrow paths between the different ‘homes’. Using so much glass in a roof doesn’t seem like a very practical approach but I really like the effect it creates. There also seem to be a lot of good ideas here for the tiny house designer/builder.
Great find Joseph! …and thanks for the hands-on help with the Who’s Next entry! Read more about this house at ArchDaily.
That is freaking awesome!!! I wish there were more pics!
This doesn’t really seem like a tiny house. They have to have well over 3,000 square feet under glass.
Okay, I clicked on the link and see that they claim the house is about 1,300 square feet, but either the people who live inside of it are midgets, with midget furniture — or they’re not counting the glass “streets” between the “buildings.”
But I agree completely Andrew… this is not a tiny house. It is an interesting idea though and similar (albeit without the glass) to the Who’s Next Competition design I was coming up with.
If the dinning room table is 6 or 7 feet long (three people on each side), then it looks to me like the plan is very roughly 40 x 30 feet. So, if you are going to raise kids (and this plan has two rooms so it must be for a family of 2-4 kids), I’d say it’s not bad. I mean, depending on the amount of time each year the kids can be outside, I’d think some of the tiny homes just won’t work for raising children.

Double facepalm!
If the dining table is 7-ft long, then the floor plan measures roughly 46×29 = 1334-sf.
Interesting, but boring house. The rooms are much too secluded from each other. The “sunroom” (aka, main hallway) is about 6×20, and totally unusable as a “room”.
I do, though, like the idea of joining the rooms under glass. The house overall would be more appealing to me if the walls of the living room were also made of glass.
Just my $.02

not a tiny house. a tiny house would probably fit in the living room.
interesting concept.
