When an urban couple decided to build an affordable tiny house outside the city as a retreat from their busy lives, they found a site in the Stockholm archipelago and called on architect David Lookofsky of Lookofsky Architecture.

Lookofsky outfitted the bedroom with built-in pine plywood bunkbeds, walls, and a ceiling. The bathroom and a closet are also wrapped in plywood.

The house had distinct, angular geometry, and to build on that approach while not replicating it, Baab used curves in the renovation, including a spiral staircase and on select walls of the addition. The Lipnicks enjoy how the rooms in the addition offer privacy but retain a sense of being connected to the larger space. There’s even a secluded deck, with Auma chairs from Article.

The wooden box is as functional as it is finely crafted, with room for clothes up top. Each niche holds treasures from travels, family keepsakes, books, and more.

Ample storage is provided in the kitchen area and the steps leading up to the bed.

Remodeled on a budget of just $35,000, this 355-square-foot apartment uses affordable birch plywood for the flooring, doors, and storage units for a warm feel.

From the living room wall, a panel folds down to reveal a bookshelf and form a table.

Madrid-based firm PKMN dreamed up this flexible concept for a client with a tiny home north of the city. Made up of three shelving units on track system, the All I Own House can be configured in countless ways, making space for a bedroom, kitchen, sitting area, changing room, and more. Shown here is a horizontal Murphy bed, which makes a great space-saving solution as well as a comfortable sleeping space.
