The bedroom has mirrored closets, making it feel more open.

Kuittinen was inspired by Japanese aesthetics to build his tiny home in Finland.

Their cozy mezzanine nook is used for naps, yoga, or meditation.

While homeowners Chadd and Sean wait to find just the right bed frame, they happily make do with a mattress under a Hudson's Bay blanket—an iconic piece of Canadiana—in the wood-panelled loft.

The open-concept bathroom keeps the sight-lines flowing, helping the compact space feel open and relaxed. (The toilet closet around the corner does have a privacy door.)

Beams and pillars made from glued laminated timber complement wooden paneled walls constructed from cross laminated timber.

Modular Bahia utilizes solar panels for water heating and rainwater accumulation tanks for sewage treatment.

The single-level modular space consists of two houses and a single common area.

Glulam Douglas fir beams and Marvin Ultimate windows define the treetop kitchen. The windows were selected for their ability to blend with the timber structure, creating what architect Gabe Hodge calls “openings in the walls, rather than windows.”

In the double-height living space, Marvin windows stretch nearly floor to ceiling, capturing light even on rainy days and offering panoramic views across the forest. The Douglas fir frame remains exposed throughout, adding warmth, continuity, and rhythm.

Every opening was designed to feel deliberate. Casement and picture windows from the Marvin Ultimate collection above the living room’s built-in shelving offers an eye-level view into the canopy.

In Jenn’s office, tucked beside the stair hall, the walls stop short of the ceiling, allowing the timber roof to remain uninterrupted above. “We talked a lot about how she wanted the space to feel,” says architect Gabe Hodge. “She placed a lot of value on how beautiful this roof was going to be.” The resulting design preserves acoustic and visual connection to the rest of the home, with small interior apertures that keep the space visually tethered to the landscape and the wider home.

The open-plan living and dining area frames views of the surrounding woodland through expansive Marvin Ultimate windows with a Douglas fir interior. “Even on dreary days, the house still brings in a lot of natural light,” says Jenn. “It doesn't feel overwhelming and it doesn’t feel like we’ve sacrificed privacy.”
