NEVER TOO SMALL New Zealand Backyard Flexible Micro Loft - 36sqm/387sqft
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
Cushla and Richard Thurston, utilised the extra space in their backyard to build a 36sqm studio with a unique view over Wellington. Studio 74 is oriented to efficiently collect heat from the sun during winter, with a steeply pitched roof designed to resist the ever changing elements of New Zealand's North Island. The seamless design of the timber flooring, extending into the shower, gives the home an expansive and flexible feeling helping it transition from art studio, to guest house, to multi-generational extension.

the only fault i can see (i'd love to live there) is the ladder with round rungs, if you going to use a fixed ladder , use flat steps, so much easier on the bare feet

remove the ladder altogether and add small steps that also acts as a storage on the other side

Detective Halverson the ladder is pretty steady, I was living in that little loft and my dad was on the sofa bad downstairs. I’ve just checked they are still running as an Airbnb, but it’s more expensive now than when we stayed there.

Loved everything except the ladder. The ladder being vertical is great to avoid visual clutter and it opens up the space, but from practicality/everyday use perspective might not be suitable for all agd groups.

They do have the sofa bed too though so if accessibility were an issue for an occupant I guess the mezzanine could just become storage space or something

I presume it’s currently used as a studio and not a permanent dwelling space yet, but she mentioned they did some aspects of design where you can alter the space if they would ever want it in the future. Otherwise it’s a very brilliant design, looks so clean, minimal and intentional.

In the suitcase close to the bed.
This place is absolutely beautiful! The design is simple, the inside is minimalistic. I love the loft ladder and the view out that skylight from the bedroom must be incredible at night!
The image that they gave to this house using those materials with those characteristics and colors will give it durability over time, it will never look old or finished, in addition the use of the gabled roof gives a height to the room suitable for the comfort of the space, and with the correct disposition towards the sun, which enters through large and sliding windows to exit to a large terrace with green area, fantastic
Exquisite. The use of space, volume, simple lines and clean finishes - this is a near perfect design in my view!
this is definitely one of my favorites! it’s small but has so much character and color, and the layout it so functional!
The ladder going all the way up to the ceiling will make such a huge difference in how you experience going to bed; just a step to a cozy corner, rather than an inconvenient and uncomfortable climb. Very well done!
absolutely stunning. small yet very articulate dwelling. i would go back to wellington in a heartbeat for this lovely space.
I liked this one a lot! No transformations that one would get tired after a week or weird shenanigans besides the ladder. Clean and simple!
Love the simplicity of this place! Minimalist dreams!
The view outside the house is one of the things I like the most here. enjoying the sunrise and sunset from the terrace of the house is amazing.
The space looks so expansive and serene. Loved it.
This is an amazing use of space and windows!! LOVE IT, I can live here! What a view!
That view is magnificent, what an incredible property.
This space is incredibly beautiful! I am amazed at how cozy it seems yet there is a large presence about it. I would definitely live there!
Absolutely love it! The continuous floor and connected deck are perfect. Great work and thanks for sharing your space with us.
Hurray! House tours are back! And very nice place, I wouldn't complain if I had to live there
Picture guests camping in their yard. That’s heaven.
Your movies have become an addiction. They encouraged me to "live lighter", to get only what I need (with some whim every now and then, God forbid) starting from my home, which must be a refuge where I can relax and feel protected, without having to become a source of stress and worries. Thanks Never Too Small. Really.
This is the best one yet IMO. I absolutely love it and I will definitely be incorporating some of her features in my own design
I think the project fits its multipurpose goals very well. The views are glorious and the use of timber seems apt. Cushla is so articulate. I imagine she’s won over many a potential client with her presentations. She’s obviously passionate about architecture and sustainability but not in an overbearing way. Thank you @NEVER TOO SMALL for another great video.
simplicity is beauty , small but elegant , love it
Most beautiful space....calm and clutter free
When I saw the mezzanine space - I let out an audible aww!! I love it. So funky and cozy. Throughout the space, the use of materials, upcycling wood, old paneling. Well done - also great ideas to utilise and build upon. And the Kiwi accent reminds me of home.
I really like all the thought that's been put in to this one. The architect explains the concepts and techniques so easily and clearly!
To me, This house is perfection. So calm and relaxing. I could live there and be happy.

There is nothing around to "excite". Manicured great outdoors with no one else nearby is indeed very calming. Relaxing takes some work. 🙃
I love the sliding doors and the window on the sleeping area. It really makes the place look bigger and airy.
Lots of thought went into so many aspects of this project. Sustainable and gorgeous!
Love this home! The colors are perfect, and I love how much thought went into its orientation on the site.
What a joy to watch - love the calming music while watching the views in the video. Hope I can visit here one day
So exciting to see one from my home town! That spot in Brooklyn on the Ridgeline is stunning ❤️
Great Studio for art/architecture. Like how the floors extends btw rooms yo create larger impression. Also leading the sun thru bathroom, onto kitchen is great. Neat how you declutter the view from living room with the width of the shelf, and the toilet behind the wall. 👏
Omgg that view... gives me that aching feeling of I want to live there
Wow! This is genuinely my dream house. So perfect!
What a place and beautifully presented by our hostess.
This made me ready to pack my bags and stay in a tiny home in a far away land

So beautiful. The whole space look so bright, spacey, and warm. I kinda hesitate with the ladder, but placing behind that charming fireplace is a great idea.
This is my kind of dream house somewhere i can breathe freely, it's so open that i can see my family always. I love the woods the large windows. US is so rich that they think this tiny house is about convenience and affordability for some people of other country like me this is a dream house
Wow... It's beautiful... I really love it and I loved the colours
Wellington is such an amazing city!
Wow so peaceful and beautifully narrated - thanks so much and you have done a INCREDIBLE job!!!
I love how everything about this house has a practical reason behind. I worry about the storage space though.
The view is amazing! Love the deck around the building!
This house showus that the size, the colors, the lighting and the ventilation are important factors to generate a comfortable space where people can feel happy and not overwhelmed by a small space
Very. Very nice. Love the fireplace tile detail among other things.
I MISSED THESE SO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!
I‘d love this for my own. Just would have made some beautifully constructed, light, detachable/stowable stairway to reach the Sleeping Loft. Possibly one that you pull down with a rope, that automatically retracts into the ceiling area when not in use. It sure does look sleek to have the ladder, but with older guests it may be too tricky climbing up and down it. And I‘d defitely need a cooktop stove 😋 Love the design otherwise!

That’s a great idea as an alternative to the ladder, loft stairs into the mezzanine floor/roof 👍 thanks
This place is absolutely beautiful !!!
Tiny houses have many challenges in order to create a lovely place where people won't feel overwhelmed. However, Cushla and Richard manage to build no just a peaceful house but a sustainable space by taking into account the prevailing wind, the sunlight, and the view. What I like the most about this house is the minimalist design because it allows the interior spaces to relate without mixing up and consequently creates different atmospheres in one place.
i always watch never to small videos before sleep. kinda relaxing somehow
I love this loft. Amazing.
Great taste in design , simple, & elegant .
Absolutely Gorgeous!
Absolutely gorgeous place.
I imagine this as coffee shop, and that looks like a good place to chill
The bathroom draining floor was clever touch and amazing.
Absolutely amazing! I loved this studio!
so long i can still climb those slim stairs without toppling over daily ... am impressed by the way you plan for natural light etc
My goodness! I would move right now if they rented this space out! I've been wanting to move into Wellington forever
I appreciate the toilet being "tucked" back, away from view once the door opens. With those outdoor views over Wellington I would build one too.
Only 36 sqm and it seems so big ! Amazing 👍🏻 Fantastic job !
Gosh love the design. Beautifully designed. I appreciate.
The deck gets me every time :)))
Stunning house ,good to see windows being used for light not just views.
Absolutely beautiful.
The best house I've seen so far
Gorgeous ! House of my dream
I just LOVE it. Wow!

Absolutely gorgeous and perfect
Really nice settlement, the house is beautiful and the accent is great.
It's a beautiful calm space in a stunning setting. I love the colours, the minimal design and the live edge table. The only thing I would change is the ladder. The round metal rungs will be very tough on bare feet and dangerous with slippers.
Love it! I could live in this small space!
Another stunning, clever space! Love your channel. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Beautiful, well done. Just one suggestion use a different kind of latter with hand grips that can be positioned for easier use.

Sliding doors are the best. Good looking and space-saving :P
