Inside a Compact Coastal Home Designed for Life by the Sea

Описание: Architecture can sometimes feel like an open book, where anything is possible. But other times, we are constrained by limitations like budget, regulations, or, in this case, a super awkwardly shaped yet amazing coastal section boasting a short walk to the ocean. The designer of this ingenious 35m² home embraced the challenge, and the result is nothing short of remarkable.

Inspired by years of living aboard a boat, Pirates Rest draws heavily on nautical design elements, making it a truly unique home. The unusual shape of the lot dictated much of the design, resulting in a host of fascinating and unexpected features.

Working within constraints often sparks innovation, and that’s certainly the case here. The home is packed with fun, clever ideas that showcase just how creative design can be when pushed to its limits. If you’re looking for inspiration for a compact, cleverly designed home, this one is sure to deliver!

Until Scott retires and is able to enjoy his home full time, he graciously shares his space on AirBnB to enable others to experience small space seaside living at the Pirates Rest. You can book your stay here: https://www.airbnb.co.nz/rooms/46645562
