Project Story

Mini House brings sleeping, cooking, storage, and living into a compact residence. The central design question was how to arrange those functions within a small footprint.

Breuder handled design, fabrication, and installation. Sleeping moves to a loft above the main living area. Integrated storage and a built-in kitchenette use the edges of the room, while the bath combines a compact vanity and shower.

The photographs show the arrangement from the main interior through the kitchenette, loft, and bath. The deck provides a separate outdoor living area. The kitchen scope shown here is the compact kitchenette.
