I am 71 and for the past 35 years have been living in a 6 bedroom converted mill, this is the sort of elegant downsizing I am dreaming of, minimal house, minimal garden, minimal upkeep. You must have incredible imagination and training to dream up something like this, so well designed and beautifull.
Oh yes! I’m 75, would love a cute little place like this - it’s beautiful!
Sounds lovely
I'm an introvert with a tendency towards paranoia about windows and neighbours. I love this house. Apart from it's total privacy it's perfectly designed for relaxed easy living.
The house has a nice cocoon feel.
Yep this little home is perfect for us introverts!
Hear! Hear! :)
De light ful!
For homes, I’m accustomed to having a lot of windows for cross-ventilation, enjoying the view, optical illusion… I was intrigued to hear in the beginning that there’s going to be no window in this one. What a daring and beautiful design!
This is the best tiny house layout for shared spaces, or ugly locations. I love it! It's simple elegant, cozy, private and practical it's honestly quite perfect.
A brilliant piece of land management. The UK government should employ you to create affordable housing in brown-field sites. There's millions of bf sites all over the UK just waiting for your undoubted talent. Bravo..! 🎉🎉🎉
Hi Gemma, I live in Australia and I just stumbled upon this video of yours by happy accident. This space that you designed is brilliant and I can totally see how this would work in my backyard as a 'granny flat'. Aesthetically pleasing from inside and out, purposeful spaces and connected to nature, all while maintaining privacy for the occupants of both the main house and this tiny home. I have been trying for 2 years to figure out what would work in our backyard and you have designed it perfectly. All without meeting me or seeing my house and yard. ❤❤ Love it. Love it. Love it! ❤❤ Thankyou. I am off to watch all your other clips now. 👁👁 Great work!!
Hi Tracey, I’m so happy to hear this!!
I can picture this, built from scratch, at the end of a garden. From the main house, it looks pretty much like a timber fence down at the end and they can use the main garden without intruding upon the little house resident's privacy. The little house resident has their own private garden as well as access to the main garden.
You could hire Gemma to design the actual plans! So much can happen because of the internet!
Another Aussie here, a town planner; I’ve just stumbled across your videos and I’m now binging them! 😅 Your designs are clever and aesthetically appealing and I love listening to you explain the design.
@@NilZed1 what a great idea. I wonder what the footprint is?
This reminds me of homes I saw in busy parts of Mexico where everyone is crammed together so they basically wall in their tiny piece of property and the home is built in a u-shape around their garden space (courtyard). It’s ultimate privacy and security while living in the city.
Love it!!
The CZcams recommendation gods have truly blessed me today, what an absolutely stunning little place!
The little courtyard is genius and makes the whole thing not just possible but delightful
I think the only thing I’d change would be from the black exterior to a weathered gray, to blend in more with the existing buildings… or maybe even have a block and concrete exterior wall… LOVE your designs!!!
This is brilliantly beautiful and inventive. We need more of this kind of creativity in design if we are to embrace the fill in problems of development and the housing crisis in large cities. Love this!
I love the stealthy exterior which makes it impossible to guess what lies within. The privacy of the inner space really appeals. Then, beyond expectation, is this wonderfully minimalist, light filled interior. The contrast with the 'industrial' neighbourhood just enhances the beauty of the inner living space. I could happily live in a house like that, which says alot about me!😊
I wanted to come back here again really just to say that this is my absolute favourite video so far. I'm dreaming of something amazing as an addition (or standalone in my large backyard) to my current under 500 square foot home. The privacy and beauty aspects of this thing are just impeccable.
What a great little design, I would love to stay there for a weekend a
I adore these projects where you design around existing constraints. I watched one video and instantly subscribed! I have not been disappointed. Your presentation style is soothing and the content is top-quality.
This is beautiful Gemma! I'd definitely live here. Love the ways you let the light in throughout without sacrificing privacy. :)
This is my favorite of what I have seen of Gemma's designs. Incorporating an inner courtyard into a tiny house design is brilliant.
I love this design. The Ancient Romans used indoor gardens and I think we should use them more. As you show here they are great for tiny houses but also for houses by railways or noisy roads.
Fabulous, Gemma needs her own TV program...
Your brilliance lies in creating a minimal footprint that feels cozy, secure and safe - and of course stunningly beautiful! - in an urban area that might otherwise feel shabby and depressing. Just deliighted with your skill and imagination!! Xo From Canada ❤️
Gemma, you just solved many architectural space issues that I have had for months. The little windowed garden in the center of the house is brilliant!
John in Bethel, Missouri. USA
So pleased to hear this.
Just a brilliant and sensitive design. It's a world unto itself.....
I think this house is perfect for Urban/Inter Urban living which can be chaotic at times. Have always wanted a house built around a private courtyard, (the way the Romans did), had never considered doing it in an Urban setting, or on this tiny scale. X:)
I am all for these kinds of creative ways to utilize largely unwanted or problem lots. The significant constraints bring about such elegant and creative solutions.
Wonderful design ❤
So cozy and safe! Just beautiful. I love that you can see the sky from almost every angle!
What a magnificent retreat in the middle of things! It's small, but has everything necessary, including privacy and views.
Such a stunning solution. There are so many odd spaces going to waste while the affordable housing crisis goes on. Brilliant, thank you!
@m.denonsens572 (watching 4 mo later) Perfect for countries like ours, with a smaller landmass. No coincidence that small Japan and Scandinavian countries are renowned for their well designed, compact dwellings. We could use a wealthy, philanthropist type here who could drive this type of thoughtful, innovative program of creating micro-dwellings up and down the country. A big plus is using land already zoned, not filling in our irreplaceable agricultural land. I'd foresee that, once the ball got rolling, Councils would be falling over themselves to find residential uses for their surplus lots.
This would be a great AirBNB.
I absolutely love this little space. It's a great combination of inside and outside space, which, I personally believe, we all need. I could still grow my own food, as well as have a cosy escape from outside. Nature is not far from us all, so if I wanted it, I could just step outside and take a walk.
I'm a 54 year young man, living in Zwolle, The Netherlands, living in a small apartment, close to the centre, but fortunately with a huge balcony. A fantastic space for outside living, growing fruit and vegetables, relaxing. (I think you'd like it and could do wonders 😊).
Thank you for sharing this. It's beautiful 😍
Love this series of tiny house designs. You should do loads more. You are very talented.
Very clever. Lovely tranquil outcome. My BFF would love this, very 'womb-like'. Thanks for sharing Gemma! 🥰💖
I adore these spaces. Internal courtyards. Brilliance
I keep returning to a house for sale which has a workshop and a double length double width garage at the bottom of the garden. It would not take too much work to convert one of them along these lines.
Just came across this channel randomly and it has been a pleasure. I've always been fascinated with how people define spaces. It made me consider things I wouldn't even thought of when planning out my own space.
What a perfect space for solo living. It engenders calm.
Perfect! Really like the toned down character of the building. It has a japanese vibes about it. Especially with the inner courtyard 👍
I have come back to watch this numerous times. I just love this concept. Look forward to seeing more of your ideas.
This would lend itself to shou sugi ban for the outside cladding…. Amazing again.
I've dreamt of an inner courtyard. This is my favourite!
Jaw dropping! What a design and clever use of space. The future of urban planning and housing. Thank you for sharing.
This is so beautiful and thoughtful! I love a more classic architecture, but I'm entirely swayed!
Beautiful clever design. I might add a waterfall or Fountain feature inside the courtyard to add to the Natural feel but also to filter out the street noise
Love❤it! Very ingenious plan. Even with "no windows" per se, with all the light feom the courtyard, you certainly don't lack for natural light. ❤❤❤
I could live in a cosy, beautiful space like this. The internal glazed courtyard concept is genius and I can imagine it would work well in a bigger house too. It’s amazing that a side-windowless house feels so open and inviting. As ever the materials are so tasteful. One of my favourite videos of yours. Looking forward to more.
I think I just found my forever home, I am in love.
I’ve watched all your videos I can find and now I’ve watched this one twice. They are all wonderful but there’s something particularly appealing in the total privacy of this one. Reading other comments, seems like it really appeals to us 70 year olds! Maybe an old lady commune of these tiny houses… :)
I love this one. Especially the closet above the laundry.
Gorgeous modern miniaturization of the traditional courtyard home designs of ancient cultures like China and Greece. ❤️ Such a functional layout. The simple materials are like a canvas for the resident to personalize with art and textiles. I’m swooning over that shower skylight!!
Love this. Especially the indoor/ outdoor feel created by the private courtyard.
Marvellous. This is the best Tiny House I’ve seen and I’ve seen a lot ! ❤
This innovative architecture is the future. Suitable for young and old alike 👍🏻❤🙏🏻
This is the most beautiful place I’ve ever seen, how can you not be happy living there?
I could so live in this little gem. I love sitting outdoors. I always feel I want to push the walls out!
Love your unique solutions, this one especially, all the rooms with a view to the atrium, efficient use of space. I imagine a bird's nest in that tree.
I love how open it is internally yet totally private at the same time. Love to see you go through your designs and explain your thinking. Making something great out of something small is a great thing! 🙂
Dear Gemma, your designs for rehabbing old abandoned buildings, are absolutely, breathtakingly delightful! I’ll share a secret: a 90-year-old Yank has fallen in love with you. Bob Campbell
If I didn't have a fiancée and already moving into a house, THIS is my jam. Damn lady, you got into my head and heart and found what I was looking for without me knowing what I was looking for 🎉🎉 many thanks, I can show said Mrs and say "I love this, let's do this when we are older" we are both introverted and 'energy efficient' people.
Absolutely beautiful… love the small courtyard, i wish more construction projects will apply this idea of internal courtyards, best way to have outdoor space with maximum privacy ❤
What a stunning little place and all the timber
Look at the CZcams algorithm doing it’s job!!
this one is sooo cool. my kid -who is super judgy - said: "excellent" then took a breath and said: "perfect really"
I am so happy the algorithm brought me to this channel. So creative!
If it was a slightly iffy area I think industrial metal cladding might be better for the street side, safer & more secure, but other than that I think it would be amazing..
i love architecture...id never go back to school for it but i do love studying it and getting ideas from it
Wao mashaAllah so beautiful love from pakistan 🇵🇰
Another unbelievable vision for totally otherwise useless place! Wow! You’ve got an amazing talent! Thank you for sharing it with us ❤️
Love the idea of sliding back the doors and having inside / outside living.
I absolutely agree with so many other watchers: you have a wonderfully distinctive, relevant, helpful, beautiful way of achieving designs that are accessible, make sense, and are at once enticingly creative and elegantly minimalist. Gratitude 🙏
I love it! It's like a cocoon. Small, cozy, and so private.
If I made one change to this it would be to give some sort of access to the roof and make the exterior "taller" for a little privacy up there, maybe add some plants seating and a little firepit or something, i dunno. Really amazing job.
Sounds great!
I absolutely love this house. I am not complimentary! Your talent is ridiculous.
Sooo lovely and totally surprising! A perfect tiny house!
Love an interior courtyard! Gorgeous. I’ve never wanted to own a home again, but you are giving me second thoughts.
This is almost perfect. The only thing I would add is a screen over the courtyard as I am in an area that suffers from mosquitoes as soon as the sun lowers in the evening. This is just beautiful. I love it so much!
Absolutely brilliant. A perfect example that architecture, when done right, is art meets functionality at its finest. :)
This is sooo lovely !!!!! It’s so clever . Like the smart plain black exterior , like the inside /outside flexibility . Like the fire . Everything . 🎉🎉🎉
I love listening to you and enjoy watching these little flights of fanciful houses.
Some day, this would be a perfect party zone in my dream house plan. 😊
It's my dream to have a private little garden/courtyard like this, that I can enjoy come rain or sunshine.
Hi Gemma,
This house is fantastic. I really love your approach and the results reflect this. It would be really interesting for you to include a rough cost estimate , and break it down to include land/materials/labour. I guess that might be a ton of work, but even a rough estimate would be interesting.
All the best
Giles
Liked and subscribed :)
This might be my very favorite tiny house! Brilliant design.
Love it perfect for a single older person
Amazing!!!
This is one of the best tiny house designs I have seen.
Lovely design! You are so creative with these funky spaces and buildings.
I think you are brilliant!! I started subscribing to Architectural Digest in the 80's and after some decades I had to stop. I can't even watch their CZcams content. Just left that to come here and enjoy real design and creativity done with consideration and sense of style.
beautiful concept; very Zen, almost Japanese inspired?
In southern Arizona, I'd go with a light tan stucco exterior: heat-reflecting! In northern Montana, I'd need a very sloped roof to direct the melting snow safely off the roof and I'd need to modify the atrium area but it would still work
Wow! This is so cool and creative. Very cozy and private!!
Very creative. I like your solution for so much natural light into such a small space, and the mini garden is genius. I would have this built ... if I had the money.
I'm a botanist and illustrator and love this concept design!
Nice contrast.
I love your concepts. My only issue with many of them is that the bed is against a wall. It's good for singles or young people, but I hate climbing over my wife or her over me for those mid night bathroom breaks.
Hi Gemma, I have seen a few of your designs now and love your use of space and light.
In this particular design I would have a toughened laminated glass roof over the courtyard so the home is completely enclosed just in case anyone tried to chuck any rubbish over the fencing.
You have asked about other project ideas, one thing I haven't seen from you yet is anything that is wheelchair accessible - is this something you would be interested it looking at? You would need completely flat access both internally and from the street so your pocket door work really well with this already but room sizes will need to be quite large to accommodate both furniture and the ability for the wheelchair to enter the room, access all areas and turn around to leave, it would also have to have at least the main bedroom and bathroom on the ground-floor even if guest bedrooms and bathroom are upstairs
I'd love to see a version of this type of structure with a heat pump, and/or solar panels. I think that's the better way to power and heat spaces these days.
Bravo... you have been able to work out n' a perfect custom made solution not only yourself, but for many others as well... and achieve it too...❗ So, a double thums up for you...❗👍👍
I love your indoor garden idea, I think it allows for the owner to escape into a small piece of nature. An expat watching in S Florida.
Greetings from Canada 🇨🇦 thanks for the presentation and enjoy the outcome after your amazing transformation of the previous building
Every video I watch of yours just blows my mind! For someone like myself who is a bit (ok a lot 🤣) reclusive… this kind of design is brilliant. I’m in awe of your talent and jealous of your creativity.
Hi Gemma, I love the idea of urban tiny houses but they always seem to lack privacy and outdoor space. Your design is AMAZING! I have watched and rewatched this so many times and it's such a great template to add small changes to make it your own. Now to find me a plot of land in Central London......
Utterly enchanting.
