Despite its modest exterior this 400 square foot cabin boasts a whole host of impressive design touches
from the hard wood paneling to the exposed brickwork
Visitors would never suspect with this minuscule home is hiding
But there's one detail that reportedly sets this humble abode in Cobleskill
New York apart from every other home in America and it's found in the bathroom
Over the decades houses have generally been getting bigger in the u.s. Back in 2015
Though according to the Census Bureau lot sizes peaked at an average of two thousand six hundred eighty nine square feet
Since then homes have been getting smaller and a trend for space-saving dwellings has taken off as of
2017 the average size of a single-family home in the US had fallen to around two thousand five hundred ninety nine square feet
Indeed the tiny house movement has been gaining traction
With more and more people opting to live in dwellings of less than one thousand square foot
However for a home to truly be defined as being tiny
It's generally agreed that it has to be under 400 square foot and the Cobleskill cabin is a perfect example of a micro home
The house was erected by Lille lodges based in Bear Creek, Alabama
And it comes complete with a lounge a fully fitted kitchen a master suite
Bathroom and a loft area which functions as a pair of guest bedrooms the builders meanwhile
Described the cabin as being the most advanced smart cabin ever produced
Indeed the cabin houses some elements which one might expect to be more commonly found in a high-end
Luxury home rather than in a cabin in the woods
Furthermore the dinky dwellings ingenious use of space has actually seen it being featured on fYI networks. Tiny house nation
Thanks to some large windows
The living area is bright and the space comes with the cathedral ceiling and patio doors that lead out on to the terrace
The lounger also features built-in within bookcases a wall-mounted flat screen TV and a log fire
One can all too easily imagine curling up here during the cold winter nights
Interior design buffs will also be impressed by the muted color palette
Which blends neutral gray shiny silver and rustic stone surfaces to create a particularly peaceful ambience
The kitchen meanwhile looks surprisingly spacious and is fitted with all the modern conveniences
You would expect from a dream vacation home
There's a full-sized oven a fridge freezer and a dishwasher
but the designers also added a touch of elegance with a white marble top breakfast bar and
Spotlights on the ceiling then there's the master bedroom
Which is minimal and fuss-free a huge bed commands most of the space
positioned in the middle of the room yet
The room doesn't seem cramped the wood effect adds warmth while semi-sheer curtains and thick fluffy
Blankets make the suite feel both sumptuous and homely
Guests meanwhile can sleep upstairs in the Attic which has been split into two bedrooms and the first comes with cotton candy
Colored sheets and a white canopy over the double bed, although the second room exudes an indoor camping vibe
Thanks to a thick black sheet hung from the ceiling
There's a bright orange picnic rug to curl up and end a Gaslight within arm's reach of the bed
However, it's inside the bathroom that you'll find. The little lodges piece de resistance
It's not the stainless steel accents the shower or the pebbles flooring
This cabin is in fact apparently home to the one and only incinerating toilet in the whole of the United States a toilet
Which sends your waste straight to the furnace while an out-of-the-way location may mean you need some unorthodox
plumbing solutions a smaller home comes with a number of benefits
Not only is it more economical to run but downsizing is also good for the environment
more compact living spaces use less energy and require fewer raw materials to construct so they get the thumbs-up from
eco-warriors
Indeed the tiny home trend has inspired designers around the world to explore how they can make the best use of small spaces
One impressive example comes in the shape of the yo home designed by Simon wood Roth
Despite being a millionaire
Woodruff has direct experience of living in a compact home as he lives in a houseboat moored on the River Thames in London, England
the now 66 year old British entrepreneur
Previously dreamed up the popular food chain. Yo
sushi and appeared on the business reality TV show Dragons Den with the help of UK firm Glen house
architects though
He took a sign step into urban planning the yo home was designed to enable a limited space to be
transformed into multiple rooms
The concept meant that the whole layout of the home could be changed over the course of the day
Thanks to moving parts and fold-out furniture
For example a sunken seating area can be transformed into the bedroom using the counter wave system
In fact Woodruff's design allows the bed to be raised and lowered using a small motor other
Space-saving features include a dining table which rises from the floor with the touch of a button
Once done with it residents can lower the table back down and close it away using theater-style hatches
Meanwhile, the kitchen can be completely stowed behind sliding doors perfect for hiding clutter when guests come to visit
homes help shape our lives
Wood raft old design they are our refuge and our rock
Since the invention of the city centre apartment, we've never really reinvented it yo home
Is that new invention?
moving parts draw on a wealth of engineering
technology taken from fields as diverse as yacht and automotive design and the mechanics of stage production allowing the
transformation of a 40 square metre
430 square foot space into a much bigger home
woodruff continued the concept was first put on public display at the London Design Festival in
2012 by
2016 plans had been put forward to develop 24 apartments in Manchester's new Islington area
Planning permission was granted later in
2016 though the council had previously withheld its consent over issues around parking and affordable housing provision
that year yo homes managing director
Jack Spurrier described plans to develop apartments and major hubs across the globe where space is at a premium
the company's larger aims reportedly stretch from Japan and China to
Argentina and the US Spurrier said the long-term vision is to build blocks of single space Geo
Homes and city centers around the world from Manhattan and Buenos Aires to Tokyo and Shanghai
changing the way people live in small spaces whilst addressing the growing population issues if
The plans prove to be a success then we may see compact but luxurious spaces like the Cobleskill
Cavern popping up all over the world
What's more the yo home could provide a template on which houses of the future are modeled
The concept allows one room to be put to multiple uses
Creating what might be seen as a more. Dynamic way of living
Meanwhile, the yo home prototype is just half the size of little lodges tiny cabin proving that small can be perfect
