This Wooden Tiny Home Feels & Looks Like A Beachfront Getaway But Is A Full-Time Dwelling

Posted on by

Tiny homes are one of the most popular home styles in 2023, and I’m pretty sure they’re going to make their way well into 2024. They had started off as a fun and cute trend, but now they’re a space-saving and environment-conscious housing option that is economical as well. They reduce the load on Mother Earth and are a simple and minimal alternative to the imposing and materialistic homes that are not preferred by everyone. And an excellent tiny home that I recently uncovered is the Beach by Raglan Tiny Homes

Designer: Raglan Tiny Homes 

Designed by New Zealand’s Raglan Tiny Homes, the recently completed Beach tiny home features a compact and cozy interior that instantly welcomes you in. The tiny house is non-towable and equipped with a welcoming indoor-outdoor lifestyle and aesthetic, which is accentuated by a part-enclosed deck area. The main section of the home has a width of 2.5m, with the covered deck adding another 2.9m, which covers a total width of 5.4m. The length of the home is 6m.

The exterior of the home is finished in Douglas fir, giving it a warm and minimal aesthetic. Although the layout of the home isn’t very typical and seems more like a beachfront getaway villa, it is in fact intended to be used as a full-time dwelling. An outdoor shower has been outfitted ahead of the entrance, which is teamed up with a small outdoor bathtub, that is concealed under a hatch in the floor. This functions as a quaint outdoor bath for some much-needed pampering sessions.

As you enter the Beach via sliding glass doors, you are welcomed by a combined living room/bedroom space that is equipped with a sofa, and a bed, as well as some storage store. However, this is the only space in the home, there are no other rooms or even a loft, which can be a bit limiting. The tiny home is equipped with a wood-burning stove, shelving, a diesel-powered heating system, and an off-the-grid solar panel setup. You can add an additional studio area if needed.

House boasting an ocean view stands on the precipice in the metaverse

Posted on by

One of my dreams is to be able to have a vacation house where I can bask in my favorite natural views as soon as I open my house. Of course, this will probably remain a dream as that would involve a lot of money and probably a major lifestyle change. But now that we’re inching closer to the metaverse, or at least an initial version of it, this might eventually become possible in a phygital (physical-digital) universe. I can already imagine all the amazing designs that may come close to this dream, at least in my literal dreams.

I could probably say that it was love at first sight with this concept for a metaverse house overlooking the ocean. The Oblivion House is a combination of flowing architecture and natural vistas for a dwelling that is literally on the edge of a cliff, so those who are afraid of falling into deep waters will have to look away. The house itself is shaped like a boat or yacht with glass walls and windows, giving you the best view of the ocean and the surrounding trees and other nature things you can imagine.

Just looking at the images, you already get a sense of “living, well-being, tranquility, calmness, and health” which is what the architect, Miroslav Naskov, imagined when he was designing this metaverse abode. The house has three levels, with the top one being a bedroom, a living space in the middle, and a pool with a deck in the lowest level, which gives off an infinity pool vibe since you’re basically on top of the ocean (although there are rocks directly below). There’s also a garden “outside” of the house and a “garage” for your cars.

The Oblivion House has a flowing, white, and minimalist aesthetic to it that is in harmony with its surrounding environment. There might not be enough privacy as all the walls are made of glass but you probably won’t have any neighbors in this setting. I don’t know if an intricate structure like this can actually be created in the real world, but hey, this is a dream in the metaverse so anything is possible in this world. I for one would like to book this right away if I had enough digital currency in my future life in this metaverse.
