london based designer nina tolstrup (a.k.a. studiomama), designed this compact beach house. at a mere 388 sq. ft., the tiny structure manages to fit in a living and dining area, two bedrooms, a bathroom and kitchen. it is built on a set of galvanized steel stilts to protect it from flooding. the exterior is clad in cedar shingles and the interior used softwood. the rear end of the house is stepped down making room for a sleeping loft above. the front features a large window, which looks out onto the sea and a small sitting deck.
