This week’s Tiny House in a Landscape almost does not look real and you have to follow the link below to see all the photographs. I had the hardest time deciding which one to post and probably should have put them all up.

This is called the Squish Studio and is designed by Saunders Architecture. The building is 322 square feet and is a contemporary artist studio located on Fogo Island, which is in Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada.

The Squish Studio’s white angular form, situated on a rocky strip of coastline that could rival Italy’s western coast offers sharp contrast to the traditional vernacular architecture of the nearby picturesque community of Tilting. As its architect, Todd Saunders, has commented on the studio’s siting, “…it is out of sight, but close.” The approach to the front entry of the studio is dramatic, as the most southern end of the studio rises twenty feet above the ground, in sharp contrast to its most northern tip that measures only half that dimension.

This week’s Tiny House in a Landscape comes to us from the little country of Ireland. I had the privilege of visiting Ireland last summer and it is one of the greenest places I have ever seen.

Known as the Irish Vernacular this home was built in the traditional style of the area. The website gives you information for inspiration to build your own tiny/small home. This one was built for 25,000 euros and took around fifty days to build. Built with the help of friends, family, and neighbors and some professional help as well. Check out interior photos and construction photos at their website: http://www.irishvernacular.com/

This week’s Tiny House in a Landscape is of a little shanty boat called the Charles Andrew. It is part of a fleet of un-powered houseboats moored in Riggs Cove in Georgetown, Maine. The Charles Andrew can sleep up to five and is accessed by a 16 foot skiff. The skiff can also be used to explore the coves and islands in the area. You can rent this little shanty boat, which the owners say is the embodiment of leisure, peace, and romance. No boating experience is required.

This weeks Tiny House in a Landscape is a photograph by Christopher Seufert of a small beach shack located in Provincetown, Massachusetts.

This photo was featured on a fairly new website called Tiny House Swoon which was started recently by Steven Harrell the person behind Tiny House Listings. Steven has a real talent and a love for tiny structures and both sites are growing very rapidly. I recently featured one of my tiny house photos on Tiny House Swoon and hope to contribute more in the future. If this site is new to you be sure and book mark it and visit it often.

This week’s Tiny House in a Landscape was brought to my attention by one of our readers and contributors, Cheyenne Morrison. This is a vintage photograph from Jack Stoddard called “Hermit’s House,” taken in 1972 and is a Sepia-toned photograph. The photo is part of the Plateau Collection in the Tennessee State Museum.

I like the design with a nice front porch, the main living area with the fireplace and either a storage area in the back or it could also be a bedroom. I attempted to find out more information about this home, but without any luck. If you can tell us more about it please do so in the comment section.

This week’s Tiny House in a Landscape is of some cabins in Iceland and was photographed by David duChemin. David shares wall paper photographs and made this one available for his readers during the month of April. I contacted David and he is allowing me to share his photo on the Tiny House Blog.
