Tiny House Blog

This weeks Tiny House in a Landscape looks like a stormy day in the mountains in a European country. A peaceful setting and an old very unique cabin structure in the woods.

Historically log construction has its roots in Scandinavia and Eastern Europe. Although their origin is uncertain, the first log structures were probably built in Northern Europe in the Bronze Age (about 3500 BC). By the time Europeans began to settle in North America, they had a long tradition of using logs for houses, barns, and other outbuildings in the Scandinavian countries, Germany, Northern Russia and Ukraine.

This weeks Tiny House in a Landscape is a very interesting winter scene. A tiny house buried beneath snow and trees. I’m not sure that this for real or some type of photoshop experiment but I like the results whichever way it is. The cabin looks very cozy with the light shinning through the window. I makes you want to snuggle down in front of a fire and enjoy the comfort of home.

Update: Russ, one of our readers on Facebook found out that this is a photograph taken in Russia. Here is a link to more of his work http://www.photosight.ru/users/70761/

This weeks Tiny House in a Landscape was photographed along the Buffalo River in the Ozark Mountains of Arkansas. I like the way the cabin is framed by the rocks and how it perches above the river.

The Buffalo River offers both swift-running water and placid stretches. Buffalo River – National Park Headquarters is located in the park’s gateway city of Harrison, Arkansas.

This weeks Tiny House in a Landscape was titled by the person who sent to me as “Somewhere in Lativia” and has a very dreamy quality to it. A photograph in black and white it shows a tiny house with a couple of even smaller outbuildings sitting on top of a tiny island. A cute location as long as the water does not rise and mess things up.

It is very close to the mainland as it has a power poll with wires running to it. Most likely a vacation retreat and if you had a small boat it would be a lot of fun.

Per request, I have started a new page above called the Tiny House Landscape. This page pulls all the Tiny House in a Landscape posts together and you can now easily page back through them and find your favorite one.

This weeks Tiny House in a Landscape, I believe it is Stabbur in Norway (photo sent in by a reader). Someone recently sent me a bunch of links to these Stabbur homes similar to this and although I’ve currently misplaced the email, I plan to find it and do a complete post on this type of structure built in Norway. If you are familiar with the photographer please let me know so that I can give the person full credit.

This may not be a true tiny house but I guess that is not to out of the ordinary for some of our Tiny House in a Landscape posts. The idea is to get you dreaming and your imaginations flowing.

This thatched roof getaway looks like a place to relax and take in your surroundings and enjoy the outdoors. A place to enjoy some peace and quiet and some companionship. I think I could relax here without any problem. How about you?

John Chapman who’s idea it was to start the “Tiny House in a Landscape” feature recently sent me this photo which just happens to be taken in New Zealand.

I wish the photo was larger but it is a neat shot of an old tiny building with beautifully textured painted walls beside some old tracks. Probably some type of storage building but I think it could be turned into a cute little house.

Thanks Russ for the information on Peter Kurdulija who took this photograph. You can view more of his photos here. I am going to get in touch with him and get permission to use it. I am out of town again with limited internet access so will do it as soon as I can.
