I Turned this Tricky Abandoned Tiny House into an Elegant Two Bed Home

This super skinny derelict barn measures 9m X 2.5m and only contains a ladder. This video will show you how I turned this awkward building into a well proportioned comfortable family home. This unique house design is perfect for those looking for ideas to renovate super skinny or long buildings while learning about the architect's design process.

This is the kind of thing that makes me love architecture

I really appreciate the inclusion of these 3d render animations, because I think they really bring your ideas to life and make it easier for us viewers to conceptualize it all. Would you ever consider making a video showing snippets of the process of making such renders?

[a.strongwoman]

Came across this by accident but it stopped me in my tracks. THIS is the ultimate show of architectural genius, I've never seen such an awkward building being so exquisitely transformed. 👏👏👏👏❤

[billweeks]

Your spatial ability is amazing and your interiors designs are far more rational yet functional and beautiful than most of the interior designers I have worked with over the years.

[rayrous]

I've always enjoyed architecture.
Your putting the skylight over the stairs was what really made it come alive.

[stephenmanning]

I'd never want to live in such a space, but you've done as well as anyone could to make it possible.

[sarkycutt]

Amazing content! My 8 yr old daughter told me last night that she wants to be an architect. I subbed so we can watch yr videos together. 🎉❤

[steventaylor]

I loved the renders, first class, but I'd love to see the actual finished build as well.

[thefilipinojoe]

👏 great job. I’m a hobby architect and have been designing great little houses for many years. It’s always like working with puzzles to figure out the best use of space. Your plan is top notch ❤

[JohnnyMotel]

I'd like to see the beds on floor runners, then they could be pulled out say 300mm away from the wall, making sheet changes much simpler.

[Tla]

I love the idea that the kitchen being on the bottom floor so you don’t have to carry groceries up stairs.

[Patchy]

Amazing work Gemma! Really love your ideas and presentation style. Keep doing what you're doing. :)

[barryrichardson]

Another fantastic design. I thought after the initial walk through of the interior that there is very little that could be done, considering all the constraints. Wow, was I wrong. Your design is truly amazing. 🙌

[skchatten]

You utilized the space in such a clever way. I just adore the 'hidden' bathroom <3

[sarahtyster]

are you the only architect who knows what they're doing? this is wonderful, clever, enjoyable and very very clever.

[sweetgrasshopper]

This was so enjoyable. It really boosts my dream of a future home. I can easily imagine I would be so happy living there.

[celestialnubian]

A talented architect is just a marvel.

[agnes]

Absolutely genius!
I am not an architect but I do share with you your passion for awkward little buildings turned into functional and beautiful living spaces.

This one speaks to my 'tiny' multi-use heart ♥️ Wow!

You have also possibly solved a layout / stair location for my own unrenovated, narrow, deep, partially underground home here in France - thank you 🙏 I have spent countless days with Sketchup trying to figure out how to make the stairs enhance the layout rather than ruin the layout - but I hadn't made the leap of taking my campervan conversion tricks and applying it to the house 🤦‍♀️ Using the sides of the staircase to become dividing walls, and on to be storage sides is such a fantastic solution.

My house is also narrow and long, with fewer windows due to being terraced by another house either side, and completely underground at the rear of the ground floor. Your designs always offer great new ideas on getting light in, which I'm going to play with and trial. I wonder if you could say what the dimensions are of the floorprint area of these turning stairs, and what height between floors they reach? Stair tread heights & turn angles have given me many a headache figuring them out, so I'm definitely suitably impressed with your stair work ♥️

[carriageofnoreturn.]

I get the vibes of a narrowboat from your design, albeit a two storey one - very similar constraints and with a similar need to build-in furniture. Lovely design.
