Architect Designs a Playful and Tiny House with a Luscious Garden (House Tour)

A sculptural tiny house enveloped by the garden, Plaster Fun House represents a light-hearted shift from the residential norm. Designed by Sans-Arc Studio, the extension of the tiny house sees the old and new united in a home defined by curves.

Located in Torrensville, a western suburb of Adelaide, Plaster Fun House takes inspiration from its cultural surroundings. Though, a house tour reveals that the primary architectural aspects of the tiny house contrast the immediate built landscape, testifying instead to an art deco style.

Sans-Arc Studio introduces curves into the architecture, interior design and particularly the custom joinery of the tiny house. As well as injecting a playful character into the home, the curves enable effortless movement through the compact space.

Responding to the clients’ request for terrazzo to be used wherever possible, Sans-Arc Studio employs terrazzo benchtops. Stepping down into the extension of the home, the terrazzo material of the kitchen island benchtop unites the old and new aspects of the dwelling, a staggering from kitchen bench to dining surface marks the threshold between new and existing.

Across the façade of the tiny house, natural light plays across the stucco wall treatment; a crafted ode to the Mediterranean-inspired housing of the surrounds. The resulting home is peaceful, artistic and unique, providing the clients with a new and inviting extension.

I love that you also introduce smaller, humbler but very inspired properties and not just ultra luxurious large scale projects. It allows us to get inspiration for our own builds.

This is not tiny, but the perfect size home. so beautiful!

[TheUrbanMinimalist]

OMG! I am obsessed with this house! Everything from the arched windows and doors (custom?) to the muted colors throughout! Minimal but warm. The outstanding green space! Everything is perfect!

The way I click so fast on this video because I used to see this little house on every designer Instagram feed all the time but I never see the interior. I love it how its pretty simple and functional. love the materials that they used in the kitchen mostly and the landscaping. 10/10

The terrazzo countertops in this project looks incredible. Your client was proper keen

[MarsHouseDesign]

I could very easily live in a home like that permanently. It was stunning. I am more into your tiny homes I must say, as that is the path I will be going down.

Wow what an amazing space. As someone else has mentioned, I appreciate that this channel shows a variety of houses from the huge and luxurious to these smaller spaces. Something that I particularly loved about this project that I feel is missing in a lot of others is the sense of cosiness and a truly homely feel, mainly due to the house actually being populated by personal knick knacks. It actually feels lived in.

The arches are fabulous!!! I wish I had them in my home. What a (positive) difference they make. Beautiful design! ❤

[AnnMarieKing]

I am so charmed by this welcoming, cozy space. And the garden, so lush. Beautifully done.

[taniaalencar]

One of the most beautiful homes I have ever seen. 😍

[danaesquires]

This is lovely. It reminds me of travels and suits the garden. It's so nice to see clients valuing preserving their outdoor space as well.

[ReganAtSea]

one of the most tasteful houses i've seen on this channel for a while

[cherieannese]

This is so stunning!!!
Love a humbler sized home done amazingly.
Simplicity is very hard to get right.
They got it right.
What a joy to watch

[MagnoliaEmporium]

Terrific space.... absolutely terrific.... as soon as I finished watching it I immediately shared it with a friend who is a retired architect. As a designer myself for well over 30 years.... I loved every bit of it!

I just might even start ordering the 3x annual book as LOVE IT!

The addition creates a beautiful silhouette to the home. I love the corner bench which is such a great use of space and it receives such great light. Very nice.

[kamakauli]

Wow this is such a gorgeous humble home. Humble materials that absolutely sing

[roselioliveira]

This house is a little gem. The terrazzo is a winner!
