14 More Amazing Tiny Homes! | Tiny House Ideas

Tiny houses are all the rage! Why? It all began with the  small house movement , an architectural and social movement that advocates living simply in tiny houses. General speaking, a tiny house is any home less than 1,000 square feet, built with the intention of living purposefully and sustainably. A conscious movement to have less, and do more. Or, to do more with less. Either way, the tiny house is a step toward using your space; walking away from the trend of having space for the sake of space. Tiny houses are lovable and creative homes. Homes that you can very easily order, buy off the market, or build yourself ! From small and basic (plywood everything), to astoundingly complicated (walls that move), we've rounded up some more of our own favorites here! Check them out!

Would love to see the inside of these homes, especially the victorian one. How many sq feet??

I pulled a 33 ft RV around for 14 years ( and lived in it) and I am more than a little aware of what an vehical can pull as far as weight goes. I see these tiny homes made of a LOT of wood(heavy) and on wheels. But there is no mention of how much they weigh. I ended up pulling my (lived in) RV with a one ton dually. Even tho I had been pulling it with a 1/2 ton that was set up to tow. The wt of truck and RV only came to 17,000 lbs. which is a feather wt for my truck ( I had it set up to tow a 40 ft Fifth wheel which would have weighed in at around 24 to 34,000 plus pounds. The truck was rated to pull 36,000 lbs. Sooo seeing these tiny houses on wheels and. no info for wt. is a little scary to say the least. Where would I get THAT info?

C’est vraiment super. J’adore la table (surtout quand on est invité). Je ne sais pas si tu pourras nous accueillir: un enfant et un chien… Je regarde de temps en temps voir ou vous en êtes, c’est vraiment sympat. Étant anti “livre-visage” je ne peux pas te laisser de message. En reregardant cette vidéo j’en profite donc. Nous, nous allons construire un maison. Ca devrait commencer dans quelques semaines. Je tiendrais donc un blog “Giant house tiny journey” car nous ne pourrons plus la déplacer et ruiné par l’emprunt nous ne pourrons plus voyager. J’essayerais de te joindre par tel un de c’est 4. Les USA nous manque mais pour se consoler nous irons en écosse cet été. Bise à vous trois!

PS : je ferais l’effort d’écrire en anglais la prochaine fois. Pour toi ça ne changera rien tu devras quand même traduire pour Jenna.

Haha, merci pour ton message l’ami! J’ai vu ton appel mais j’étais en pleine interview pour la télé… Dis-moi, t’es encore sur Besançon? On devrait passer en France fin novembre, mi-décembre. Je te rappelle dès que j’y pense, ou tu peux me rappeler aussi. Bises!

que linda experiencia, los felicito desde Argentina, son unos genios.

Welcome to Skyo! I feel honored that you wanted to stay at our place. Just wish I could have been there to say hi and see your beautiful little home in person.

Thank you so much for your hospitality. This place is so amazing we might change the locks 😉 Seriously though, we are the ones honored to stay on your beautiful property!

Hey, there! I found this house and decided to watch the video (it is PRETTY amazing btw!) and I couldn’t stop thinking… How do you have internet? Is it included in your house…? Do you pay for it every month…?Do you stop at cafeterias and restaurants every day? Could you please explain?? Im confused!

Thank you! We use our phones as hotspots and we use free internet whenever we can.

While tree houses are often associated with childhood, they can be the perfect adult retreat. They offer a cozy space to relax and unwind, surrounded by nature. And since they’re typically built on stilts or raised platforms, they offer stunning views that traditional homes simply can’t match.

Come Tour Southern California’s first LEGAL Tiny House Village!

This post contains affiliate links .

One of the biggest questions we get here at Tiny House Talk is, “Where do I park it!?” Well, sister-brother duo Melissa and Jon Block of Tiny House Block transformed a run-down trailer park into California’s first legal tiny house village, where they not only welcome short and long term renters, but rent out land to existing tiny house owners. It’s located on the Pacific Crest Trail, in Mount Laguna, beautifully nestled in the trees.

Tiny House Block currently houses 17 tiny homes, each with its own unique theme (including the very popular 420 House, which is marijuana themed). If you’re looking to just try out the tiny life, you can stay for as little as one night and book via Airbnb. But if you’re interested in renting a tiny home long term, you can check out their price guide here and contact them for more details. You can even purchase one of the tiny homes from the village (prices vary).

Already have a tiny home? For $750 a month you get land, water, sewage and trash. Utilities typically come to another $50 per month.

Jenna at Tiny House Giant Journey did a great interview and video tour with Melissa and Jon, so be sure to check that out below! We’ll be following up with tours of each of the Tiny House Block homes, so make sure to sign up for our tiny house newsletter so you don’t miss any.

How amazing would it be to wake up every morning with all these trees!

Each house has its own theme: This one is the Farmhouse, complete with barn red siding.

The inside is quaint and homey.

The Pura Video has a lovely tropical vibe — and look at that second floor porch! This single mom and her daughter moved in to get out of the city and enjoy an affordable lifestyle. Watch their tour here !

Inside you get a nice staircase up to the bedroom loft.

The covered porch on the Crystal Zen is perfect for enjoying the outside space.

And inside you get a comfy couch to lounge on.

Here’s the famous 420 house from the outside. (By the way, you can get on the roof!)

It’s filled with cannabis-related decor, like this marijuana leaf bedding.

And here’s the shower curtain.

Totally agree. Go chickens!

11 Best Tiny Houses With Genius Floorplans (Videos & Pics)

Over the last years, we have interviewed and filmed a ton of tiny houses. Houses on wheels primarily.

Some of our home tours have gotten over 1 million views on Youtube, and if you have looked on Youtube for “Tiny Houses” you will have seen some of our home tours.

In this post, we have gathered the very best of the best. We hope you will enjoy it as much we enjoyed visiting all these wonderful people in their amazing tiny homes!

Table of Contents

We’d like to thank each and every one of these amazing people for letting us film their homes. We are very thankful for the opportunity to share all these great tiny spaces with our readers!

Before We Start…

We have something you need to see if you are in the process of finding out whether a tiny house is something for you.

We put together a list of the best furniture ideas for tiny houses and homes. It’s solutions like these that makes people realize that they could actually make it work inside a small space.

[su_box title=”Tip”]Check our list of the best tiny house furniture that should undoubtedly inspire you to see how it’s possible to get all you need in a small space! There are 23 ideas to get your creative juice flowing[/su_box]

Let’s dive in!

Tiny House by Chattanooga

We had the pleasure of filming one of the fine tiny houses from Chattanooga   last winter.

They do a really good job and they are also very popular. The houses are built kinda like a 5th wheeler with a gooseneck mount for a truck. And you need a good truck to two this bad boy.

We also took a bunch of pictures from inside the house.

Let’s start with some of the pictures.

The inside is very spacy and the kitchen area takes up a lot of the space. This makes perfect sense as many tiny house people love to cook. (Trust me, I’ve interviewed a lot of them 🙂

See more pictures of the Chattanooga tiny house here .

We love how this house is very open, white, and just overall spacey. There are many different ways to configure the house. You can seal off the bedroom area above the toilet among other things.

Here’s the video home-tour we did of the house: 

Modern Tiny House from Denmark

This tiny house is actually built and designed 30 min from where we live! We live in Denmark and last year one of our friends called us to let us know that we needed to go to “Odder” – a small village outside Aarhus (Denmark’s 2nd largest city) where we live.

And we were NOT disappointed when we went to see that little cute house!

Man, these guys did a great job with the design and floorplan of this house. It’s just different than what you normally see and definitely has that Northern/Scandinavian minimalistic and modern feel to it.

Here’s a shot from the outside.

The dark panels and the staircase really make this house stand out. We really like the mix of dark and light colors here.

Here’s the interior design of the house. The layout is very unique and it really makes sense when you study the floor plan.

There’s plenty of space upstairs and the open space in the middle is great when you need that little extra space.

The space above the bathroom/toilet can be used for watching TV. Notice the dining table as well as the cute and stylish windows.

Maria really enjoyed filming this Tiny house. It was really fun to actually film a Danish tiny house (As we are Danish), But it was also very different from many of the other designs we have seen so far.

Here’s the video home-tour we did of the house last year: 

The floorplan (as well as the images) are from their website (in Danish, but there’s a translate button at the lower right corner).

Bear’s tiny homes

Mark from Bear’s tiny homes   is another really great guy we had the pleasure of meeting last year. He showed us around in his really cool tiny house. Lot’s of great features here as well.

The front porch can slide completely in under the house to make it easier to transport. The house is 24 feet (7,3 meter) long and 207 sq.ft. (19 M2).

It’s a very nice house with cozy cabin-style wooden walls and surfaces.

Here you really get the feeling that you are inside a nice warm cabin in the woods. A very cozy and open space that instantly inspires you to relax and take it easy.

The simple metal lamp in the center of the house is a great touch as well. A very unique house and not like anything else we have seen.

The wood finish is consistent throughout the house.

Of course, you can tell from the pictures but the house had a really nice smell to it. You kind of felt like being in the middle of the f orest. One of the very nice features of this house is how they have placed the master bedroom downstairs.

So many tiny houses would have you sleep upstairs but not everybody can climb the ladder. Especially for elder people, this layout is really great.

Here’s the home tour we filmed with Mark inside the house:

Tiny house with a big porch

The next house we filmed a few weeks before the one above.

We stayed in it for two nights to really get the feel of it and we loved every second of it!

It’s a really nice layout for a super tiny house. You basically just have the kitchen and living area downstairs and then you climb the stairs and enter the sleeping loft. I LOVED sleeping in this cute little home.

Being able to wake up in the middle of nature and just open the window and enjoy your little sleeping loft was a great experience.

Here’s a picture of the house from the side. It has wheels below the little front porch and can be towed.

This is the entrance on the left (behind the cap) where you enter directly into the kitchen/living room area.

We love the white and modern feel of this house. Many American designs are more traditional and covered with darker wood and paint, which can be super-cozy as well. But for a house this tiny we typically prefer very light colors on the walls.

Upstairs you have the sleeping loft which is very tiny.

You can easily sleep up there but you have to bend your neck to get up there as you will see in the video below. We had a little trouble getting up there but we are also both pretty tall.

It’s one of the smallest floor plans we have seen, for a house that didn’t feel too small or claustrophobic (at all).

I think another reason for this is how they have placed the windows. We got a lot of daylight into the main living area.

As we said, we stayed in this tiny house for two nights and it was a great experience.

We loved everything about it and we could easily live in a house like this if we didn’t have kids (luckily we have Max).

And here is a drawing of the layout.

Titan tiny homes

We met Bob from Titan Tiny Homes in Florida last year and he was also kind enough to let us film his amazing tiny house.

It’s a 28 feet (8,5 meter) model and it was brand new when we filmed it. Another really great layout and some really nice and clean white lines along the walls and ceiling.

It has 256 sq.ft. (24 m2) on the ground floor and it has 150 sq.ft. (14 m2) upstairs.

Here’s the kitchen area with glitter on the wall. Pretty cool.

They did a really great job on mixing black and white into the space to create some masculinity and style.

It also has a full burner stow and a ton of cabinet space. So storage is not going to be a problem.

The loft is spacious and you have a great view over the house from here. Bob also put some nice lamps on the wall between the windows which are really cozy during night time.

It has a California King mattress upstairs with a really nice sleeping arrangement. There’s also space for another TV around the bed or you can choose to have extra storage for clothes or stuff.

In the video, you get an explanation of why the doors are placed on the side in the back of the house.

It makes room for a much larger living area and when you add the high ceiling you get a very open and nice tiny house. It just doesn’t feel small or squeezed in any way. Great job!

The second sleeping loft above the toilet can also be used for storage. So you don’t have to sell everything or do any extreme downsizing to be able to live in this space.

“The Abbot” by Cornerstone Tiny homes

The next one is one of our favorites. Maybe because Brett was such a great guy. We love the color of this house as well.

This is a 27-foot (8 meters) model with a 12-foot (3,5 meter) front porch

Blue is such a great color for the exterior of a tiny house if you ask us.

The little round window is a cute detail and we also fell for the big window and the Murphy bed !

I can’t believe more people put a Murphy bed in their tiny house. We honestly haven’t seen it before and we have filmed a ton of these houses!

Here’s a shot from the inside of the house.

Very spacious and light. It didn’t really feel like a tiny house when we are sitting there. It felt more like a regular living room And I think the reason would be the amount of daylight coming into the living area through the big windows.

I love how they have these huge windows to let the daylight into the living space.

And here’s a little shot of the Murphy bed. But you can’t really catch this on a photo. Watch the video below instead.

Brett shows the Murphy bed around the 4:50 mark.

The (downstairs) bedroom has a barn-door-style door to close it off. When the Murphy bed is down you can phone got a little writing desk. And inside the Murphy bed they have put in lighting and an electrical outlet so you can charge your phone at night.

This next house is very different from the other tiny houses we have visited. It’s located centrally in the city in a garden.

Dutch tiny garden pod

We filmed this cute little garden pod in The Netherlands. The owner was kind enough to show us around after we talked to the architect behind the project.

It’s working as an office space but it has everything you need to live in it: A kitchen( ette ), sleeping sofa, and a toilet.

The house is 280 sq.ft. (26 m2) and it has some very unique features like the top window section (easiest to see in the video below) and some beautiful wooden panels outside the huge windows.

Inside the house, they have built-in bookshelves all the way at one of the sides. It looks great and they have a special-made ladder that attaches to the shelving units so it’s fixed.

A very nice twist!

I think this is a little too much with all the stuff but it is used as an office So the owner chose to have a lot of books and work material close by. Here’s a shot that was taken from the entrance of the house.

You have the little kitchenette to the left and the door in the middle leads to the bathroom, which you can see in the video below (along with the rest of the house).

The best detail is the loft windows. They are angled so the light enters most of the day (explained in the video below).

This little garden pod was really a gem.

Hidden in a city-garden it had everything you need to live in it full-time, even though the owner uses it as an office at the moment.

The next house is another tiny house on wheels.

“Skylight” from Free Range Homes

This is also a very nice tiny house. We love the layout of this one. It’s 24 feet (7,3 meter) long.

We also filmed this house last year and it’s so unique and well done that we had to include it in this post.

They actually put a tub inside this house, but that was hard to catch with the camera lens so you will have to check the video below to see that .

Here’s Maria sitting on the sleeping loft.

Notice how natural and light everything seems. It was a pleasure being up there and it didn’t feel small at all, probably because they have given everything a light finish.

Again, that’s really something we recommend people do with the tiny homes. It just makes it feel bigger!

The dining area (right next to the entrance on the left) is also super spacious. You can easily sit 8 persons here when you add chairs around the table.

The table can be separated into two parts and placed along the wall to the left (besides the entrance). You can see that motion in action in the video below.

A REALLY neat detail that we really loved!

And of course, there’s plenty of storage built-into the seats. You can lift up the seat of the bench and have a ton of stuff down there.

Just as a lot of the other tiny houses this house had a full-size fridge and a four-burner stove.

So you don’t have to compromise on the kitchen space and interior. For most of the houses, we have seen people really like to cook. So it’s important to have what you need to cook a good meal.

“A New Beginning” tiny home (one of our absolute favorites!)

We had the pleasure of filming Adam Lehman’s home-built tiny house at the Tiny House Festival north of Colorado last year. He actually built everything here himself and he did an amazing job!

The house is 270 sq.ft. (25 m2) and we were impressed by how much storage and space it had. You can read more about it on this Facebook page .

The tiny windows at the top is a really nice feature that adds so much atmosphere to this design!

Here’s the view from the entrance and up towards the sleeping loft. The loft is super spacious because the ceiling is extra high.

The contrast between the white and dark wood is great and really gives this house that extra atmosphere.

The dark colors on the inside are the same color as the darker wood on the exterior. Just a cool details we didn’t notice at first.

The table can fold down and make more floor space in the house. A great feature. We also love the little kitchen area and the sofa below the big window. There’s a lot of light in this house with all these windows. There are more than 13 windows as we start counting!

This is a picture taken from the sleeping loft toward the entrance of the house.

You should absolutely watch this video we filmed inside and outside the house last year. There is so many great details we cannot capture on a photo. We explain it all in the video.

Danish tiny home with huge porch

We had the pleasure of visiting Karen Jelnes in her tiny home in our hometown Aarhus. She showed us around her summer home which she built with her husband. They are both architects and as soon as you see the house you can feel the love and passion they threw into this project.

It’s only 236 sq.ft. (22 m2) and they live here with their two kids during the summer period.

From the outside, you can enter the house through the kitchen which is the main part of the house.

The glass-doors can slide open to include the huge front porch as part of the living area.

The porch is a good place to eat and be outside even when it rains.

The kitchen is split into two parts: one indoor part and another outdoor part. A fun way to include the outdoor space in the daily life of a family.

Here’s Karen in the indoor part of the kitchen. You can look directly out into the garden area and you really feel connected to nature when you standing here with the glass-doors aside.

The outdoor part of the kitchen is made with the same wood finish as the exterior of the house. Very nice detail.

There’s much more to this house but we didn’t get any good pictures from the rest of the house. So be sure to watch the video below to see how they manage to fit two children in a pretty small bedroom.

Small brick house in San Francisco (160 sq.ft.)

This small house in San Francisco is totally it’s own.

It was originally a laundry boiler room and now serves as a guest apartment. It has a full-size kitchen and a living room.

It’s squeezed in between other buildings, and the cute factor is high!

The toilet is in the mezzanine section

When you climb up the stairs, you first reach the mezzanine section, where you find the tiny toilet and drawers with space for clothes and belongings.

It’s small, but above the entrance the architects placed a skylight, to lighten up the area.

When you climb the last stairs you get to the sleeping loft. Besides the bed there’s a small window, which is a very nice touch:

The apartment is very clean and simple – not for everyone, but for the city dwellers with a taste for simplicity it can be the perfect spot. The kitchen is big enough to actually cook, and there’s extra table space under the stairway.

Here you can see how the rooms are divided.

You have to like cooking if you were to live in this space full time, as it takes up most of the ground floor.

The entrance door is big, and the glass sections let in a lot of light.

The architect placed the upper floor on top of the brick-part, and I would personally have kept the brick-style all the way up, but it does fit in well with the surrounding buildings.

Photographer: Cesar Rubio  and architect: Christi Azevedo .

Prototype apartment from New York

This is a test apartment from New York City, showing some cool furniture designs.

We especially love how the flatscreen slides out in front of the left side  murphy bed , to transform the room for a movie night.

The Murphy bed to the left might only be used as a guest bed though, because I don’t think you would sleep this close permanently in a “real apartment” space. So it could probably be replaced by a mattress.

The Murphy bed couch is always a great touch, and a really good idea for a studio apartment, where you only have one room.

You NEED to see this as well..

We have written a really good article with 35 great ideas on how to get the most out of a studio apartment .

Small Yet Mighty: 5 Tiny Homes That Are Surprisingly Big in Luxury

When you think of a tiny home, do you imagine a cramped space where you can barely squeeze into the bathroom and you hit your head every time you sit up in bed?

If you’d like to live tiny without suffering terribly, then take a look at five tiny homes that are surprisingly lavish.

They come with full(ish) kitchens, large shower stalls, and even decent-sized bedrooms. Some of the prices aren’t necessarily so tiny, either.

Still, with home prices and mortgage rates still in the stratosphere, one of these downsized dwellings could certainly help curb your bills.

Check out these unexpectedly luxurious tiny homes.

21018 Yankee Valley Rd, Hidden Valley Lake, CA

Price: $455,000 Tiny house with a tiny house: This 432-square-foot tiny home comes with a tiny home: a 20-square-footer set on an RV trailer.

The main house is stick-built with bamboo flooring, a solar system, butcherblock countertop, stainless-steel farmhouse sink, free-standing fridge/freezer, and washer/dryer unit. There’s even an 18-square-foot loft area.

The home has wheelchair access, with a ramp and stall shower, and a front patio with a hot tub.

The two tiny homes sit on 5 acres with fenced garden areas and animal pens. Located in Hidden Valley Ranchos, this property has no homeowners association fees.

(Realtor.com)

2123 Yellow Feather Ln, Paso Robles, CA

Price: $299,000 Family living: This 432-square-foot home could fit a large family as it comes with five sleeping areas. Three are full bedrooms, and the other two have built-in bunk beds. There are two bathrooms and an outdoor washer/dryer combo.

This property includes access to Lake Nacimiento, and the Heritage Ranch community it belongs to offers a boat launch ramp, two swimming pools, pickleball courts, security, and children’s parks.

Bishop Rd, Lisbon, NH 

Price: $210,000 Woodsy wonder: Nestled on a 5-acre lot in the forest, this 256-square-foot house comes with 860 feet of Ammonoosuc River frontage.

Described as fully insulated and heated, with the “Cadillac of composting toilets,” this home comes with wood-paneled walls and floors, a large farmhouse sink, and a butcherblock counter.

If this tiny house is too tiny for you, it also comes with permit approval to build a three-bedroom dwelling, septic system, and additional driveway.

(Realtor.coom)

27 Sunshine Park, Fairplay, CO

Price: $195,000 Fair tiny home: This 206-square-foot charmer built by Tumbleweed promises a “thoughtfully designed space maximizing every inch for comfortable living.”

Featuring a knotty pine interior, loft area, large sink with a gooseneck faucet, sitting area, full AC, and vaulted ceilings, this tiny house feels larger than it is.

You own the lot, so there are no monthly lease payments. You can also rent out the lot, which typically brings in $700 a month. There is access to a clubhouse with a comfortable living room with a fireplace, a full kitchen, a game room, grills, and a washer/dryer.

The listing says the tiny house can be rented out for a not-so-tiny $1,500 a month.

5193 E Heise Rd Unit 6, Ririe, ID

Price: $149,000 Ideal in Idaho: Located in Kelly Canyon, this rather spacious 591-square-foot home comes with a primary bedroom with a queen bed, large closet, built-in dresser, and access via glass doors to a covered back porch. The primary bedroom also connects to a full bath with a large shower and a sink with cabinet space.

The kitchen is fully equipped with a fridge, range, dishwasher, and microwave.

Hosting friends and family will be a breeze in this home. There’s a dining table and living area with a full-size sleeper sofa, built-in storage, and flat-screen TV. There’s also a spacious loft area with twin beds.

The furnishings are included in the sale, but the land is not. The home currently has a short-term tenant.

Best Tiny Home Design

Best barns inc. arlington storage shed kit.

If you have big plans to use the unit for more than storage or a fitness room, check your local zoning guidelines and restrictions. Some of the kits include insulation, windows, locked doors, and flooring. To make your shopping experience as seamless as possible, we listed the specifics, including dimensions, materials, and benefits. Below, check out 15 charming tiny houses and storage sheds you'll be proud to own.

This tiny home is perfect for anyone looking for a modern aesthetic and something that's actually inhabitable. It has a modular design that's customizable and is made of sturdy pine wood to help withstand bad weather conditions. Plus, it comes with floor covering and a panel roof, whereas many other tiny home kits require separate purchases.

Attention, plant parents: It's time to get the greenhouse your trees, shrubs, and flowers deserve. Though this isn't exactly what comes to mind when we picture a traditional greenhouse (or a mini home, for that matter), we're loving how the Dutch door and crisp white color instantly add charm to your outdoor space. It also comes pre-cut, primed, and ready to be painted.

Finally, your colonial dreams can come true! This charming unit features gable windows, double doors, and a full second-floor loft with four to six feet of headroom. The light fixtures, paint, and shingles are not included, but that's an opportunity to put your own stamp on the place.

Once this prefab find goes up, it's not coming down. All of the wood is dip-treated, which is a technique to help preserve it, and it's weather resistant. The screened windows with shutters let fresh air in and keep leaves and dirt out. It makes a sturdy mini garage , shed , or even tiny house.

Handy Home Manhattan

The eight-foot wide doors of this tiny home open up and leave ample room for the prefab to be used as a garage, studio, or shed.

You can even adapt the side door and windows to be exactly where you want them for a one-of-a-kind design.

With sturdy galvanized steel walls, this prefab shed is durable and has an industrial design that makes for a great DIY storage unit. The doors are designed, so that you can easily padlock them and it comes in a steel gray color or a fun bright blue. It works best as a storage space or work shed, and will help keep your backyard a bit more organized.

Handy Home Products Hudson Wooden Storage Shed

What are the benefits of owning vs. renting?

Owning a home can help you build equity, offers tax deductions and fixed monthly payments, and gives you a sense of permanence. When you rent, your lease sets the price, your place isn’t really yours, and there are no tax benefits or financial freedom. There are many benefits to owning a home that you can’t get with renting.

How a Tiny Studio Apartment Was Transformed into a Swank Sanctuary

It’s 575 square feet of pure atmosphere.

When Robert Rowe first laid eyes on the unrenovated studio in a prewar building in Manhattan’s Chelsea neighborhood, an inspiration hit him like a brick from its facade: Mildred Pierce.

If he could transfer to the small space just a soupçon of the glamour of Michael Curtiz’s 1945 noir masterpiece—the Art Deco–meets–Spanish Revival house in California’s San Fernando Valley, Joan Crawford’s chic office in the restaurant in Laguna Beach, the masculine sexiness of the Malibu beach house—he would have the perfect aerie. He didn’t want a literal adaptation, just a feeling, a place to repair to between his many travels as head of international advertising for W magazine, which include managing offices in Paris and Milan.

“It’s a 1938 building with a spectacular Deco lobby, so I wanted to give it the feeling of a bachelor pad of that time,” Rowe explains. “I loved the idea of a bungalow in the city.”

Two years later, he has created 575 square feet of pure atmosphere, the ultimate gentleman’s hideaway where not an inch is wasted or unplanned. Yet with the light across Seventh Avenue flowing in through large windows, there is a sense of openness that makes the place feel especially expansive.

It helps that the studio has fantastic bones. In the renovation, Rowe kept the arched doorways, and the layout features hallways as well as a raised platform for the bed to give the illusion of separate living spaces. “People sitting on the sofa always ask where the bedroom is because they don’t even see the bed,” he says. “Their eyes just fly right over to the window.” But it is Rowe’s unerring sense of proportion and whimsical mixing of objects that make it a showplace.

The apartment is a primer on how to focus on function and harmony rather than getting caught up in provenance. While there are valuable pieces, including a geometric C. Jeré wall sculpture, and custom furniture designed to fit the limited dimensions, some of Rowe’s most prized possessions were scored on the cheap.

A perfect example is the amber glass lamp that sits atop a black-lacquer and rosewood sideboard by Bernhardt. Rowe bought the lamp for $99 at Home Depot a half dozen years ago, shantung shade included. The lamp had a place of honor in his last home, a townhouse in Brooklyn, and he plans to take it with him forever. “Every single person who comes in here falls in love with it,” he says. “I get so much pleasure out of having this $99 lamp on top of that nice piece.”

Across the room sits an impressive bust that at first glance looks Roman but, on close inspection, is actually made of papier-mâché. “If it were plaster, that would seem so pretentious. I mean, I live in a studio. But papier-mâché?”

Still, he concedes that there are places where “fun” doesn’t cut it in an apartment so tiny. His bed, with its upholstered headboard and nailhead trim, had to be bespoke, in a size somewhere between full and queen, in order to fit onto the platform and still leave enough room to enjoy the view. And his desk, which doubles as a dining table, was made to fit exactly behind the sofa. “You have to know when to spend money, and when you don’t have to,” Rowe says.

Creating atmosphere without clutter involves seeing every corner of the space as its own little universe, he says, and making hard choices. The rather grand entryway is wallpapered in a faux-bois pattern, has a lacquered ceiling, and is lit dramatically, with a large mirror leaning on a burl wood cabinet to make the area seem even more impressive. Behind his desk hangs a collection of midcentury oils that evoke his childhood outside of Pittsburgh, visions of the ruins of industrialism painted by artists of the WPA, a movement he discovered as a boy while staring at the many murals throughout the Rust Belt city. An ampersand-and-ellipsis wall sculpture made of poured glass by Rob Wynne, whose work is often featured by architect Peter Marino in his designs for Dior stores, is placed beside an ornate Chinese Coromandel screen.

But the apartment is far from museum-like. In fact, one of his criteria for all his furnishings is that they stand up to real life. Rowe hosts plenty of cocktail parties, often with more than a dozen people balancing their drinks on the 1970s-era chest he picked up when Diane von Furstenberg auctioned off the contents of her storied West Village office and residence complex in 2005.

And Rowe lives for visits from his nieces and nephews, who sleep on an air mattress—wedged perfectly into the space allotted it, of course—and joyfully keep him up all night with their animated stories and playfulness.

“I don’t want them to think it’s unacceptable to jump on the furniture,” Rowe says. “You want something that’s interesting and elegantly turned out without being precious. That seems like a pretty good goal, whether it’s how you look or how you live.”
