"Amplified" Tiny House
"Amplified" Tiny House
Asha MevlanaAsha Mevlana
Who lives there: Asha Mevlana and her Havanese dog named Bali Location: Fayetteville, Arkansas Size: Main house (400 sq ft), Trailer (160 sq ft.), 1 loft bedroom, 1 bath What sets your home apart: The home was designed specifically for my lifestyle. My inspiration: After reading the book, "The Life Changing Magic of Tidying," I got inspired to just live with things that bring me joy which meant scaling down on everything and getting rid of most of my possessions and all of the things that I had accumulated over the years. I also travel quite a bit and wanted to live with just what I needed. About the house: The L-shaped house consists of two separate structures joined by a deck. The main house (400 sq ft), which rests on a solid foundation, features the kitchen, living room, bathroom and loft bedroom. To make the small area feel more spacious, it was designed with high ceilings, windows and two custom garage doors to let in more light. The L-shape of the deck mirrors the house and allows for the two separate structures to blend seamlessly together. The smaller "amplified" structure (160 sq ft) is built on wheels to allow for touring and transportation. This studio is soundproof using recycled denim, and acts as a recording studio/guest bedroom/practice area. But it doesn't just look like an amp, it actually is one -- just plug in your instrument and sound comes through the front marine speakers onto the expansive deck designed for concerts. My favorite part of the home is the large kitchen and the expansive deck that makes the home feel even bigger. The deck also acts as a way to bring the community together where local musicians perform. I love having a the amp trailer as a separate space to practice music. But I especially love all the light with windows and garage doors throughout. Design team: Brian Crabb (designer), Zack Giffin (builder, custom furniture) Vickery Construction (builder) 3 Volve Construction (builder) Design dilemmas: Because the city wasn’t used to having tiny houses there were certain rules that didn’t quite make sense for a tiny house. I wasn’t allowed to have stairs leading up to the loft, only ladders were allowed. Since it was built, the city is beginning to revisit some of the old rules and hopefully things will be changing.

Builder: Brad DeHaan Homes Photographer: Brad Gillette Every day feels like a celebration in this stylish design that features a main level floor plan perfect for both entertaining and convenient one-level living. The distinctive transitional exterior welcomes friends and family with interesting peaked rooflines, stone pillars, stucco details and a symmetrical bank of windows. A three-car garage and custom details throughout give this compact home the appeal and amenities of a much-larger design and are a nod to the Craftsman and Mediterranean designs that influenced this updated architectural gem. A custom wood entry with sidelights match the triple transom windows featured throughout the house and echo the trim and features seen in the spacious three-car garage. While concentrated on one main floor and a lower level, there is no shortage of living and entertaining space inside. The main level includes more than 2,100 square feet, with a roomy 31 by 18-foot living room and kitchen combination off the central foyer that’s perfect for hosting parties or family holidays. The left side of the floor plan includes a 10 by 14-foot dining room, a laundry and a guest bedroom with bath. To the right is the more private spaces, with a relaxing 11 by 10-foot study/office which leads to the master suite featuring a master bath, closet and 13 by 13-foot sleeping area with an attractive peaked ceiling. The walkout lower level offers another 1,500 square feet of living space, with a large family room, three additional family bedrooms and a shared bath.

A new, large porch area with curved steps, walkway and driveway were formed, poured and stamped. Deck Dots lights were embedded in the concrete. We matched the existing perimeter trim and brickwork. Where the shingles were removed from the dormer we used a torch to blacken the new shingles to match. Tongue and groove cedar with a marine varnish sealer was used on the ceiling. The beams are douglas fir. The brackets are from the Simpson Architectural Series. The new entry is a welcoming addition to the new home. Open Door Productions, Matt Francis

Description of project at Malabar The original home was a 3 bedroom brick veneer former Housing Commission home built circa 1960's still in it's original state. Extendahome’s Designer sat down with the client and discussed her needs and wants regarding the extension. Working within her budget he designed a completely new look home. The front entry porch was demolished and a large living room extension added to the front, along with a new timber deck and front steps to create a completely new front entry. The existing rear kitchen wall was demolished and the space extended towards the rear to create a new open space free flowing kitchen with aluminium sliding doors leading onto a massive under cover rear timber deck. A new laundry was added at the rear of the new kitchen. The existing bathroom was stripped out and completely refurbished with an extra large shower, full height tiling and modern new fittings. The existing laundry was demolished to make way for the new staircase leading to the new first floor addition which comprises a large sitting room and 4th bedroom with a shower room also tiled to full height. A new ceramic tiled balcony is accessed by aluminium stacker doors at the rear of the sitting room. The first floor sitting room overlooks a large staircase void creating an airy, open feeling throughout. The windows are all aluminium framed. The roof and walls are fully insulated. The ground and first floor addition was constructed fully on site with all frame and roof cut from stick timber rather than prefab frame and trusses. The first floor cladding is CSR Weathertex selflock ecogroove smooth 300 finish to match the ground floor living extension and compliments the existing face brick to create a new contemporary look to the home. The main roof is all new Monier cement tiles and the rear deck roof is Lysaght colorbond to complete the transformation of this formerly modest home. There were a number of timber support posts required to be installed into the existing ground floor walls with brick supporting piers under the floor, these were seamlessly installed and the walls restored to their original state.
