SOUL ARIUM
BACK YARD MICRO-HOME
This Los Angeles micro-home was designed for a minimalist lifestyle. Nested in the back garden of a 1920 Tudor style residence it offers a more simple way of living. With a footprint of just 500 square feet this home retains a sense of spaciousness with high vaulted ceilings and skylights in small spaces that offer ample natural light.
Rustic wood beams constructed from reclaimed barn wood offer a warm and old world feeling with a mix of clean modern and simple traditional materials.
The generously sized deck provides ample outdoor living space with a full sized dining table and bench seating shaded by a trellis above. It is a sanctuary for simple living surrounded by garden vegetation, and soon to be a permaculture landscape.
FOLDING SHIPS LADDER
This alternating tread loft ladder was crafted in close collaboration with metal and wood fabricators. Designed to take up minimal floor area in the living room while remaining comfortable to ambulate up and down for everyday use.
The ladder pivots at the top with a custom ball bearing hinge that allows it to be pushed up against the wall and out of the way when not in use. The alternating treads allow your feet to ambulate exactly in the same proportion as an everyday stair, making it extremely easy to use.
