It's Friday afternoon (on a super-hot day) and we're dreaming of a beach retreat like Nina Tolstrup's 388-square-foot home on the shore in the northeast of Kent, England. The space is sparsely furnished (with her own Pallet Chair design!) and uses simple materials like plywood to create a modern, minimal space...
Nina Tolstrup designed the small weekend home for her family of four. There is a sleeping loft for the adults and bunkbeds for the children. Check out all pictures on Nina's site, Studiomama. Via: Remodelista. Nina recently wrote about building her beach house in The Guardian.

Love it! It's like a playhouse for a family of 4.

I'm a bit overwhelmed by all the wood. A rug?... not so sand-friendly. In any case I'm still totally envious.

So is that a ladder that drops down into the entry hallway to gain access to the loft?
By the way. I freaking love it!

this is what a beach house is meant to be. a place to get out of the sun, a shower to get off the sweat, and just cool.

i love all the tiny living spaces you've been showcasing lately. there was that gypsy caravan bedroom, then the outdoor office, and now this. tiny packaging makes my heart flutter!

I want to be there right now. Colorado is beautiful but I miss the ocean. This house is a little gem - love it!

I really like it. I like all the wood. It reminds me of the little cabin room built for an architecture show at the Austrian Cultural Forum a few years back.
