Proving not all tiny houses look the same, Orange Architects designed the Holiday Home to impress. Located just minutes from the North Sea on the Dutch Island of Texel, this modern cabin boasts a bold exterior and a sculptural interior, all within 753 square feet.

Being that it's a holiday retreat and people tend to spend time together, the spaces inside pull double duty. During the day, the home is open with spaces expanding beyond the glass windows and doors to the outside.

At night, wooden panels rotate 90 degrees to close the hallway, thereby separating spaces. Once the panels are moved, the once enclosed bed turns into a bedroom, while the hidden shower and sink become an en-suite bathroom.

By optimizing the interior allowing the spaces to transform, Orange Architects keeps the design compact and efficient.
