London-based Studiomama has designed this small but sweet beach cottage as a cozy home away from home. The 388-sq.-ft. compact waterfront cottage is built on galvanized steel stilts to prevent flooding, but not to worry – you’ll get your fill of water via the house serene seaside views. This beach house has a rustic look both inside and out. Its facade is clad in cedar shingles, giving it a true “cottage” feel which makes its way indoors with the sawn softwood-clad interior. This awesome compact design keeps it simple, featuring the cozy master sleeping quarters above, and the kitchen, bathroom and the kids’ bunk beds below, covering off all the essentials for a fab family vacation by the shore. (And check out that floor lamp and the patio chairs, all DIY masterpieces.) Studiomama
