Designed by Memphis-based firm Archimania, the Nash Tiny House is a minimalist weekend home situated on a family property outside of Starkville, Mississippi. Located on the exact site of a fishing trailer that belonged to the clients' father, the tiny house honors the family's history while providing a modern, low-maintenance escape. The property is nestled within a natural clearing of pine, oak, and hickory trees, offering picturesque western views of a pond. The tiny house is wrapped in a continuous roof and wall plane, which is clad in durable, low-maintenance metal panels. Galvanized standing-seam panels on the main surface provide a distinct vertical rhythm, while charcoal corrugated metal panels on other walls offer a different texture and scale. The use of concrete masonry units and pressure-treated wood further enhances the home's longevity and minimal upkeep. A prominent, full-length front porch extends the living space outdoors and spans the width of the house. It sits within the space created by the continuous roof and wall plane, offering a sheltered spot to enjoy the pond views and natural surroundings. Interior: In contrast to the metallic exterior, the interior is finished with a warm and simple palette. White-painted pine shiplap siding creates a classic, cozy cabin feel. The floors are polished concrete, adding to the durable, resilient nature of the home. The efficient 648-square-foot floor plan includes a main living area with an open-plan kitchen. Above the kitchen is a mezzanine sleeping loft, which provides additional sleeping space for guests. The owner, Jon Nash, a veterinarian who enjoys hands-on work, constructed a significant portion of the home himself, including the kitchen ladder that provides access to the sleeping loft.
