In order to better utilize the space in her small Brooklyn loft, architect Terri Chiao built these small houses to create a separate bedroom and dining room.

Rather than building floor-to-ceiling walls to divide the apartment into two bedrooms, the pitched roof of the cabin and elevated floor of the treehouse maintain the openness and character of the loft while also allowing sunlight to fill the entire space. As a result, living in the space can feel like living outdoors, in a small community of two houses.

The houses were completed in 2009 and are occupied by an artist, a designer, and a cat.
