This has to be one of the most unique tiny homes I’ve ever seen. Built on a triangular piece of land in Japan, the home is placed where a river and a road cross. At 594-square-feet, it’s the size of a small apartment, but it feels like a full-sized home with its vaulted ceilings, large windows and three floors!
Architect Kota Mizuishi designed the Riverside House for a family of three and shared the following photos with Reshareworthy.com. The home’s design not only maximizes its unusual lot, it also takes full advantage of its riverside views.
It’s a mini-marvel in design has a wonderfully bright and modern feeling. When you walk through the home with the photos below you’ll see what I mean!

The home is located at the end of one way street. They needed special approval to build on the lot.
