"At just 6.6 meters long, this remarkable dwelling doesn't squeeze one living space into its metal frame. It fits two. The concept sounds impossible until you see it. Two front doors hint at the Yamabiko's clever secret: a perfectly mirrored layout that splits the home down the middle. Enter through the left door, and you'll find a complete living space with a lofted bedroom, compact kitchen, and cozy lounge area."
"This isn't just architectural cleverness for its own sake. Ikigai Collective designed the Yamabiko specifically for staff accommodation in Japan's seasonal resort towns. Ski instructors, hospitality workers, and summer camp employees often require housing that strikes a balance between privacy and efficiency. The Yamabiko delivers both. Two people can live independently under one roof, each with their own kitchen and sleeping loft, while sharing a single bathroom and utility connection."
Yamabiko is a 6.6-meter tiny house with a perfectly mirrored layout that creates two independent living units separated by a shared bathroom. Each side contains a lofted bedroom, a compact kitchen with a two-burner propane stove and sink, built-in seating, and a small table, optimizing every centimeter of floor space. The design targets staff accommodation in seasonal Japanese resort towns, allowing two occupants privacy and efficiency while sharing a single utility connection. The exterior uses Galvalume steel cladding for durability against snow and coastal humidity, and the minimalist appearance blends into mountain and urban settings.
