Lofts are a great way to curve out more space for a small house, especially when you have a high ceiling. In Singapore, small houses with lofts are hard to find due to the shorter ceiling height. However, in other places, you can get buy these houses and renovate them correctly to have a much bigger living area than what the floor space suggest.

This is a drastically different way of building a loft in your mini house. In this case, the house is really narrow but incredibly high. As such, the architecture uses a interesting idea of building a ‘mini’ tree house within the main home itself to extend the usable living space. It is not for everyone but it is definitely a special design you don’t see often.

A nice metallic finish for this small loft house design. Notice the use of the curved loft stairs that minimizes the use of any valuable floor space. The color scheme of silver and orange also brings out a unique look for the entire home.

A more minimalist look with the use of white color and plenty of open, uncluttered space in the middle. I love the small dining + television area at the corner as well as the walk in wardrobe that provides plenty of storage space for the entire family.

A simple yet practical design. A flat ladder takes you up to the loft with no fuss. The middle space is left empty, with only a kitchen island where most of the activities will be conducted. Great for a couple!

The unique design for this house is using the ‘wall’ to block the loft bedroom from public eyes so as to have more privacy for the homeowner. These walls also double up as storage space, hence creating 2 values for one piece of furnishing. The rest of the house is kept uncluttered to make it look much bigger than it really is.

This house changes the structure of the house to create this very unique loft design. There are separate ‘layers’ within the loft area, with each catering to a different use such as for work, sleep, play etc. It is an interesting design and worth more look here.

Finally, we have a more open concept kind of loft design whereby everything is visible. The purpose of not using any kind of room separators is to make this 300 sq feet house look more spacious. I loved the loft stairs that can perform a dual function: bookshelf and stairs.
