Nesthouse Stairs

As I get closer to revealing the interior of the Nesthouse - here’s a little sneak peek at the stairs in their finished state! The Nesthouse was always going to have a cosy sleeping loft but it HAD to be accessed by stairs - I just don’t get the ladder thing at all - far too exposed! Of course this is easier in the Nesthouse than a Tiny House because there is nearly 3m clear internal width.

I have designed a compact stairway with marine grab handles at strategic points to ensure safe passage and they form a really nice feature of the living space whilst also providing a highly adaptable storage cupboard underneath…I have a few cunning ideas in the pipeline for that one!

    Cladding progressing…

    Current state of construction at Tiny House Scotland - Nesthouse 4.8 - working on the cladding.

    Work is proceeding well on the more than 50 square meters of cladding on the Nesthouse 4.8 using durable Thermowood - sustainably farmed Finnish grown spruce with an amazing untreated service life of 30 years, which can be doubled to 60 years if coated. I am finishing in a microporous eco stain from Osmo because, well, I just love colour! Neither of these are a cheap or low effort choice but they underline Tiny House Scotland’s ethos of using high quality materials, which combined with craftsmanship will last a lifetime.
