Grimshaw Architects – The Peak

The Peak, in Melbourne, Australia, was designed for Nestd, a social enterprise that is a part of Kids Under Cover, which is passionate about preventing youth homelessness. It is a modern-looking tiny home that is only 32.5 square meters or 107 square feet. All of the profit from The Peak goes back to Kids Under Cover. 

The kitchen, bathroom, laundry, bedroom, and couch spaces are all formatted into a cube shape and placed along a wall. On the opposite wall, is the living and dining area. There are large glass panels near the entrance to allow lots of natural light to enter, making the area look larger. The Peak is made of natural, sustainably sourced timber, and its metal exterior and angle of the roof allows for the best photovoltaic performance

Grimshaw’s goal for The Peak was to design an affordable, sustainable, high-quality tiny home that had the ability to combat youth homelessness or was able to contribute to the fight. They also wanted it to be modern-looking and heavily considered those who were going to potentially live in them.
