Every Corner Counts: How Much Space Do you Really Need?
This weeks Y.E.O.W takes a look at maximizing space through design. This house in Austria is very small but once you step inside you would be amazed. Sometimes, just enough is all you need. Take a look at this cozy space in this article by Lara Lopes of Interesting Engineering.

We featured the Uvogel house (the name is a combination of UFO and Vogel – bird in German) in our recent article on the most unique and unusual small homes. Designed by Peter Jungmann, the 45 square meter house is found in the Austrian Alps and is available to rent all year round. But, looking from the outside you struggle to imagine that such a small house can offer much comfort and space.
That’s until you take a look inside. Its multi-functional design means you have a dining area, a kitchen unit, a nice and cozy window seat, separate bedroom area for parents and kids, WC and designer shower. Designed inside and out in wood, it offers the residents a sense of warmth bringing nature indoors to you.
Large panoramic windows offer breathtaking views of the Lienz Dolomites whilst also letting in a surplus of stunning natural light. The wood fire stove can heat up the home to keep the winter cold out and if that’s not enough, there is also floor heating. The design is very minimalistic but with views like that, why would you want clutter lying around.
The house is available all year round so if you fancy a unique holiday in such wondrous nature, head on over to their website.
