# Stable-Inspired Tiny Homes The Ostara Tiny Home Takes Design Cues From Equine Architecture By Rahul Kalvapalle | Published 2017-06-28 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/Ostara-tiny-home References: [newatlas](http://newatlas.com/baluchon-ostara-tiny-house/50207/) & [tinyhouse-baluchon.fr](http://www.tinyhouse-baluchon.fr/nos-tiny-houses/tiny-house-ostara/) The Ostara tiny home is the latest offering from French architecture firm Baluchon, and is a dwelling that is inspired by the French countryside, to the point that its name is borrowed from a nearby stable. There's no horsing around with this tiny home's design and amenities however, as it offers everything from a shower and composting toilet to a surprisingly spacious living room, kitchenette and LED lighting. What's more, the home features a sleeping loft propped up by a storage-integrated staircase, which both lends a cozy appearance to the dwelling while also enabling easy organization in the compact 6-meter long home. In a small living market that is becoming increasingly high-tech and luxurious, the Ostara tiny home effectively goes back to the basics by using intelligent design and earthy aesthetics to provide a living space that blends in seamlessly with its surroundings. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.5/10 - Popularity: 97% | Activity: 89% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Architecture](https://www.trendhunter.com/architecture) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Stable-inspired Dwellings:** Architecture firms can innovate by designing homes that mimic the aesthetics of common stables or ranches. - **Compact Living:** Interior designers can maximize small living spaces by including smart storage solutions and multi-purpose furniture. - **Rustic Minimalism:** Designers can offer minimalist décor and facilities in countryside-inspired homes to create peaceful and private spaces. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Architecture:** Architecture firms can leverage design cues from stables or rural residences to create tiny homes that blend in seamlessly with their surroundings. - **Interior Design:** Interior design companies can offer their expertise in maximizing space utilization and storage integration in small living spaces such as tiny homes and apartments. - **Construction:** Construction companies can collaborate with architecture firms and interior designers to build and furnish stable-inspired tiny homes on a larger scale. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Compact Comfortable Airy Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/yggdrasil-tiny-house.md) - [Space-Conscious Compact Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/midgard-tiny-home.md) - [Ultra-Efficient Tiny Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hirondelle-tiny-house.md) - [Ethereal Feminine Tiny Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/botanical-hut-tiny-house.md) - [Expanded Tiny Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ochoco.md) - [Shutter-Accented Tiny Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/houzeko-tiny-house.md) - [Cedar Finished Portable Houses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chicore.md) - [Japanese-Inspired Portable Tiny Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bonzai.md) - [Eco‑tiny Sanctuarys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tign-tiny-homes.md)
