This Cloud Collective 'Hermits House' is the perfect prefab example of minimalist architecture at its most succinct. Designed by Mark van der Net and Daniël Venneman, this tiny teahouse offers an adorable rural retreat for a spot of Sunday tea.
Resting slightly elevated near the river IJssel in the Netherlands, the Cloud Collective 'Hermits House' has a whitewashed interior, a wood-clad exterior and an accordion shape in its middle.
