Inside the Tiny DIY Beach Shack of Two London Creatives

Photography by Marcia Mihotich, except where noted

The ultimate in simple summer living: a DIY beach shack at the mouth of the River Thames in England, redone by London creatives Marcia Mihotich and Durrell Bishop.

The couple’s circa-1954 house is part of an enclave of 20 raised beach huts.

The house is about 323 square feet and entirely sheathed in “shuttering ply,” a dense construction plywood.

A midcentury chair of unknown origin and a packing crate coffee table found on the street in London.

The sofa, which serves as an extra bed, is a homemade wooden platform.

The kitchen is tucked just beyond the dining area.

The couple rebuilt the kitchen using Ikea cabinets faced with plywood; the stainless steel counter and sink are also Ikea.

Garlic boxes salvaged from a local grocery serve as over-the-counter storage.

The bedroom has a twin bed and a sleeping loft big enough for two.

There’s also a curtained-off bedroom just beyond the kitchen.
