Indian Small House Design Bedroom

For the millions who have found themselves cooped up at home over the last several months, quarantine hobbies have looked a lot like Amazon window-shopping and binge-watching the latest and greatest on Netflix. But for interior design maven Jeremiah Brent, his time spent in quarantine has produced quite the unique (and space-defying) project.

Speaking exclusively with People, Brent revealed that along with husband Nate Berkus, he's taken on the task of building a tiny home behind their house in Montauk, New York. Instead of creating their tiny home from the ground up, a shed-like structure was used as the bones of the project.

"My new obsession is small spaces,” says Jeremiah Brent. “So, we have this unfinished shed structure outside that we've been working on over the last month and a half or so, just to kind of create this little space for if we did have family come into town eventually. A place for people to stay.”

Although the couple's beach home in Montauk is a far cry from the confined spaces of Manhattan, Brent reveals that the city's cramped quarters inspired his new found love for small spaces.
