When you plan to downsize to a small house, a porch or deck can help you open up the interior to the outdoors. Even French architecture firm Atelier Fasea has inclined into this idea with the formation of its new tiny house concept. This conceptual adaptable tiny home boasts operable walls that open up living space to embrace the nature outside.

The cabin is nicely placed on a firm trailer and measures 7.80m x 2.45m. So, it is easy to tow by truck to any desired location. The compact rectangular floor plan of this tiny house comprises ‘perfect’ winter living accommodation. Plus, it features a functional kitchen, living room, and shower room with a dry toilet to make the interior comfortable for inhabitants. It even includes a technical room towards the trailer’s hitch, where you can find the water, gas, and electric system.

Tiny House in Winter

In the winter season, this tiny house becomes self-sufficient with solar panels, a wooden stove, a rainwater collection system, and two gas bottles. So, it will have enough energy to run even if the natural light does not generate enough electricity.

The interior of the small house boasts a total floor space of around 17.7-square-meter. It is likely to remain centered around a large living room with a dining table a wood-burning stove. The dining table is also easy to expand whenever you have extra guests over. Moreover, the available sofa bed in a living room is perfect to sleep two.

In Summer

In the summer season, when the sun starts to shine for a longer duration, this wooden dwelling can almost double its actual size. It is because this tiny home can unfold from a small size to a big one in no time. Its elevations can easily fold down to create an abundant outdoor terrace on either side. This provides a proper extension for living space while connecting the inhabitants to nature.

The outer spaces are nicely covered with a waterproof tent that deploys a proper system with motorized jacks. So, it can protect the inhabitants from sun, rain, and mosquitoes. Plus, the tiny house remains autonomous in spring and summer with added benefits from solar and water devices.

This tiny house’s bathroom and kitchenette would be situated under a mezzanine loft, which is accessible via stairs. The loft also houses a double bed. If we speak of the bathroom, it includes a sink, shower, and toilet. Plus, a small storage room is present to stow wood, water, gas, or extra batteries for the solar panels.

Although this tiny house is still in the planning stage, the company has confirmed that they will explore more possibilities with its design soon. With this, we hope that it will be available soon in the market for sale as well.

We have seen many building designs combining ancient building techniques with sustainable energy technology. Keeping up with this ongoing trend, the Rammed Earth House in Slovenia boasts a unique style farmhouses. It showcases a simple way to merge traditional rammed earth building methods along with modern solar energy production. This reinterprets the early 20th-century farmhouse design in the modern world. The resulting tiny house boasts unique angles and a multi-angled pitched roof. Furthermore, the tiny home orients maximum sun exposure, as well as passive solar heating with windows kept for proper cross-ventilation in warm weather.

Tiny house combines traditional building methods with modern techniques

The green roof boasts grass and solar panels to power the house. The tiny house also boasts a rainwater collection system for facilitating proper water recycling. Dating back to the 9th-7th millennium BC, the rammed earth building technique is one of the most reliable methods for home structures. This building method is suitable for almost every continent except Antarctica. Now, the three architects Aslı Erdem, Merve nur Başer, and Fatma Zeyneb Önsiper have brought the method to Slovenia. The architects have conceptualized their tiny home to combine traditional building methods with modern solar energy production methods.

Rammed Earth Tiny House in Slovenia
Image: Merve nur Başer

For conceptualizing the sustainable tiny house, the architects’ team also set out for balancing contemporary energy production techniques along with age-old building practices. Situated in Dobrava, a small settlement in the flatland region of Slovenia, this tiny house has taken a cue from the popular floating roof created by Oton Jugovec, a Slovenian architect.

Image: Merve nur Başer

Since rammed earth consists of a technique to compact a subsoil mixture into a well-supported framework, the three architects beautifully conceptualized a concrete foundation with a timber framework. It is not easy to bring changes to any rammed earth structure. However, the house’s overhanging roof enables the cement addition to provide extra stability to the given structure. Furthermore, this house comes sheltered with an overhang green roof, which works well to protect the building material from erosion threats. It is because the region of Dobrava often experiences temperature, rainy, and snowy seasons.

Sustainable passive heating and insulation methods

The sustainable build of this tiny home also enables passive insulation. Meanwhile, the heating techniques warm-up and cool off the building. Specifically created to bring in the sun rays indoors during the winter months and block them during the hotter season, the tiny house is influenced by the surrounding environment. Even the climate of the region ensures comfortable, insulation, and passive heating all year round.

You can have a look at the images to see how the windows are arranged strategically for enabling cross-ventilation within the house. Even the green roof holds various photovoltaic panels for powering this home with the production of solar energy. Meanwhile, the rainwater collector helps in water recycling and comes integrated with a septic tank system. Even the living area is well-suited to enjoy the benefits of insulation and passive heating methods. For instance, the north facade boasts fewer windows than the west facade. Due to this design, there is a decrease in potential heat loss in the winter season.

When it comes to downsizing a home, you don’t necessarily have to leave the comfort of a huge home. Baluchon’s latest tiny house Hippollène is a good example of this. The French builder has created this movable home with two lofts and a spacious living room. What’s more interesting about this house on wheels is its interior filled with a rustic aesthetic.

Spacious Tiny House

Tiny House Hippollène by Baluchon

This small house is created in a perfect way to take the advantage of the interior’s maximum space. Set up on the double-axle trailer, this tiny house measures around 19.7-feet that’s enough to get it going wherever and whenever you want.

Also Read: This Tiny House Includes Walk-In Hot Tub for Spa-Like Experience

If we talk about the house’s owner, this new house on wheels was delivered recently to Elise, who uses it as the main home on France’s west coast. The talented team from Baluchon easily worked on it like magic and further turned it into a warm and cozy dwelling with two different lofts.

Tiny House Hippollène by Baluchon

The one loft serves as a relaxation area, whereas the other one caters to a bedroom. And, both the living spaces are easy to access using a ladder. Maybe Baluchon skipped a trick just by not installing the internet like the Sïana. It also boasts an area that varies considerably while a small nook may feel just like an escape within a compact dwelling.

Tiny House Hippollène by Baluchon

The exterior of the Hippollène is totally clad in cedar and aluminum detailing. Plus, the energy comes from the regular RV-style hookup. The general conventional tiny house really appears like the company’s similar La Salamandre mannequin on its skin. Meanwhile, the interior structure is just different.

Perfect For Nomads

Guests are likely to enter the lounge area, which gets ample lighting because of the glazing. It also boasts a couch mattress for a firm, a small wood-burning range, and an espresso desk. To keep the interior warm, you need to use the wood burner for making the space feel warm and cozy.

Tiny House Hippollène by Baluchon

The bottom flooring features a kitchen space that’s adjoining the lounge area. It further accommodates a perfect L-shaped unit with a sink, cabinetry, and a fridge. Moreover, there is another separate unit featuring a two-burner and propane-powered range. This kitchen further connects to a lavatory that includes extra cupboard space along with a sink and composting bathroom.

Tiny House Hippollène by Baluchon

It is a perfect house for nomads or who likes to enjoy living on the go. Currently, the Hippollène caters as the main residence for the proprietor in the Loire-Atlantique, western France. But we don’t have any specific phrase for its pricing. Nonetheless, you can consider buying the Baluchon’s tiny homes for around €80,000 (US $90,000).

Want to escape the world for a peaceful living? Consider heading to this old-school tiny house B&B in British Columbia, Canada. This amazing tiny house has been transformed from a 1969 international short school bus. Not only does this school-bus-turned-tiny house boasts a retro touch, but it’s also made from salvaged materials. The reclaimed materials were collected from thrift vintage stores. Now, the overall look of this tiny home takes us back to the old era of the ’60s, ’70s, and ’80s.

The school bus tiny home boasts a solid roof that protects the inhabitants from the weather. It further covers the outdoor bathroom and outhouse, as the porch area. If we talk about the interior, it’s around 19-feet long from its front to back, as well as 7.5-feet wide and 5-feet 10-inches high from the middle.

To keep the interior warm, you can heat the space with a Dickinson marine propane fireplace that’s perfectly positioned in the middle of the bus. This fireplace provides maximum heat distribution for a perfect cozy ambiance. Furthermore, the ceiling and walls of the bus are well-insulated with firm foam. Therefore, the guests can stay comfortably even in winters.

The driver seat area has been converted into a shower with salvaged granite tiles. There is also a window to easily escape the steam. Furthermore, the shower curtain comes with a magnet on the sides for keeping it closed. So, there won’t be any water leakage.

On the driver’s side of the bus, there is a kitchenette. It also includes a long kitchen countertop along with a sink. Plus, there is a painted bar fridge, ample storage space under the counter, and a 2-burner propane stove. And, for maximum natural airflow, the most visible windows are easy-to-operate.

Furthermore, the passenger side of this bus includes a stool and copper penny desk for crafting and working. There is also a dresser under this for clothing storage. The wheel wells get transformed into two storage benches for eating meals, lounging, or playing board games. There is also a rectangle cutout under the bed within a concealed folding table. Such a table can come between the benches.

Even a raised queen-size bed is perfectly placed in this tiny house. At its rear, there’s ample storage space for keeping accessories and other places. The makers have also built a bathroom/outhouse next to this bus. This area includes running water and an Envirolet composting toilet.

On one side of the bus, there is a covered porch and a fire pit area on another end. It even offers lots of outdoor living areas too. This convertible tiny home is owned by Miranda from Canada. She has also created wonderful whimsical gardens all around this bus. If you want to book it, you can visit Airbnb.

There is also a drop-down area operated with a hand winch and can be raised to close off the house and used for boosting an outdoor living space. This tiny cabin is accessed via a glass sliding door that opens the interior to the outside landscape. The interior is finished in plywood and the given floorspace is largely taken up by one single area that doubles as a living room and bedroom, with lots of storage space and sofa bed. There is also a wood-burning stove that offers heat.

The cabin also contains a small kitchenette with a fridge, sink, and propane-powered two-burner stove. Plus, a bathroom is with a sink, toilet, and shower. The cabin has various off-grid gear packed within this cabin. The power comes through solar panel series comprising three 165W panels and a 400W wind turbine. Both are linked with batteries and the current power consumption, battery level, charging rate, etc. can be monitored with a smartphone app.

Furthermore, a rainwater storage tank is present in the cabin to hold water up to 1,000 L (264 gal). According to Pin-Up Houses, this house has been built as an experiment and not intended for sale. However, the company’s Joshua Woodsman stated that he would happily create another one for sale, if asked. You can check out more information about this cabin on the company’s official website.
