“If a room is functionally defined by 4 m2, a 20 m2 tiny house can host at least 5 rooms”.
The concept is build up starting from the principle of a touring bus in which all storage is separated from the personal space.
The unit features a single space that guests transform into a bedroom with sleeping capacity for up to 5 adults, a bathroom, kitchen, pool, orangerie, lounge, office space, dining space, a sit pit … each with a surface of 20m2 (8m x 2m50). The floor holds all storage space and there only is integrated furniture. The unit features a partially/fully coverable roof terrace/weather deck.
From any viewpoint inside people can look outside in 4 directions through 200cm high windows
2 people can engage in a different or same activity at any moment.
Fire, water, wood (floor) and metal (movable floor structures) combine in close harmony with an indoor tree and garden.
The double floor forms a strong structure and lowers the centre of gravity.
The unit meets road regulations (4m high, 2m55 wide, max 3.500kg) and living regulations (minimum 18 m2 livable space with 220cm ceilings). Departs on the road in 10 minutes...
