tiny movable house on wheels reflects the minimalist nordic style
ENVIRONMENTAL-FRIENDLY TINY HOUSES ON WHEELS
norwegian brand norske mikrohus — founded by the couple jeanette and david reiss-andersen — specializes in sustainable tiny houses on wheels that can be easily relocated. recently the designers unveiled a new model from the series, a 16sqm black wood-clad cabin dubbed rast, that can accommodate the whole family for short-term stays. the entire unit is lightweight enough to be moved with a vehicle, by simply connecting it to the metal support under the dwelling.
WITHSTAND THE HARSH WEATHER CONDITIONS
the entire cabin is designed to endure the harsh weather conditions in norway, leaving a minimal footprint; a black aluminum water-resistant roof tops the wooden structure and protects it from heavy snow, a double glass door shields from the sharp wind. furthermore, the designers installed laminated two-layer insulated windows that allow natural light to penetrate the interior while providing the inhabitants with sweeping views of the scenery; ‘mountains in winter, sea in summer, or salmon river in autumn.’
16 SQM CABIN BLENDS INTO ITS ENVIRONMENT
‘rast’ is the smallest model — about 16 sqm — of the collection, while its simple timber interior reflects the minimalistic nordic style. the entire inside is wrapped in built-in furniture that creates a functional and cozy environment. a lofting bed is nestled under the gable roof, while the living room daybed turns to a bed when necessary. the open-plan kitchen is outfitted with a compact dishwasher, and the bathroom includes a shower niche and a large rectangular window. moreover, a small table unfolds from the bottom of the lower bunk bed, offering a compact dining area. storage shelves can be found all over the interior integrated into the furniture, making the most of the space.
