This residence, an ode to architectural minimalism, rests on a modest 28m2, where every square centimeter is a celebration of efficiency and aesthetics. Constructed mainly of wood, it embodies a harmonious fusion of sleek design and environmental awareness.

The natural essence of wood, meticulously chosen for its sustainable qualities, permeates every element of the structure. Walls, furniture and even interior finishes capture the warmth and richness of this material, creating a warm atmosphere rooted in nature.

Every corner of this home reveals exceptional spatial ingenuity. Multifunctional spaces fit together like a jigsaw puzzle, demonstrating that compactness can coexist with maximum functionality. Natural shades of wood, enhanced by touches of white and neutral tones, create a soothing palette, reinforcing the atmosphere of serenity.

The commitment to sustainability extends beyond the building material. Solar panels integrated into the roof capture solar energy, transforming this home into an energy-efficient entity. Intelligent technologies regulate the interior climate, ensuring optimal comfort with a minimal ecological footprint.

Mobility is built into the foundations of this wooden residence. The structure offers structural flexibility, allowing the dwelling to be relocated in line with an unattached lifestyle, underlining the versatility of the design.

Our house is built with mirinal use of wood, while incorporating straw as the main insulation material. The walls of the ouse are made of a lightweight wooden structure, reducing the ecological footprint while ensuring the solidity of the construction. Inside these walls, a thick layer of straw is used as a natural thermal and acoustic insulator, providing excellent temperature regulation and reducing dependence on expensive heating or cooling systems.

Inside, furniture is made from recycled wood, following a minimalist, functional design to optimize the limited space. Electricity is generated from renewable sources, such as solar panels installed on the roof, making the tiny house energy self-sufficient.

This technical approach combines the judicious use of wood, the clever application of straw as insulation, and the integration of sustainable technologies to create an ecological, energy-efficient and environmentally-friendly tiny house.
