One of the best parts of the growing tiny house trend is that designers in all parts of the world are encouraged to find the most sustainable building solutions, without sacrificing modern comfort. The Freeland House is a great example of that. The Freeland House is really tiny, but an example of sustainability and beautiful design
There are a few things that make the times we’re living in particularly interesting. One of them is the possibility of having a home shipped to you, no matter where you live. The concept of prefab (prefabricated) homes isn’t new, but their current availability and popularity are unprecedented. For example, you could have this tiny home shipped all the way from a small workshop in Catalonia.
At only 9.3 square feet (8 square meters) it’s indeed tiny, but this makes it even easier to transport using a trailer or a truck, with or without a crane. The team at Serena.House implemented a lot of sustainable solutions, including the use of natural materials.
This home’s walls can breathe, so that the air humidity can be regulated naturally, while the ecological insulation is made of cotton, wood, and hemp fibers, and the paint used both on the outside and the inside is also ecological.
The furniture is made of plywood, and the bathroom features natural stone panels. Most of the home’s additional elements, such as windows and the countertops, come from nearby suppliers, which is not only better for the environment, but also help support the local artisans.
But the Freeland is also a smart house, equipped with advanced energy and water-level monitoring systems. The oven, stove, and hot water run on gas, and solar panels can also be installed. A sustainable, tranquil haven, Freeland also manages to pack all the basic amenities in a minimalistic but very effective layout - every inch in this micro-house is used wisely.
Blending a sustainable structure with high-end appliances, the Freeland is truly a minimalistic gem. For details regarding its price, you can contact Serena.House.
Or live in Saddam’s hole?
>> then take a ladder to the bedroom on the 3rd floor
... where you sleep standing up. :-)
Hey, at least they put the bathroom on the bottom! I guess you pee in the shower. #2? I’m not sure how that works.
Wow, that thing isn’t even a respectable trailer, much less a house. Have to hand it to the author of the article, though, for elevating turd polishing to new heights of absurdity.
>> I guess that means that when someone takes a nasty dump in the shack and everyone bails, they can still smell it outside.
C’MON MAN!
When you live in a tiny house and eat insects, your sh!t doesn’t stink. ;-)
That is one blistering, truth-flaming essay-in-a-sentence.
You live in it. My little dog (beside me as usual) lives better than that
Yeah, funny they didn’t advertise that part. I guess you have to be a broke hipster or never were allowed to build tree forts to want to live in a shack.
I’ve seen outhouses bigger than that
well...you didn’t think someone who was dumb enough to want to live in a shed would know math...did you?
LOL! What about the not bathing part?
>> What about the not bathing part?
Good question!
Maybe once a week, you use Mom & Dad’s bathroom? :-)
The bathrooms at the city parks are bigger than that
we called those things campers. And we were happy when we got home.
It's about 86.11 square feet. There are about 10.764 square feet in a square meter.
My son has a joke he puts into his comedy routine.
“Tiny house? Sure, why not? I mean, who wouldn’t want to live in a Taco Bell bathroom?”
Should read: "At only 9.3 feet square (8 square meters)."
8 square meters is roughly equivalent to a square, 9.3 feet by 9.3 feet.
Tradesmen will sometimes describe areas in this fashion.
