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.
Yes, not a house. But camper? Not sure about that.
Pretty wood though.
Looks ike an ugly, badly hand made version of a small camping trailer.
"Minimalist".
Then they can bury the occupant in it.
Why do the privileged elite get to live in mansions way too big for the number of people who live there, and the rest of us are to live in tiny hovels?
We’ll live in these while the Democrats live in mansions.
But most sheds are bigger.
Pretty wood?
You should see the bathroom counter top I just finished for my house at the farm. We plan to move in there soon, have had 2 workers helping me with this project for past 3 months. It is NOT a mini house. Was a big project in a 70 year old home.
The countertop is solid maple and finished with waster based Helmsman spar varnish. The finish does not yellow and is resistant to most solvents. It is a little difficult to apply, dries quickly. Looks great.
But what about the Climate Crisis™?
And when will our exalted democRAT masters move into these packing crates? They need to set an example for their serfs.
The floor plan
Must be for homeless, defecate on the street?
I stopped. here. If the author cannot even get the math right.....
It’s the same size as my chicken coup I built a couple of years ago, wheels and all.
Better than a cardboard box or tent or living in your car.
I’m pretty sure Frodo’s home was a lot bigger. Just not much head room.
In Iowa we call those deer stands.
9.3 square feet
3 feet by 3 feet? too small for even a Hobbit.
They want you to live in a tree. Not a tree house. Just a tree.
metric math
At only 9.3 square feet (8 square meters)
According to the search engine app...8.64 square meters converts to 93 square feet. The article is only off by a factor of ten.
looks to me like they just took one of those high school football field snack shacks and loaded it up on a trailer ...
The great thing about tiny homes is that they take practically no time at all to burgle
