This Tiny Home Is Portugal Features A Cork & Timber Clad Exterior & A Compact Interior

Posted on by

Portugal’s MadeiGuincho revealed the Terra m3_Tiny House, their third and final model in the Terra Series. The Terra m3 followed after the Terra m1 and the Terra m2. The lovely tiny home features a cork-clad exterior, and a compact interior layout, which the studio is known for. The home serves as a vacation house for two people. Tucked away in the same Alentejo region of Portugal as the Terra m1 and Terra m2 models, the home is based on a double-axle trailer, featuring a length of 5 meters.

Designer: MadeiGuincho

Inspired by the landscape of the massive reservoir and the cork forests of Portugal, the home is quite unique to look at. It is equipped with an outdoor deck which can be used to expand the living space. The interior decor has a wood finish, with the main entrance opening into the kitchen. The kitchen is pretty basic with a sink and cabinetry. It also includes a wood-burning stove. The living room is elevated and can be accessed via a removable ladder. It is placed above storage, and includes seating as well as the same ladder that can be moved and used to enter the small rooftop terrace.

The bedroom is placed above the kitchen, and it can be accessed via a wooden ladder as well. The bedroom is like most rooms found in tiny homes – it features a low ceiling and a double bed. The bathroom is on the ground floor, and it includes a sink, shower, and toilet. The exterior door allows you to enter the terrace outside. There is another door in the kitchen that also connects to the terrace, and it does seem like an unusual and maybe excessive addition. But the three doors are great for ensuring the home always has a nice cool breeze blowing in, especially during the hot temperatures.

The Terra m3 is a beautiful and cozy home in a series of three wonderful homes. The tiny homes serve as splendid little vacation homes in Portugal.

This ‘Super Tiny’ Tiny Home Is All Set To Provide You With The Ultimate Off-Grid Lifestyle

Portugal’s Madeiguinco designed its latest tiny home offering – the Pego. In a world where tiny homes reign supreme, it is tough to create one that truly stands out, but by fostering woodworking expertise and building timber dwellings, Madeguincho managed to offer us something new and refreshing. The Pego is a compact tiny home that is designed to accompany you on your adventures into the wild with the help of a solar panel setup. The tiny home is pretty small and compact, but you shouldn’t judge the dwelling by its size, because it does pack a punch with its functionality and utility.

Designer: Madeiguinco

The Pego tiny home features a length of 16 feet, which is quite small for a European tiny home. Based on a double-axle trailer and finished in wood, the home perfectly presents the firm’s wonderful craftsmanship. The home is finished in wood both inside and outside, and the craftsmanship is reflected in the shutters on the windows, and in the doors that close up the house. The home is topped with solar panels, which keep it powered up, irrespective of where it is placed. The tiny home also has a standard RV-style hookup.

You can enter the home via double glass doors. The floor space is mostly taken up by a combined living room/kitchen area. This includes a massive L-shaped sofa with integrated storage, a sink, cabinetry, an electric cooktop, and storage space. The space also includes a mini wood-burning stove, much like the ones you use while camping in a tent.

The ground floor of the Pego tiny home includes a bathroom that is equipped with a shower, sink, and toilet. The bathroom features a secondary door that offers access to the outdoors, which is quite an unusual feature. The tiny home is amped with only one bedroom which can be accessed using a fixed wooden ladder. The bedroom room has a typical tiny home loft-style setup, partnered up with a low ceiling. There is sufficient space for a double bed.

This Not-So-Tiny & Spacious Tiny Home Is Blessed With A Motorized Deck, Rooftop Terrace & Spiral Staircase

Posted on by

What I love about tiny homes these days is that they’re managing to get more and more spacious from within, without occupying too much space on the outside. This lovely little home called the Cascade Mini by TruForm Living is an example of such an ingenious tiny home. The Cascade Mini manages to squeeze in an impressive and generous amount of living space into a compact length of 38 meters. Besides being spacious, the tiny home also features a spiral staircase, that offers entry to a rooftop terrace. The ground floor of the home contains an enclosed porch area and deck as well!

Designer: TruForm Tiny

The Cascade Mini occupies 32.5 square meters, and visitors can enter the home via the main entrance, which leads them into the kitchen. The kitchen is the center of the home, and it includes a fridge, a small drawer-style dishwasher, a three-burner propane-powered stove, an oven, a sink and cabinetry, and a central movable kitchen island.

Next to the kitchen is the cozy living room which accommodates a sofa, small coffee table, and a fireplace. The living room leads to an enclosed porch which brings in a generous amount of light into the home, while also creating a pleasant and comfy place to sit in. The porch is also connected to the outdoor deck which is motorized and can be lowered into the desired position via a switch, or even raised if you need to tow the house somewhere else. The deck also includes a fire pit and some additional seating. Another key feature is the rooftop terrace which can be accessed through a spiral staircase on the outside. The terrace also includes a small fireplace and some seating.

The bedroom and bathroom are located next to each other. The bathroom includes a bathtub and a separate shower, which is rarely seen in tiny homes. It also includes a sink and a composting toilet. The bedroom has quite an unusual configuration for a tiny home, as it is located on the ground floor, and has quite a low ceiling, leaving sufficient space for a double bed and some shelving. The low ceiling also leaves space for a loft-based laundry room on top with a washing machine, a dryer, and some storage area as well.

Portable tiny home can expand into a 364 square feet living space

One of the most tedious things that I experienced more than once is moving houses. Well for one thing, I have so much stuff so packing them all up and then unpacking them at my new place can be such a pain. So sometimes I wonder if I could just have all of my things and furniture in just one box that I can move from one place to another if I need to not stay in one place. Well, there are now tiny houses that can do just that, provided you can fit everything you own in that space.

Designer: PODX Go

There are a lot of tiny houses already available out there but this one is truly portable and high-tech. The Grande S1 is a pre-fabricated tiny home that can be packed up in a huge box and can be transported to where you need to go. And once you’re ready to settle down in that place, it can unpack itself and expand to a 20-foot-wide living space, complete with furniture and all the stuff that you can fit in that place. Once completely expanded, it has a full width of 20 feet and 364 square feet and it’s “street legal” which is an important requirement for those that need to actually live in that house.

To open up the house, you need to fold out the awning and the stairs and lower the stabilizing posts first. After that, you just press the button and it will unfold in all its mechanical glory. Inside, you have a dining space, living room, kitchen, bathroom, home office, and bedroom. All of the furniture can be folded in and out or stowed away into compartments because, of course, you need to put them somewhere when the house will fold into itself. For example, the queen-sized Murphy bed and the office desk can be stowed into the wall while the dining table can be folded on both sides and the chairs inserted into it.

If you’re getting ready to move again, you just need to stow away the desk, bed, and dining table and then put the sofa in the front entry area while the office chair and coffee table can fit into the bathroom. Then you remove the stabilizing posts and then with another press of a button, the house will then fold itself up and you’ll be ready to move in just 10 minutes. Oh and this tiny house can go off grid as it powered by a1,400-watt array solar panels connected to a 5-kilowatt Lycan power box.
