Short answers about tiny houses, sustainable materials, and the first steps toward a minimalist home.
Yes, in most cases a building permit is required. The legal classification depends on whether the house is on wheels (then it is often considered a caravan) or built on a foundation. We recommend contacting the relevant building authority and reviewing the zoning plan before purchasing.
Compact wood or pellet stoves are very popular because they take up little space and operate independently of the power grid. Infrared heaters or small heat pumps are also installed. Good insulation is important to keep heating output low and maintain a pleasant indoor climate.
In principle, yes, but the planning should be coordinated with an architect or an experienced tiny house builder. In particular, the structural design, electrical system, and water installation require expertise. Many builders start with a shell kit and have the technical trades carried out by professionals.
Costs vary greatly depending on location, construction method, and lifestyle. Typical monthly expenses include site rent (approx. 200–400 euros), electricity, water, and heating. Due to the small living space and conscious consumption, ancillary costs are usually significantly lower than in an average rental apartment.
Clay plaster regulates humidity and ensures a healthy indoor climate. Wood from local forests (e.g., spruce or larch) is durable and binds CO₂. Hemp or wood fiber boards, which are breathable and free of chemical additives, are suitable for insulation.
Yes, that is possible. A photovoltaic system with battery storage covers electricity needs, rainwater harvesting and a composting toilet reduce water consumption. Wood stoves are suitable for heating. However, self-sufficient supply requires careful planning and higher initial investments.
Our goal is to make sustainable living accessible to everyone – through smart architecture, compact floor plans, and the conscious use of natural materials.
We believe that a home doesn't have to be big to be good. Our focus is on thoughtful solutions that reduce the ecological footprint without sacrificing comfort. Every project begins with the question of how we can create more quality of life with fewer resources.
The principles of our work are simplicity, durability, and transparency. We rely on regional building materials such as wood and clay, which promote a healthy indoor climate. At the same time, we develop modular concepts that can adapt to changing life circumstances – whether as a mobile tiny house or as a permanent eco-settlement.
For our customers, this means: a home that not only supports their own lifestyle but also makes a measurable contribution to environmental protection. We accompany them from the initial idea to the handover of the keys and value a partnership-based collaboration.
The expected effect is a more conscious use of living space, lower operating costs, and a sense of independence. Our projects show that sustainable building does not have to be more expensive – it just requires a different way of planning.
Together with selected companies and initiatives, we are committed to sustainable construction and affordable housing. Every partnership is based on shared values and concrete projects.
