MOUNTAIN SIDE TINY HOUSE

In the design of this tiny house, great attention has been paid to the relationship between the dwelling and its natural surroundings. Key elements such as sustainability, animal welfare, and views play a central role.

The roof of the house is covered with a green mat of flowers and plants, enhancing biodiversity: insects and animals find food and shelter here, while the house simultaneously gives something back to its environment. Beneath the house, space is created where animals can take refuge during severe weather conditions in the mountains.

To make the wood durable and low-maintenance, the traditional Japanese technique Yakizugi has been applied. In this method, the surface of the wood is charred, protecting it against rot, fungi, and damage caused by animals.

The interior is also designed to maintain a strong connection with nature. The surrounding landscape is visible from multiple spots in the house: you wake up to it, you see it while showering, and even from the kitchen and living area it reflects in the glass door. In addition, the design includes a unique seating area embedded in the mountain itself, allowing the resident to fully enjoy the scenery.
