WikiHouse MicroHouse
A small cabin, tiny home site or granny flat
With the rise of platforms like AirBnB, tourism has changed. Instead of owning a holiday home, or staying in hotels, more of us are choosing to rent cabins to escape for a few days. This is also driving increased expectations generally. The rather ugly, and often cold static caravans of the past increasingly don't meet these expectations.
That isn't the only kind of demand we've been seeing for this kind of micro home. The first version of this design pattern was actually developed for an organisation that provides temporary accommodation for people who find themselves homeless. The fundamental needs are similar: a place that provides warmth and comfort, but also feels restorative to spend time in. A home from home. Or an option to ‘age in place’.
Comfortable
The chassis has 200 mm of insulation in the walls and floor, and more in the roof, making it better insulated than most homes.
