A weekend in a house with a usable area of 14 sq m - is it worth a try?

If you are wondering what kind of experience it is to drastically reduce your living space and at the same time escape from many restrictions, here are some hints.

ADVANTAGES:

 - direct contact with nature within 5 steps after waking up. The same as when staying in a tent, but with a specific shelter for all weather conditions and in a LUX version of camping conditions,

- everyday comfort "like at home": own bathroom and hot shower, kitchen, large comfortable bed, but at the same time, forced by staying in a small space, experience that limits and values the things we need,

- our REDUKT Tiny Houses mobile houses for rent are well-equipped by the operators/owners and all your daily needs are provided on site (kitchenware, bathroom, etc.), e.g. Bento Houses or Raus, you can spontaneously escape to the forest without thinking about packing for 3 days or 3 hours,

- spending time actually outside: on the terrace, by the fire, walking around the house; small space pushes out the "lazy homebody" out of us,

 - they are located in silence and seclusion, which is conducive to naturally enter a state of rest and focus on the moment.

DISADVANTAGES:

- these are year-round houses, but their thermal insulation is more delicate. For complete, non-engaging comfort, it is worth choosing those with air conditioning - heating/cooling. However, adding wood to the stove at 3 am has a unique charm ;)

- in the case of off-grid houses, we carefully manage the utilities that cannot be missing. It can be tiring, but at the same time we recognize how brash we are about the water, electricity, heat or cooling we use, despite the broad talk about the climate and resource crisis,

- for 4 people, even 4-person houses are already a higher test of friendship. Due to the small footprint, it can comfortably accommodate a couple or possibly a family with small children,

- for a longer stay, keeping such a small house clean requires a scout drill.

The city makes you forget how good you feel outside it. A weekend in nature is addictive.
