REDUKT houses models overview

October 16, 2024 in REDUKT houses

REDUKT mobile houses are our interpretation of a modern small living space that encourages a minimalist lifestyle and simplicity. A house reduced to what is essential.

Discover our models of tiny houses on wheels. These are six types of houses, with different shapes, spatial layouts and functional solutions that can meet a variety of user needs, for both rest and daily work.

1. REDUKT Country

The largest of the mobile houses in our offer, the REDUKT Country, is the ideal choice for lovers of a simple slow lifestyle. The 7.2 meters long house on a trailer with a sloping roof on one side is characterised by its open layout of a spacious living and sleeping area combined with a kitchen and separate bathroom. This layout guarantees easy access to each zone. The wide, open kitchen invites you to cook, while the mobile dining table gives you the possibility to arrange the interior to suit your current needs. The large amount of glazing enables an almost complete immersion in the surrounding nature. In addition, a practically designed chill-out area with a large bed provides both comfortable sleeping conditions and ample storage space.

The REDUKT Country is the most popular choice of our clients in the function of a micro hotel, for short-term rentals.

2. REDUKT PURA with stairs

REDUKT PURA with stairs is a model addressed to those who appreciate practicality and elegance. It is a 6.6 m long trailer house with a mezzanine (bedroom) with access by stairs, a corner sofa bed, a kitchenette and a bathroom. It has a well-organised space with a clearly defined relaxation and sleeping area for up to 4 people. This makes it ideal for couples and families. An additional advantage is the technical room located under the mezzanine with an access from the outside, which plays a key role when the house is equipped with a full off-grid package.

3. REDUKT PURA with ladder

The sister model of the REDUKT PURA house with stairs is the REDUKT PURA house with a ladder. Thanks to the specially designed mezzanine construction, this model offers additional work space.The ladder leading to the mezzanine adds a modern touch to the interior. It is the perfect choice for remote workers who need a cosy office in their tiny house.

Like each of our REDUKT houses, this one is characterised by the high quality of the certified materials used for construction, which ensures long-lasting usage.

4. REDUKT PURA_1Level

REDUKT PURA_1Level is a 6,6 meters long house model that focuses on simplicity and comfort. The characteristic large window right next to the bed and the one-level layout make the interior of this house perfect for the role of a micro hotel. Like the REDUKT Country, it is popular among hotel business owners who want to create a unique mobile retreat immersed in nature, offering guests the comfort of a rental space. Without sacrificing the luxury of a king-size bed, a fully equipped kitchen or a full-sized shower ;)

5. REDUKT ECHO

The REDUKT ECHO model is the essence of creative design and clever solutions. A characteristic feature of this house is an interior divided into four "rooms":

a bright and spacious living room combined with a kitchenette,
a second separate room under the mezzanine,
a bathroom with shower, washbasin and a toilet,
a mezzanine for sleeping but also with a desk as a quiet workspace.

Thanks to the possibility of adapting the space to the users' preferences, the ECHO model meets the needs of both singles and families. The layout of the rooms and the flexibility of their adaptation make it an ideal choice for those looking for a functional mobile home that will give them the freedom of decision when life changes. Without compromising on issues of privacy and personal space.

6. REDUKT ONE

The REDUKT ONE mobile home refers to a traditional shape of a house with a gable roof, which gives it a cosy character. This model of house is slightly smaller than the others – its length is just 6 meters – despite its small size it can accommodate up to 4 people. The biggest highlight of this cabin is the large amount of glazing, allowing you to experience being part of nature all around. Huge corner windows flanked by bi-fold doors ensure the best views and good lighting throughout the interior. The functional layout with a mezzanine has been arranged to emphasise the openness of the living space. Specially designed modular, multifunctional furniture is mobile to make even better use of the available space.

Whether you are looking for a mobile home for yourself or planning to start a hospitality business based on tiny houses, REDUKT has something for you. With a variety of models, as well as the ability to personalise the design and customise it to your individual needs, with us you can fulfil the dream of your own perfect house on wheels.

The technical room - the house control centre

September 17, 2024

All REDUKT off-grid mobile houses, despite their small footprint, have a specially separated functional space that accommodates key devices and systems for operation.

The technical room is the most important space in an off-grid house. It is where the control centre for all devices and systems is located, along with sensors. They ensure that the house is fully functional all year round.

It is accessible from the outside to look after the full efficiency of the house without having to go inside while guests are there, which is very important when using the houses as micro-hotels.

In our house models, the technical room is hidden under the mezzanine floor or next to the bathroom, thus ensuring efficient use of space on the trailer, as well as the expected easy access from the outside through the technical door.

In the same house models but in the on-grid version, the same space serves as a laundry room or utility storage, e.g. for supplies, tools or garden furniture.

REDUKT mobile homes provide their owners with year-round comfort on the plot thanks to an interior layout thought through in every detail.

Wooden facades of REDUKT houses

August 07, 2024

The façade is the showpiece of any house. At REDUKT, we care not only about the appearance but also about the quality of the facades of mobile homes made of wood. They are what give our houses on wheels a modern, timeless and natural look.

Materials for the facades of REDUKT houses

The facades of REDUKT houses are usually made of spruce or pine wood. Our basic offer includes several colours of facade boards - from natural, light, through shades of grey and brown to black. In order to prolong their durability, we protect them with wood preservatives with the possibility of modifying the natural colour of the facade, e.g. REMMERS HK-Lazura 3in1.

Thermo-wood

Another material we use to cover the exterior of the cabins is thermo wood. Unprotected, it matures over time, taking on a noble dark silvery hue. It can be additionally oiled, so that it does not naturally turn grey when exposed to sunlight. Thermo wood is approximately 15% lighter - which is very important for the production of tiny houses on wheels with a weight limit of up to 3.5 tones.

Shou Sugi Ban wood siding

Recommended for its unique properties are the facade boards burnt using the Japanese Shou Sugi Ban technique. This is a quite time-consuming method that involves burning the boards with a torch, brushing off the carbonised layer and then rinsing with water. Once dry, the boards are covered with a layer of linseed oil and heated again. The boards prepared in this way are more resistant to weather, moisture, rot, as well as insects or fungi, maintaining an aesthetic appearance for many years.

Maintenance of a wood façade

A wood façade requires adequate protection and regular maintenance to stay in good condition over the long term. It is recommended that the maintenance of a wooden façade is carried out at regular intervals to effectively protect the wood from moisture, UV radiation and biodegradation. Depending on the location and intensity of external factors, as well as the chosen timber option, we will advise owners on how to take care of the long-term beauty of their wooden façades.

5 steps to your REDUKT house

July 10, 2024

Tiny house is not only a compact apartment, but also a way of life that combines functionality with mobility and sustainable development. A small trailer house saves space and costs, provides freedom and flexibility. As an experienced manufacturer of tiny houses on wheels in Poland, we present a short guide for those who want to start their adventure with REDUKT mobile houses.

5 steps to your REDUKT house — Mobile house REDUKT-01. Photo: VOX

Step 1: Planning

The first step is to determine your needs and preferences, as well as the purpose of the house. Will the tiny house serve as a permanent place of residence or as a mobile recreational space? Or maybe as a micro hotel located on a picturesque plot away from the hustle and bustle of the city? Choosing the right trailer and the size of the house will be crucial for further design decisions.

Step 2: Design

At this stage, we work with the client to select the most appropriate model from our basic offer or to create an individual tiny house project tailored to his needs. We consider the layout of rooms, the use of space, interior finishing elements and technical aspects such as electrical and plumbing installations. If the house is to be located on a plot without access to utilities, we also decide which off-grid systems will most effectively support the autonomous functioning of the house.

Step 3: Customization

Each customer can choose additional individual options, such as custom-made furniture or details and accessories, e.g. blinds and sofa cushions. We also offer the installation of systems for thermal comfort, security and remote control, which will make the tiny house perfectly suited to the needs of users.

Step 4: Construction

Once the design is approved, we begin building the tiny house. We use high-quality, certified building materials and pay attention to every detail to ensure the solidity of the structure and the aesthetics of the home's interior. Our tiny houses are designed to be energy efficient and have a low environmental impact.

Step 5: Operation and maintenance

After the construction is completed, we deliver to our clients a fully equipped, ready-to-move-in tiny house, along with instructions for the house and the systems and devices installed in it. We also provide after-sales support and maintenance advices so that customers can enjoy their mobile homes for years.

Begining of an adventure with tiny houses is not only an investment in a modern approach to housing, but also an expression of individuality or lifestyle. Thanks to our many years of experience in the industry and commitment to designing and building high-quality tiny houses on wheels, we provide our clients with functional and aesthetic houses, as well as support at every stage of turning their dreams of a mobile and sustainable lifestyle into a reality.

We invite you to contact us directly to begin your way to a REDUKT house :)

House on the road – a few words about the formalities

May 29, 2024

The mobility of a house on a trailer is undoubtedly one of the advantages of a micro house, thanks to which people who value freedom of choice and change of plans decide to buy it. Traveling with a house on wheels – how does it actually look? What requirements must a house meet in order to be able to move around with it?

To legally drive a mobile home on roads, we must meet several important conditions.

Requirements, documents, vehicle registration

Our REDUKT houses are built on trailers that meet the requirements and have European approval up to 3.5 tons. This means that the trailer has its own approval, and the house is formally a load. To be allowed to travel on public roads, a trailer must have appropriate documents. The CoC document, i.e. the certificate of conformity from the registration office, declares that the vehicle is of an approved type. Refers to a specific chassis number and contains all technical features and vehicle data such as weight and dimensions. These data must meet certain standards for approval in the EU: the weight of the load with the trailer cannot exceed 3.5 tons, and the maximum permissible dimensions of the load are 2.55 m in width and 4 m in height (including the trailer). To move on public roads, it is of course necessary to register the trailer.

“Cargo package”

REDUKT houses can be detached from the trailer. We call this functionality the "cargo package" and it consists of steel reinforcements in the floor enabling the house to be lifted, an approved connection of the cargo (house) to the trailer during transport, and special elements securing the house to the trailer when parked.

Traveling on public roads

Traveling with a house on wheels also requires specific permissions, skills and security measures. The driver must have a driving license B+E category, skills enabling him to drive a combination of vehicles (car and trailer with load) with a GVW exceeding 3.5 tons, and appropriate liability insurance. The car must also be able to tow a trailer weighing 3.5 tons (which is indicated in the registration certificate). In practice, this possibility is available to selected off-road vehicles, pick-ups and delivery vans.

Traveling with a mobile home in practice

Before setting off on a trip, it is necessary to secure moving elements inside the house that could cause damage to furniture and equipment, e.g. shower doors or pull-out drawers and cabinet fronts.

If you plan to travel with your home, it is necessary to design and equip it appropriately. The safety of the structure during movement is influenced by, among others: window surface protection and optimal balance. It is worth considering installing elements of an off-grid package in a house intended for location changes. Using a separating toilet or water tank will significantly facilitate the functioning of your home when you want to change your place of living.

With a properly prepared mobile home, you can make your dreams come true and enjoy an unprecedented sense of freedom :)

6 advantages of tiny houses on wheels

May 22, 2024

Here are six reasons why REDUKT tiny houses on wheels are a great option for anyone looking for flexibility and the ability to make quick changes. They can be used in a variety of ways, including as a year-round home or a cabin for weekend trips out of town, a mobile office or studio for working in the garden, a micro-hotel or house for rent. There are many possibilities, as are the advantages of choosing a tiny house on wheels.

6 advantages of REDUKT tiny houses on wheels

We’ve listed a few examples below:

REDUCTION OF DECISION-MAKING STRESS / Mobility = freedom of choice

Houses on wheels are mobile - built on an approved trailer. If you need to, you can decide where they'll stand. You can try different locations and different ways to meet your needs. Without the stress of making some irrevocable decision for life. This gives you an unprecedented sense of lightness and speeds up the decision-realization process, which is difficult when buying a traditional property, whether to live on your own or for investment.

REDUCTION OF CONSTRUCTION COSTS / Smaller house = lower construction costs

A smaller area of the house means lower costs of materials for its construction. We design every m2 thoughtfully, and you can really live in it permanently too! And often with the most beautiful view :-) There's no risk of additional costs associated with protracted construction, increases in the price of materials or the cost of contractors – you already know the price when you order! REDUKT houses are built in our workshop from start to finish. Once they're ready, we deliver them to you. You don't even need to have your own plot of land to put up a small trailer house - you can put it up on a rented plot!

REDUCTION OF MAINTENANCE COSTS / Smaller home space = lower maintenance costs

Limiting living space to a dozen square meters also means lowering maintenance costs. Such a house is much less energy-intensive and easier to heat in winter. Our houses for year-round living comfort can be equipped with air conditioning with heating function or wood- or pellet-fired stoves. A small house generates smaller bills and expenses for additional equipment.

REDUCTION OF ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT / Nature-friendly houses = less environmental impact

REDUCT tiny houses are eco-friendly houses that are friendly to nature. We use natural and certified materials for construction. The structure and facade of REDUKT houses are made of wood, the roof is usually made of trapezoidal sheet metal, aluminum window and door frames and the insulation is made of wood fiber, sheep's wool, or mineral wool. Custom furniture is made from poplar plywood. Diffusion-open walls create a healthy microclimate inside for its occupants (more about "breathing" walls of REDUKT houses here). They can also be equipped with autonomous off-grid systems when there is no access to utilities on the plot: water, electricity, sewerage. Our integrated photovoltaic systems with batteries will provide the cleanest renewable electricity for the householders. Separation toilets and water tanks will enable comfortable use of the bathroom and kitchen but at the same time keeping you conscious about the water usage :)

REDUCTION OF NEEDS / Minimalist home = simpler life

REDUKT tiny houses are our interpretation of modern small living spaces that encourage minimalist living and simplicity. The essence for living, relaxing, and working. The fewer stimuli around you, the easier it is to prioritize what’s really important and to make decisions consciously. And the comfort of REDUKT houses is really easy to appreciate. Despite their compact size, our houses are fully functional and ready for year-round use in a simple way. They come with a comfortable living area, sleeping space for 2-4 people, a kitchen, and a bathroom.

REDUCTION OF WASTED TIME / Ordering prefabricated house = saving time

When you order a house from REDUKT, you're buying a complete solution. You get a house that's ready to move in. You don't have to do any construction on the plot, and you don't have to worry about all the paperwork that comes with traditional houses. But you also don't have to furnish and equip. The refrigerator, taps, sinks, sofa cushions, and blinds are all included in the house. And cleaning such a small house is a true time saver!
