Keeping in mind the unique needs and preferences of our customers, we offer a wide range of options to customize our house designs beyond the basic offer.

2 mezzanines in a tiny house? Why not! 

To meet the needs of a family from Austria, we personalized the design of a mobile house based on the REDUKT PURA model with stairs from our basic offer. We changed part of the standard interior layout to provide an additional sleeping space for a child without reducing the living space. By lowering the height of the bathroom, we were able to add a mezzanine with ladder access. We also installed a skylight above the mezzanine to increase natural light and create a more spacious feel.

Thus, this mobile house is equipped with a double mattress on the first mezzanine and a single mattress on the second mezzanine, as well as a sofa bed that can accommodate 2 people, typical of the PURA house. This provides comfortable overnight accommodations for up to 5 people!

Customized functional layout

The REDUKT PURA house with stairs and two mezzanines, was transported on a low-floor truck to its destination in 12 weeks after the order. Its key advantages include:

• two mezzanines with large skylight windows for sky-watching enthusiasts,

• a wide sofa with storage space inside and storage inside the steps,

• fully equipped kitchen that invites to cook together,

• a bathroom with a incinerating toilet and a spacious shower,

• access to the technical room from outside.

100% off-grid 

The REDUKT PURA house was designed for a mountainous area in the Austrian highlands with no access to utilities. It is equipped with a full off-grid package, including:

• a solar installation with four photovoltaic panels and a battery that produces and stores electricity using Victron Energy inventory. 

• the water system consists of a 400-liter water tank, mechanical water filters, an electric water heater, and an antifreeze system.

• the incinerating toilet (Cinderella Freedom), powered by propane, that produces only a minimal amount of sterile ash from sanitary waste, requires no additional installations for water or sewage and is easy to operate,

• additionally a wood stove that heats the interior of the cottage and provides a cozy atmosphere.

With the complete off-grid package, the family can enjoy quality time together in nature throughout the year, anywhere they choose!

Discover our houses. REDUKT PURA part 3

Imagine a tiny house gracefully standing among whispering trees or on the shore of a lake with water reflections dancing on the facade or on a snow-covered slope in the mountains… 

Enabling the residents to experience immersion in nature was the inspiration for the new house model, which was created in our workshop in the last winter months.

REDUKT PURA – the ground floor version

The house REDUKT PURA_1Level is the third model in the REDUKT PURA family and, unlike the two previous models (REDUKT PURA with ladder, REDUKT PURA with stairs), it is a ground floor house – it does not have a mezzanine. Its shape refers to the classic shape of a house with a gable roof, easily blending into the surrounding landscape. The functional, ground floor layout with a huge window next to the bed is a response to the idea of completely opening the home space to experiencing nature.

Simplicity and minimalism

The interior of the REDUKT PURA_1Level house is characterized by simplicity, functionality, and clean lines of minimalist design. Sunlight streams in through the double panes of the flush opening doors, providing ample natural light. The large asymmetrical window, which replicates the shape of the roof, is the most distinctive feature of this model. 

Lying on a comfortable double bed placed just below the window, we can freely gaze at the landscape outside. After outdoor activities, we prioritize high-quality sleep and lazy mornings with breakfast in bed, in accordance with our biological clock. This is our time to rest and recharge.

How relaxing it would be… waking up on a crisp Sunday morning with a view of a wild meadow surrounded by forest and catching a glimpse of a curious deer peeking out from behind a tree outside your window? The house is equipped for comfortable year-round use and serves as a refuge for all four seasons.

Rest zone

At the head of the bed, there is a practical shelf with a storage compartment. Above it hang twin wall lamps that create a cozy atmosphere during quiet evenings with a book. The rest zone extends deep into the house in the form of an L-shaped sofa adjacent to the bed. As a result, the house's small footprint offers a functionally designed space for typical activities: relaxing, cooking, eating, and sleeping.

On the other side of the living space, the kitchen invites you to take a moment to make coffee or prepare a meal. It is equipped with standard built-ins, including a kitchen top with an induction hob, a sink, a refrigerator, and storage bins. Capacious cabinets with shelves and drawers provide ample storage space.

Practical equipment

Opposite the kitchen is a small wardrobe that offers additional storage space. The closet is a vertical cabinet combined with a practical hanger for outerwear and shelves for shoes. 

A light sliding door made of plywood, the same material as the walls, separates the kitchen from the entrance to the house. The bathroom behind the door features a full-size shower with a rain shower head, a sink with a cabinet and a toilet. Behind it is the engineering room, the technical heart of the house, also available in a full off-grid package.

In harmony with nature

The natural plywood furniture creates a luminous and spacious interior, while the addition of black details and trim adds a versatile and modern touch. The dark facade boards covering the exterior walls accentuate the color scheme of the house's interior. The impregnating glaze for spruce boards is available in various shades, allowing you to customize the facade and the area around your house to your liking.

If you need to relax, recharge and find inspiration, this house offers the desired peace.

Building a Tiny House – from idea to finished product

Constructing a standard brick house is a complex, multi-stage and time-consuming process. Many people associate home ownership with numerous delays and unforeseen additional costs due to complicated formal procedures, involvement of a team of professionals, and lengthy implementation. This can make it difficult to accurately estimate the final budget. 

However, owning a tiny house on wheels offers a simpler process.  A small house on wheels can be built in just 2 to 3 months, with a base in the form of a trailer, minimal paperwork and pre-set costs. The process from design selection to final key handover takes an average of 10 weeks. 

You can choose a house from our standard offer, which is immediately ready for production. Alternatively, you can choose a personalized version with the option to make small finishing changes. If you prefer, we can design a house from scratch according to your individual preferences. Please note that the design process for a custom house takes an additional two months and incurs an extra fee.

The process of building a house in our workshop consists of several stages:

• preparation of a trailer with EU approval for transporting cargo with a maximum weight of 3.5 tons. Its length is from 6 to 7.2 meters, chosen optimally for the project, so that the cargo (the house) fits within the allowed weight,

• execution of the wooden structure of the house (outer walls, roof, mezzanine – if planned), i.e. the skeleton; here the house takes the designed form,

• installation of an interior vapor barrier film and finish plywood on the walls,

Photo: REDUKT

• implementation of internal installations: plumbing, electrical, ventilation and off-grid equipment,

• installation of the main equipment in the technical room,

• thermal insulation of the structure, that is completing the skeleton with wall and roof cladding with a theminsulator in the form of mineral wool, sheep's wool or wood fiber, and then covering the entire body of the house with a membrane with high diffusion openness,

• installation of windows and doors including flashing of openings,

• installation of facade boards,

• finishing of the roof, in our houses it is mostly trapezoidal sheet metal roofing, along with installation of its drainage,

• flooring with natural board or laminate panels and installation of interior walls,

• installation of furniture, electrical fixtures and lamps,

Photo: REDUKT

• installing the final amenities in the interior,

• adding the final details from the outside as well.

We complete the construction phase with the commissioning of all installations and the technical inspection. Once the acceptance is approved, the house on wheels is ready to go, on its own wheels or by truck to the address you specify. 

In 12 weeks, at a predetermined price for the chosen model of the house, you own it and can spend the first night in it :-)  It's that simple!

3 months, a piece of land and a tractor

3 months, a piece of land and a tractor. That's more or less enough to start a hotel business based on REDUKT Tiny Houses mobile home rental.

However: 

1. 3 months a REDUKT Tiny House is built according to the specifications prepared in advance, with the possibility of adjusting some elements to individual preferences. We are not able to change everything. We are limited by the weight (3.5 tons), the dimensions of the cargo and the need to maintain correct mobility. The house is delivered to the specified address with full furnishings and equipment.

2. an interesting location is necessary, ensuring, on the one hand, close contact with nature, but on the other - safety. Guests may have a problem with staying in a completely remote area. You don't need much flat land: 10x5m is completely sufficient for the foundation of the house with an added terrace and space for barbecue and/or bonfire. Most importantly: you don't need to own the land, in a business model a lease with rent dependent on a percentage of the rental income works great.

3. utilities, or rather the lack of them, are not a problem! Our houses are equipped with off-grid packages, which enable the use of a 400l water tank equipped with an antifreeze installation, waterless composting toilets, a photovoltaic installation with an integrated battery and inverter, a gas installation with an externally located cylinder for water heating, cooking and heating, wood stove for warmth and a unique atmosphere at the same time. Of course, access to electricity or water will increase the comfort and ease of daily use.

4. tractor: yes, it is often needed, on the last straight (curve) of the towing process :) ...to reach a place where nothing disturbs the view.

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 ;) 

Photo: REDUKT

- 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.
