Tiny bathrooms in mobile houses

August 21, 2024

We adapt the interiors of REDUKT tiny houses on wheels individually to the needs of our clients, even such tiny spaces as the bathroom. In the standard version, the tiny bathroom in our mobile house is equipped with a full-size shower, a waterless composting toilet and a washbasin with a small cabinet.

Here are some examples of bathroom designs in our REDUKT mobile houses:

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 :)

Custom-made furniture in REDUKT houses

March 20, 2024

Before beginning the interior design process for a mobile home, we discuss our clients' furniture and furnishing preferences and storage needs. We create custom designs and offer unique interior solutions that include multifunctional mobile furniture and multi-purpose use of space depending on the time of day.

Each REDUKT tiny house has a unique feature that sets it apart from the rest. In our houses, customers can find a variety of special furniture options, including a closet, a mobile table, a folding table on the wall, a coat rack combined with a work surface, a closet hidden under a mezzanine, and a folding table on wheels, among others.

Storage furniture

Living in a small space presents the challenge of limiting possessions, but clever management can maximize storage. Our homes utilize solutions such as drawers hidden under steps, a closet located under the mezzanine, or a capacious closet with shelves next to the front door.

Work desks

In certain models of the PURA collection, the workspace is a foldable top with an easy-to-use wall-mounting system. With just two movements, you can create a peaceful corner to work in front of a window with a stunning view. As a repeatable solution, another PURA house showcased a small desk located next to the front door, combined with a dressing table – an all-in-one piece: on one side, a special shoe compartment and a practical coat rack, and on the other, a countertop with a shelf for work.

Tables, coffee tables, countertops

In tiny houses, a common element of the living and kitchen area is often a table. By utilizing the option to vertically fold the table against the wall, valuable space can be saved without sacrificing the ability to comfortably seat four people for breakfast with hot coffee.

Mobile furniture on wheels

For added comfort and convenience in daily use, we also provide mobile furniture options, such as tables or cabinets on wheels. These solutions are particularly effective when dealing with larger pieces of furniture, as adding casters or wheels makes them much easier to move.

Foldable furniture

When hosting guests overnight or entertaining a larger group, it's important to have clever interior solutions such as additional tables or sleeping arrangements. Folding sofas and split-top tables are great options for occasional use and can help maximize space in smaller living areas.
