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!
