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.

Discover our houses. REDUKT Country

In a search of a mind&body retreat - one model but two different cabins to experience the autumn mood palette.

REDUKT Tiny Houses is one of the first manufacturers of tiny houses on wheels in Europe. Since 2017, when the first prototype was created, it has been following the changes in the small mobile house market and the evolving trends in which their customers operate. The company's mission was to respond to the need for an alternative lifestyle and to have a home that enables people to follow their dreams, to be in constant motion with their home, in line with the need for freedom of its inhabitants. The focus was on the individual customer, for whom each home was tailor-made and customized.

Nowadays, we are increasingly focusing on the needs of alternative hotel and hospitality businesses. We have started working with operators and land owners with high environmental values.  The need for contact with nature, the ease with which we can recharge our batteries while walking among the trees or admiring the sunset over a sheet of water, has been recognized by the alternative hotel business, which is locating tiny houses on wheels in naturally attractive addresses close to major cities.  We put our efforts into designing houses that will take care of guests who rent them for short stays, seeking respite from the busy pace of life and the hustle and bustle of cities - teach them to take a deeper breath and enhance their well-being.

The REDUKT Country house is perfect for this role, which, despite its 15m2 of usable space, provides full comfort. Its flexible design allows for a number of arrangements to fully match the expectations of guests and reveal a different atmosphere of spending leisure time.

For the hospitality & hotel business located near Warsaw, REDUKT Country houses were made in two color schemes, capturing the charm of the autumn foliage.

The light natural poplar plywood of the first house (most often chosen by REDUKT houses clients) gives the interior a light and airy feel. It is ascetic and quiet with respect for the natural colors of the finishing materials. Contrasting black details harmonize with the dark facade. The color of the darkened spruce facade boards blends the blocks into the light-shadow play of the forest in which they are immersed.

The darkened plywood of the interior of the second house highlights the natural grain of the wood and gives the interior a sensual and cozy feel.

The play of the sun reflected in the sheet of water emphasizes the wavy grain pattern of the walls bringing the organic lines of nature to the center of the geometric body of the house. The smoky, warm atmosphere of the house harmonizes with the natural flame in the free-standing wood stove, allowing you to blissfully enter into a reset of mind and body.

The heart of the house is a king bed that will encourage you to relax with your eyes wandering among the treetops. Underneath it are spacious drawers.

The living area also includes a fully equipped kitchen with a wide worktop, sink, two-burner electric stove and refrigerator. It houses everything you need to enjoy time spent cooking in the rhythm of slow life. An extension of this zone is a mobile table, which can be set next to the bed, but also outside, enjoying morning coffee on the terrace.

The bathroom area at the end of the house is separated by a light sliding door made of the same poplar plywood used to finish the walls.  Despite its small size, it is equipped with a full-size shower with a rain shower head, a sink with a cabinet and a toilet (here with a connection to the sewage system). Entering the bathroom, one is greeted by a view of greenery framed by a window placed over the sink opposite the entrance.

The Country House, like all REDUKT houses, is based on a timber frame structure filled with thermal insulation, which, with a properly selected heating system, provides year-round thermal comfort (infrared floor foils, a free-standing wood-burning stove and AC for heating and cooling). Wood is a key component because of its lightness, strength and renewability as a building material. Aluminum double-pane windows assuring thermal comfort make it possible to maintain the maximum allowable weight of 3.5 tons. Top-quality TYVEC membranes, steel roofing and oiled spruce planking complete the external partitions, giving a lifespan identical to that of regular frame houses.

Reading in bed, singing in the shower, eating a freshly cooked homemade dinner or sleeping with the moonlight on your face, it's hard to believe that 15 m2 was enough for the full comfort of this house.
