Discover our houses. REDUKT ONE

Our adventure with REDUKT mobile houses began in 2017 with a prototype trailer house with the iconic gabled roof and large window. The first house model named REDUKT-01, went through several stages of optimisation and modification. To this day, it remains in our offer as the REDUKT ONE model because of its unique character. What makes it so special?

The REDUKT ONE house refers to the traditional form of a house with a gable roof, which makes it cosy. The greatest feature of this house is the large amount of glazing, allowing you to experience nature. Huge double windows adjacent to double doors provide the best views and plenty of light throughout the interior. Here, on the sofa placed under these windows, you can sit with a cup of aromatic coffee in your hand to relax and immerse yourself in the beauty of the surrounding nature.

The functional, ground-floor layout with a mezzanine has been arranged to emphasise the openness of the living space. Specially designed modular, multifunctional furniture is mobile to make the best out of the available space. Walls and furniture made of natural plywood make the interior bright and luminous.

This house model is smaller than the others - it is 6 m long, 2.55 m wide and 3.95 m high. Despite its small size, it can accommodate up to four people. There is a full-size mattress on the mezzanine floor and an additional two sleeping places are gained by folding out the sofa bed. On level 0 there is also a fully equipped kitchenette and a bathroom with a shower.

The arrangement of the space is facilitated by multifunctional furniture - a staircase, integrated with a desk and bookcase, and a wardrobe with rod and shelves - in the form of two mobile modules, tucked under the mezzanine.

The house can be equipped with a full off-grid package, allowing it to function autonomously on the plot without access to utilities:

• an internal water tank with pump,

• photovoltaic installation with integrated battery and inverter,

• a gas installation (water heating, cooking, heating),

• and a wood burning stove with chimney installation and additional wall insulation.

Wherever you want.

5 steps to your REDUKT house

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.

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. 

A mobile home provides flexibility of choice - change plans, change places, change views. Photo: REDUKT

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. 

The interior finishing details and equipment of REDUKT houses are agreed individually. Photo: REDUKT

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. 

The process of building a trailer house takes place entirely in our workshop. Photo: REDUKT 

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.

Discover our houses. REDUKT ECHO

We're excited to introduce another mobile home from our basic offer: REDUKT ECHO tiny house. This house has a simple, modern shape with a gable roof and it's designed to stay in constant interaction with the residents and the environment. We've created several zones in it, so everyone can find their own space and privacy. What makes this model unique?

The interior of the REDUKT ECHO house

One of the cool things about the REDUKT ECHO house is that it's divided into four "rooms" inside:

• the luminous and spacious living room and kitchenette,

• a second separate room under the mezzanine,

• a bathroom with a shower, cabinet and sink, as well as a toilet,

• a mezzanine with a desk - a great quiet place to work or relax.

REDUKT ECHO house has two rooms, a kitchen, bathroom, and mezzanine, all of which add up to 14 sqm.

The living room is the biggest space in the house. It's merged with a kitchenette opposite the front door. The kitchen is fully furnished with a fridge, a sink and a cooktop. The living space is designed for comfort and convenience: with a big sofa, storage and a bookcase. Behind the bookcase is another room for those who need their separate space exclusively. 

This space can be arranged according to your needs, for an additional bedroom, work area or relaxation space. It has two bookcases with shelves and a closet in an alcove.

Once you've made it up the stairs, you'll find yourself on a mezzanine. If you place a full-size mattress there, you regain a few square meters of usable space at ground zero without sacrificing full sleeping comfort. And if you need your own corner with a work desk, it's there too :)

Tech side of the house

The house is heated with infrared floor foils and a wood-burning stove for a cozy interior climate and all-year use. You can also equip the house with an air conditioning with a heating function. The wooden structure of the house is responsible for proper thermal insulation. It has a mineral wool filling and a highly vapor-permeable membrane, which makes the walls of the house "breathe."

This house is 6.60 m long, 2.55 m wide, and 3.95 m high (including the trailer). You can make the REDUKT ECHO house function autonomously by installing the off-grid package that includes a water tank of up to 100 l with a pump and a solar system with a battery and an inverter.

The interior design of the REDUKT ECHO is a great example of how to make the most of every square meter of the space in a mobile home with a small footprint.

Glamping in a tiny house

Tent vacations in the woods or at a campground are usually seen as roughing it. But you don't have to give up the comforts of a hotel to enjoy the great outdoors. A new trend called glamping or exclusive camping is catching on in Poland and Europe.

Luxury camping

Glamping lets you enjoy the outdoors while still having all the comforts of home. It includes luxury tents with extra gear, yurts and cabins on wheels. 

Wooden mobile houses are a great acommodation for glamping because they can be placed in locations that are hard to get to and that aren't obvious.

Trailer houses are great for glamping in the woods, offering the comforts of home with all the amenities. Photo: REDUKT

REDUKT houses as micro hotels in the forest

REDUKT offers micro hotels in the wilderness. REDUKT  tiny houses on trailers can be parked on beautiful plots of land and don't require a building permit. They're small but have everything you need for comfortable stays: a living area with a fully equipped kitchen, a rest zone with sleeping place for 2-6 people and a bathroom with shower, as well as air conditioning or a wood stove. They can also be equipped with off-grid systems and appliances that let you run them on plots without access to utilities, like solar panels and a water tank. Our REDUKT houses are great for both private and business use. We build them from natural, certified materials, so they’re environment- and resident-friendly homes.

Glamping in houses on wheels

Companies like Raus, Bento Houses and Unyoked are gaining a lot of followers for stays in micro apartments that are away from the hustle and bustle of cities. Getaway Houses and Raus are developing a true network of cabin rentals that are immersed in green surroundings. They are attracting more and more guests who want to reconnect with nature and at the same time relax in comfort and ease.

We need to spend more time close to nature, with limited access to the outside world. We spend our days in crowded cities, dividing our attention between social media and reality. It's only when we taste the tranquility that reconnecting with nature brings that we realize this very need. 

Glamping is one way to solve this problem.

If you're looking for a way to relax and escape the city, you might want to check out our cabins at @bento_houses or @raus.life.

Workcation - to work from anywhere

Mobile houses for rent are an increasingly popular option for workcations in the middle of the forest. Workcation is a new trend in Europe that allows remote work from anywhere, combining travel, sightseeing, or being in nature with work. Enjoy active days without taking a vacation. Performing work duties in a tiny house located in the woods, by a lake, or right by the beach is becoming increasingly popular for those seeking to regain their balance.

Office with a sea view 

Feeling like a week-long vacation in the middle of the year is out of reach? Imagine being on the beach or exploring forest trails by bicycle just minutes after finishing work.

Houses on wheels function as a mobile office for both rental and personal use, allowing you to choose and change your workspace. And when you tire of the view outside your window, you can easily swap it for a new one :)

Work space at REDUKT tiny houses

The tiny houses’ interiors are divided into three zones: a living area, a lounge area, and a creative work area. 

The REDUKT COUNTRY house model includes a mobile long table that can be arranged in various configurations, allowing for flexibility in the workspace. The family of REDUKT PURA houses features a folding table and a folding work desk located below the window. The standard version of the REDUKT ONE model includes a mobile furniture module with a desk that can be stored under the mezzanine when not in use.

Additionally, REDUKT has completed projects that involve custom furniture solutions tailored to the specific needs of clients, such as a wall-folding top or a desk combined with a small closet. This custom furniture adds a unique character to the interiors of REDUKT houses, providing mobile spaces that allow for focus on what is important.

With REDUKT mobile tiny houses on wheels, you can live, work, and relax wherever you want. Where would you like to start your working day?

Custom-made furniture in REDUKT houses

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.

100% off-grid customized PURA house

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. We collaborate with them not only to make simple modifications to finishes, furniture, or appliance details, but also to make functional changes that may affect the structure of the house.

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.

Photo: private archive

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!

Photo: REDUKT

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.

Photo: REDUKT

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.

< What purposes can REDUKT houses be adapted for? 

The houses are designed for year-round use. They can be used as private weekend or vacation houses, additional living space next to an existing building, micro hotels, or mobile office space. The usage is up to you, and you can always relocate the house to another location.

< Can the REDUKT house be located on a plot without utilities? 

Yes, the REDUKT house can be completely autonomous, allowing it to be used on a plot without access to utilities.It is important to determine the extent to which you intend to use utilities and resources, as well as what utilities are available on the plot, so that we can choose the optimal equipment for the house. We offer a full off-grid home package.

< What is an off-grid house and what is it equipped with? 

An off-grid house enables you to operate independently of standard utilities such as electricity, water, and sewage. The self-sufficient package comprises a photovoltaic panel system that generates and stores electricity, a dry separation toilet, a water management system consisting of a tank, water pump, and heater, and a heating system that includes a wood-burning stove, gas-powered radiators, and infrared floor films.

< Can I travel with a tiny house on wheels? 

Our houses are built on trailers that comply with the traffic laws of EU countries. To move freely on the roads, you must register the trailer, the maximum weight of the house up to 3.5 tons, and its width up to 2.5m. Additionally, a B+E driving license is required.

< How to transport a prefabricated house to the target location?

We offer transportation services for your house to your desired destination. In some cases, the final stretch of the transportation process may require the use of a tractor. However it is important to address any concerns regarding accessibility beforehand, especially in cases where the house is located in a remote or difficult-to-reach area.
Larger and heavier houses can be transported on a special low-deck truck.

< What is the standard process of ordering a house at REDUKT?

At the beginning, we discuss your needs, budget, and inspiration. At this stage, we decide whether to use our ready-made designs or design a house specifically for you as an individual project. The design stage takes an additional two months and incurs an additional fee. For ready-made projects, such as PURA or COUNTRY house, we provide cost estimates based on the selected equipment, production, and payment schedules. Our team, along with external specialists, will build your tiny house over the next few weeks. You are welcome to visit us during the construction process to review the established stages of the work. Once the house is completed, it will undergo all necessary inspections. Then you will make a final acceptance (in a workshop or remotely/on-line) and decide whether you would like to pick it up yourself or have it delivered by a trusted transportation company. Your house will be ready for delivery to your address after a period of 12 weeks.

< Is it possible to design the house on individual request? 

Yes. Our house designs can be customized to meet the specific needs and preferences of our clients. Additionally, we offer custom houses upon request. Please contact us for further details.

< Are REDUKT houses suitable for use all year round?

Yes. REDUKT houses are equipped with a heat source selected based on the availability of utilities on the plot, such as a wood-burning stove, wall-mounted gas or electric radiators, or air conditioning. Additionally, the water system is equipped with anti-freeze heating cables.

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.

Photo: REDUKT

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.

Photo: REDUKT

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.

Photo: REDUKT

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.

Photo: REDUKT, pexels.com

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.

Photo: REDUKT

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.

Photo: REDUKT

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.

Photo: REDUKT

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.

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.

Photo: REDUKT

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.

Photo: REDUKT

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.

Photo: REDUKT

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.

Photo: REDUKT

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.

Photo: REDUKT

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.

Photo: REDUKT

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.

Photo: REDUKT

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.

Thermal comfort in TH in winter

Resting in nature in a small wooden house we intuitively associate with the warm months of the year. And yet the need to relax and spend time away from the hustle and bustle of the city is present in us constantly. Thanks to it, we take care of our well-being and peace of mind. In winter, when the days are colder and darkness falls after working hours, we need frequent "battery recharging" even more. A weekend at a small house, among colorful leaves in the woods or on a hill covered with white powder can be our time to seek balance and energy for the week ahead. 

The colder months are, of course, more demanding in terms of maintaining thermal comfort inside a house on wheels. REDUKT houses, however, are designed for year-round use. Learn about our ways to maintain year-round thermal comfort in houses on wheels.

The basic form of thermal insulation is provided at the construction stage of the house. In our houses we have opted for diffusion-open, "breathable" walls. We fill the walls with wood fiber, mineral wool or sheep wool. These types of insulators prevent the accumulation of moisture inside the house, creating a healthy and friendly microclimate for the residents.

Double glazing

Thermal comfort in the colder months of the year is ensured not only by good wall and roof insulation. A major role is also played by double-glazed windows and doors, which, despite their relatively large surface area, protect the interior from cooling. And at the same time they make it possible to admire winter paintings on glass.

Heating

Depending on the customer's preferences and needs, houses can be equipped with the following forms of interior heating: 

- IR (infra-red) heating foils in the floor, 

- electric or gas heaters, 

- air conditioner with heating function, 

- wood burning stove.

The foils and air conditioning can be controlled remotely via WIFI. This makes it possible, among other things, to heat up in the house before arrival or to ensure constant comfort by automatically turning on the heating at a set temperature.

An addition to the houses’ interiors that gives them a cozy character is a wood stove. It is a source of heat that takes care of the comfort of body and spirit in the colder evenings and warms up the atmosphere inside the house, even when the wind is blowing outside. Nothing soothes the senses better than the sight of a cheerful living flame in the stove... :)

When designing REDUKT houses, we take special care of the well-being of those using them both as permanent housing and as temporary residences. We want to make staying in them comfortable regardless of the season and weather.

Preparation for winter in TH

Winter comes with many challenges - tiny houses on wheels require special protection in the fall and winter season. Both off-grid houses and houses connected to the media on the plot should be equipped with systems that protect them against the negative effects of temperature drops. Prepare your house for winter early enough to avoid unpleasant consequences.

Here are the 5 most important steps:

1. Check the stove and the chimney 

Before the first freeze of the season check the condition of the wood burning stove. Make sure that the chimney is clear of any buildup. A dirty chimney can be a fire hazard, so you might hire a sweep to ensure it’s clear. If necessary, also service the HVAC system (Heating, Ventilation, Air Conditioning system). Replace the furnace filter or schedule a service appointment so that your heating system is ready to use before you need it.

It is also a good idea to prepare a supply of wood, especially if the wood burning stove will be the main source of heat on cold, long evenings. Stoves in tiny houses might need small size logs. The sight of a live fire in the stove and the smell of wood will certainly create a cozy atmosphere so that you can enjoy the winter views outside the window with a cup of hot tea in your hand.

2. Clean the gutters

Gutters collect and carry away rainwater and melting snow away from the roof to prevent water from seeping in and causing damage. However, gutters can’t do this very important job when they’re clogged with dead leaves and other debris. So step up on a ladder and make sure your gutters are clear before the first snowfall.

3. Prepare snow removal tools 

Before there is even a single flake in the forecast, make sure that all of your snow removal tools, including shovels and de-icing agents for downpipes, are ready to use. Having an anti-freezing installation in downpipes helps but still needs some care. Shovel your roof to reduce the burden of snow and ice and protect your gutters. This might be a small task on your winterizing list, but it’s an important one.

4. Be sure that the anti freezing water installation is turned on 

REDUKT houses are equipped in anti-freezing water installation to protect water pipes, valves and a tank from damages. Heating cables in gutters are also an additional option. This is our “winter package”. The system turns on automatically when the temperature drops below the temperature set on the controller. Check if the system is connected to the network and if the appropriate activation temperature has been set.

Additionally, for houses that are not used in winter: 

5. Drain the water from the water installation

If your house is used only as a summer residence and you won’t use it in winter, be sure to drain the water from the water installation before the temperature drops below zero. The excessive water pressure may exceed the pipes' structural capacity to withstand force, leading to a sudden burst.
If you have an off-grid house equipped with a water tank, empty it along with the entire installation.

The consequences of low temperatures if the house is not properly prepared before the winter season can cost a lot. Following the above steps will allow you to use your tiny house and enjoy the charms of winter, without having to worry about its condition during the cold period.

When designing REDUKT tiny houses, we want to reinterpret housing itself and what a place to live is. We are considering how to reduce our impact on the environment and gently become part of it. We dream of being able to live in a place we have spontaneously come to love and find the balance of daily life there.

That's what a couple from Vienna was looking for as well when they ordered a REDUKT PURA mobile house from us.

Mobility is the key

Their plot of land in the south of Austria offers a beautiful view of the surrounding hills, but building a house on it would have been time-consuming and expensive. As the hosts are open to changes, they decided to buy a house on wheels where mobility is an additional advantage. This flexibility in choosing where to live opens up new opportunities and new window frames for the future.

Tiny house with off-grid package

The house had to be energy self-sufficient, leave the smallest possible carbon footprint and provide a healthy microclimate for the homeowners. Taking on the first challenge, we equipped it with a full off-grid package, including:

- a comprehensive Victron Energy solar power system with solar panels on the roof and an inverter, generating electricity that is stored in a battery,

- a 400-liter water tank with filters, providing bathroom and kitchen facilities,

- a dry composting toilet that does not need to be connected to the sewer system,

- a gas water heater, conveniently providing hot water for showering at any time of the day or night,

- wood stove - an extremely effective and at the same time sensual source of heat that warms you up on cold evenings.

Photo: REDUKT

The efficiency of the solar system allows the lighting installation in a typical 230V system, supportingly infrared heating floor foils for an extra comfort and a full-size under-counter refrigerator in the kitchen.

The PURA house was designed with a large technical room under the lowered mezzanine, where all technical devices are located, along with the sensors controlling them, acting as a cockpit but with autopilot on ;)

The house remains easy to operate, while providing its owners the comfort of staying all year round on the plot without access to any utilities.

Alternative housing

The second theme – healthy alternative construction – is embedded in the DNA of the REDUKT brand. Our houses are built using timber construction; here we filled the certified spruce timber frame with our favorite material – sheep wool. It is not only an effective insulator, but also breaks down pollutants and odors, dampens noise and regulates moisture by absorbing or releasing it, being a natural air conditioner. It is also 100% renewable and compostable.

The house's interior walls are finished with poplar plywood and treated with hard oil wax based on renewable natural raw materials. They remain open diffusively, which allows the interior to "breathe".

The aesthetics of the interior are complemented by noble natural oak flooring and plywood furniture in contrasting colors, essential to the full functionality of the space we designed down to the last detail.

Interior of the house

PURA house always welcomes with:

- a spacious living area, open to the surrounding landscape through the glazings, where you can sit on fold-out corner sofa,

- a functional kitchenette,

- a bedroom on a mezzanine with a skylight window,

- a comfortable bathroom with a shower.

Our standard model also has a fold-out desk along with a side cabinet by the narrow, high window. The sliding ladder next to it provides convenient access to the mezzanine overlooking the stars.

In harmony with nature

The architecture of PURA house blended perfectly with the surrounding landscape, generously framing nature through huge windows. The sloping roof, along with the dark wood facade, continue the line of sloping roofs of neighboring houses and the hillsides.

Our dream was to build a house that heals the body and mind. According to its inhabitants, the goal has been achieved.

"Hello! I'm looking for a tiny house on wheels. I really like your houses, especially REDUKT PURA.”

This is how our acquaintance with our German client, a landscape designer, began. She was looking for a tranquil recreational accommodation on a plot between water and forest - by the Teltow Canal in Berlin-Wannsee. After three months REDUKT PURA house has moved west, completely ready to welcome its owners.

The client's first choice turned out to be a success. She wanted to have a house that, despite its small size, would allow for a comfortable stay not only for the couple, but also for their family of four.

The biggest advantage of PURA model is a clever solution that increases the height of the mezzanine while providing a fully functional space on the ground floor. The lowered mezzanine, easily accessible by stairs, allows two people to sleep comfortably, to read (we also designed a bookcase there), to relax and... to breathe deeply. You can spend a "night under the stars" in comfortable sheltered conditions there, thanks to the roof window located directly above your head.

Double entrance doors completely open the living area to the vast terrace and greenery around the house. Smaller windows - looking at each other on both sides of the living room - provide access to the sunlight at any time of the day and a natural air flow.
A soaring gable roof adds splendor, doubling the feeling of interior space, often higher than the height of our standard apartments. Its dynamic form is finished with black  metal sheets, matching the darkened spruce façade. This dark colors composition blends the house with the surrounding nature, in the play of lights and shadows of tree leaves.

The heart of this house is a wide corner sofa - from which you can admire the views outside. It plays a triple role: a comfortable lounge furniture, a spacious storage compartment and when unfolded - an additional sleeping space for two people. In the living area there is also a fully equipped kitchen with a wide laminate worktop, sink, two-burner stove, fridge, dishwasher and many cabinets, drawers and shelves. It has everything that you need to enjoy cooking with your loved ones. An extension of this zone is a foldable table that you can place in front of the sofa or on the terrace. Next to the entrance door there is an all-in-one-piece wardrobe. It has a special shoe compartment and a practical hanger for outerwear on one side and a small work desk on the other.

Photo: airbnb.de

The technical room (a key for off-grid houses, here serves also as a laundry room) is located under the mezzanine. There is an additional wardrobe allowing for a comfortable long-term stay. The comfort is complemented by infrared floor heating and air conditioning, which ensures year-round comfort due to heating and cooling. 

The bathroom area is separated from the living space by a lightweight sliding door made of the same poplar plywood that was used to finish the walls. Despite its small size, the bathroom is equipped with a full-size shower, a washbasin with a cabinet and a toilet with a sewage connection. When entering the bathroom, we are greeted by the view of greenery framed by a window placed above the sink.

Relaxing with a book on a spacious sofa, eating at a fold-out table designed by us, working, singing in the shower, sleeping with the moonlight on your face, you won't believe that 6.6 x 2.5 meters was enough to ensure the comfort of this house. 

Tiny house - micro hotel business

A weekend spent off-line in a tiny house on the edge of the forest, surrounded by nature, away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Thousands of residents of large, crowded cities dream about a way to regain work-life balance like this. The answer to their needs are tiny houses as micro hotels, which, thanks to a number of advantages, are gaining more and more popularity among hotel businesses.

Tiny house as a micro hotel

The functionality of tiny houses goes beyond the role of a small flat or a private office. Small apartments on wheels successfully work as micro hotels, located in picturesque but not obvious locations. Their popularization was significantly influenced by the growing trend of the need to escape from the city, disconnect and meet natural surroundings. More and more people appreciate the time to rest and recharge batteries in close contact with nature, far from the noise of the city.

So how to take advantage of this trend in a business based on tiny houses?

Adapting a tiny house for your own hotel business can be done on any scale - from a single apartment to a network of houses for rent. The advantage of prefabricated tiny houses among other creative hotel investments is that they can be placed in unobvious locations, not yet considered for hotels, or even on rented plots. The new business model of tiny houses on wheels is based on three-way benefits. The beneficiaries are:

• the owner of the house,

• the owner of the plot from whom the land is leased

• and guests of the micro hotel.

Advantages of TH in hotel business

The hotel business based on tiny houses has many other advantages. One of them is the wide range of possibilities of adapting such a house to individual requirements of the investor as well as conditions of the location. A small apartment on wheels can stand, for example, on a private recreational land. The plot does not have to belong to the owner of the micro hotel - it can be a rented plot, even temporarily. The house can be transported on the trailer to another place after some time, also one that does not have access to utilities. Mobile houses, thanks to the off-grid package, can be autonomous objects located even in hard-to-reach locations.

Short time of investment

Another feature of the discussed hotel business is the possibility of shortening the investment process to a minimum. The advantage of prefabricated mobile houses is the short time of their implementation from the design to the finished apartment. After adjusting to the investor’s preferences and the conditions of the terrain, a fully equipped and ready-to-rent house is delivered to the customer within 2-3 months. This allows for shortening the financing process and a relatively quick return on investment.

Remote management of a micro hotel

In addition, it is possible to equip the house for rent with smart devices, which allows, among other advantages, for remote management. Thanks to smart devices, you can have remote access to advanced information on electricity resources from photovoltaic panels, water level in the tank or gas. Both you and your clients using a dedicated mobile app, have control of locking and unlocking the apartment doors. And to increase the user's comfort, it is possible to modify the heating and lighting settings of the house on an ongoing basis, depending on the changing needs.

The off-grid package in REDUKT houses includes: solar panels, water tank, waterless composting toilet and remote control devices located in the technical room. Photo: REDUKT

Year-round rental business

Mobile houses for rent are an option for passive income all year round. The use of the winter package allows you to transform a summer house into an all-year house. Thanks to this, your micro hotel can be rented even in winter. The off-grid package with dedicated systems installed in REDUKT houses works well at any time of the year.
