Dwelle. is a U.K. based building design company. They have a full line of tiny prefab buildings that include two tiny homes (about 250 and 150 square feet respectively), plus a tiny office structure and an even tinier "beach hut." They even have a stand-alone backyard gym complete with sauna and hot tub. I have chosen to focus on the two tiny home models.
The company is very much sustainability oriented and intends these buildings to be entirely "off-the-grid." These homes are apparently designed so that they can produce all of the energy they require. For example, this design is super-insulated and can be purchased with a solar electric system, solar hot water, super efficient LED lighting, and energy conserving kitchen appliances. As you can see below, there is a wide choice of exterior finish materials.

Even though the dwellings are small, even tiny, they are designed to maximize the sense of spaciousness. The rendering below depicts the interior of the largest dwelling model. Despite its mere 250 square feet, it sure looks comfortable and surprisingly spacious.

The floor plan and rendering shown below are for the 150 square foot unit. That's equivalent in size to a typical bedroom, yet it packs in a three fixture bath, kitchen, living area, 2 closets, and sleeping loft. All that in a very attractive and sustainable package. It's not for everyone of course, but for some people, it might be just right. |
