Live in a Tiny House: choose an eco-friendly lifestyle! image

In today's fast-changing world, more and more people are opting for a new, alternative way of living: the Tiny House lifestyle.

This eco-friendly micro-housing solution is winning over more and more enthusiasts across Europe.

Today, living in a Tiny House has become more attractive than living in a traditional concrete dwelling in the middle of the city. Indeed, the advantages are many, and the impact on the environment is more than positive.

Reduced, optimized space

There are many reasons for living in a micro-house on wheels. One of them may simply be the desire to live in a smaller space, concentrating only on the essentials. Indeed, standard-sized mobile Tiny Houses very rarely exceed a living area of 20m². This makes it possible to sort through the belongings accumulated over the years in a traditional home. These are often items that are not used on a daily basis. Adopting this new lifestyle means you can concentrate on what's useful and practical. What's more, Tiny House layouts are perfectly optimized to guarantee practicality and comfort.

In a world impacted ecologically by excessive consumption and over-consumption, opt for the simplicity of life in a Tiny House. No more excessive and unnecessary purchases: live simply, respecting the environment and concentrating on what's really important!

Eco-friendly materials that store carbon

In keeping with ecological thinking and respect for the environment, the materials used in the construction of this wooden nano-dwelling are carefully selected. Each material has its own importance in the construction of this habitat, and must guarantee its durability as well as your safety.

Tiny House cladding is natural, and made from high-quality wood, giving it many advantages.

For example, larch or heat-treated ash are considered durable materials, lasting for decades. These materials are perfectly rot-proof and resistant to external attack (e.g. by certain insects). What's more, they are natural sound and heat insulators.

The insulation of your wooden cottage can also be completed with wood wool, a natural, ecological and long-lasting insulator. Not only is wood wool environmentally friendly, it's also good for the health of your home's inhabitants.

The materials used store carbon instead of emitting it, as is the case in traditional house construction. In fact, the building and concrete construction sector in France today is the sector with the highest greenhouse gas emissions. In terms of pollution, the sector is even ahead of the transport sector. By comparison, building a wooden house avoids 55 to 60% of CO2 emissions!

Today, it's important to opt for new housing solutions that have a positive impact on the environment.

A nomadic lifestyle and guaranteed autonomy

Nano-housing on a trailer is also a guarantee of new-found independence, wherever you may be. Thanks to numerous autonomy options and research by design offices, these options are now more and more effective. They enable you to live fully autonomously in terms of water, energy and electricity, with no need for mains connections.

Rainwater harvesting and filtration systems guarantee the use of a natural, renewable resource. This is also the case for photovoltaic systems, which can be installed on the roof of your Tiny House to guarantee an electricity supply. Increasingly efficient, they ensure autonomy even in low sunlight conditions.

A sustainable investment

Last but not least, this type of home represents a long-term, profitable investment. The price per m² of this type of dwelling is lower than the price per m² of apartments near major cities.

Whether you want to live in it year-round, rent it out or use it as a vacation home, this environmentally-friendly solution is far more attractive than investing in a concrete building.

Thanks to its price, you're sure to get a quick return on your investment in this ecological and functional solution!

Choose an ideal setting - in the countryside, in the mountains or by the sea - and enjoy a simple life close to nature!
