Change your lifestyle with the Tiny House

The Tiny House is a small, mobile and practical cabin on a trailer! It's the ideal solution for people who want to change their lifestyle and get back to basics, closer to nature.

The surface area of a Tiny House rarely exceeds 20m². So you can easily set it up on a plot of land, without needing planning permission. However, you will need to obtain a preliminary building permit if you wish to install your Tiny House for more than 3 months per year on the same plot of land.

To find out all you need to know about setting up a Tiny House on a plot of land, we invite you to read our article on the subject, by clicking here.

A reduced but optimized surface area guarantees minimalist, simple living in a cosy, woodsy interior. It's also a way of getting rid of accumulated, unhelpful belongings, so you can live with just the essentials in a smaller space.

If you're a traveler, this is the solution for you! Thanks to its galvanized trailer, you can easily tow your Tiny House with your car, wherever you want!

Thanks to the research carried out by our design office, we are now able to offer you self-contained Tiny Houses on trailers, with options that guarantee you complete independence, without worrying about connections and bills! Thanks to these options, you can use natural resources such as the sun or rainwater.

Would you like to leave your concrete apartment or house behind for a more natural, eco-friendly solution? Choose a wood-frame chalet where you can live year-round.

Wood is an excellent natural insulator, providing superior living comfort to traditional housing. You'll feel right at home in summer and winter, in a unique woodland atmosphere.

For a complete change of scenery and well-being, choose a plot in a natural setting, in the countryside or on the mountain, far from the hustle and bustle of the city.

When it comes to surface area, choose what suits you best. We offer a wide range of models, from 20m² to 40m². The space of our chalets is perfectly optimized to guarantee you real comfort with quality fittings.

The wood used to build our chalets is carefully selected from sustainably managed forests. This noble material ensures your safety and peace of mind. What's more, it stores carbon, reducing greenhouse gas emissions into the air.

If none of these solutions suits you, but you're still interested in a timber-frame structure, tell us about your project. Our teams are passionate about working with wood, and will be delighted to find the solution that suits you best!
