Adventure Seekers: Check out this Tiny Home You Can Pull with Your Truck
If you crave the freedom to move around and enjoy nature, this mobile home built by IAAC Architects is worth a look. Designed with sustainability in mind, it was part of a Master in Advanced Ecological Buildings & Biocities (MAEBB) project and features zero-kilometer wood and basic household comforts for two.
A Look at the Design
The central area of the mobile home has a large open space enclosed by glass doors. When the glass doors are left open, this area is exposed to the elements and can be used as an entertainment area, living room, bedroom, mobile concert venue, or library.
Two enclosed rooms flank the central space. These rooms contain a small kitchen with a sink, single burner stove, countertop, and refrigerator. The bathroom houses a shower and a waterless composting toilet.
The toolbox on the opposite side stores space-saving foldable furniture. The furniture can turn the central area into a multitude of different uses.
Ultimate Sustainability and Energy Efficiency
Not only is this mobile home built with sustainable materials, but the designers also equipped it with energy-efficient upgrades. The shower water, for example, drains to a greywater tank and is then treated by a three-stage filtering system and a UV filter, then recycled. Occupants can choose to run freshwater or recycled water depending on their needs. We love this feature, as recycling water is a noble cause but not suitable for all applications.
Three solar panels on the roof provide this unit with all its energy needs. The panels connect to a MultiPlus inverter and a backup battery.
When going on remote camping trips, the energy-efficient upgrades mean you don’t have to find a campground to hook up—you’ll always have electricity and basic appliances.
