Faced with the hectic pace of everyday life, many dream of a simpler, more mobile refuge, closer to nature. Tiny house, A-frame house, converted van… these small habitats go off the beaten track and open up another way of living. They cost less than a traditional house, adapt to our desire for freedom and offer surprising comfort in a small format. We push the door, we breathe, we project ourselves. Discover this way.
The tiny house, a little house on wheels to go everywhere
Imagined in the 2000s by the hedonistic American architect Jay Shafer, the very first tiny house praised minimalism. Proof that you can live with little, this mini-house full of ideas becomes, over the years, a real way of life. Clad entirely in wood, it resists bad weather and you will be sheltered there. Inside, all the modern comforts in XS format invite you to cocoon all year round. Mounted on four wheels, the tiny house will take you everywhere and become your refuge.
The A-shaped house, a triangular dwelling that has it all
The A-frame, as our Anglo-Saxon friends call it, is a house with a pointed roof. A nod to the chalet and the wooden cabin, it attracts city dwellers looking for nature. Appearing after the war, in the 1950s/60s, the first A-frames brought joy to American families looking for an inexpensive second home. Now democratized, this architecture is popular. They are found in the heart of Canadian forests and are legion on Airbnb. Properly insulated and heated with a wood stove, the A-frame house also has the significant advantage of offering impressive ceiling height. In short, she’s got it all!
The van designed to hit the road without turning around
It’s not new and yet our grandparents’ Volkswagen combi is still all the rage! After treating himself to a rather timely expense, he now provides comfort and security to anyone who wants to take the road with him and live there. Optimized like never before, the current models look like real small apartments. Bedroom, dining area and office, kitchen, bathroom, toilets… Everything is there!
And whether you want to fit it out yourself (a great gamble) or prefer to buy it already equipped (we highly recommend the opportunity), we hope you experience the van life you’ve always dreamed of!
