Salt & Water as Architects

A Smart Way of Using Space: Salt & Water Introduce Their Portable Tiny House


Salt & Water design studio proudly presents its latest eco-friendly project, a portable tiny house ready to fit into any landscape.


The house is mostly made of natural materials, such as wood. Its design is based on the idea of combining the outer space with the interior, a concept that provides a strong connection between users and the surroundings. This kind of layout provides users with much-needed privacy, relaxation in natural environment, as well as complete safety.


The house is designed as a multi-purpose portable object whose geometry can be changed when disassembled. The central interior part of the house is imagined as a comfy living zone with a living area, a dining room and a kitchen. There is also a sleeping zone above the bathroom. Householders can also use a tiny storage room which can be reached from the outside. There they can store all the terrace furniture, as well as gardening tools. The outdoor area, entirely consisted of a big terrace, is attached to the house and can be easily disassembled. When put together, the house is completely closed, asymmetrical and safe from any external factors - human or otherwise. During summer, the house can be fully opened, allowing the natural environment to fill the interior.


This house model is prefabricated, meaning it does not require any additional construction work. However, permits for its construction could vary from country to country. Furthermore, with only 20 square meters in size, it can even be put in someone’s yard as extra lodging.
