Opti Nid Cecile Tiny Cabin

When we hear the word cabin we immediately paint the picture of a small shelter rooted to a fixed surface and provides minimal amenities. We don’t often associate it to a moving house, but that is exactly what the Opti Nid Cecile Cabin is.

It is a luxurious tiny home on wheels. The Cecile is a 20-foot long and 8.3-feet wide trailer-mountable house that can fit a small family. It boasts modern amenities such as a fully- functional kitchen with sink, stove, and retractable dining table. The cabin also has a full bathroom, a sleeping area, a desk, and a sitting area that can be converted to an additional sleeping space.

This house is constructed from a combination of natural fir and black polycarbonate and boasts plenty of storage spaces for household items. The tiny house also uses glass for the door and windows to absorb natural light and for insulation. Inside is a small staircase that leads to the second-floor master bedroom.

The best feature of this tiny house is the convertible roof. It slides open to reveal the sky above so you can sleep under the stars if you so choose. It is perfect for those warm sunny days and nights where you want to soak up the cold breeze and enjoy stargazing.

Le Koroc Houseboat

Built by Quebec’s Daigno, Le Koroc is the ultimate houseboat for adventurous fishermen. The floating tiny house measures only 26 x 8.6 ft but it’s full-packed with clever features, providing everything you need (sans the fish) for a happy life on the water.

Mostly constructed from sustainably-sourced cedar and plywood, the 5,640 lb houseboat floats atop three aluminum pontoons. It’s powered by a 90-hp Honda BF90 VTEC outboard, while roof-mounted solar panels connected to batteries provide electricity.

The deck area features three swivel seats, sonar system, dashboard with instrument panel, and even a fish tank that lets you store the day’s catch before you throw it on the barbeque.

Inside the cabin, you’ll find a dining with a seating area that transforms into a double bed, as well as a kitchenette with a two-burner propane stove, sink, fridge, and plenty of storage space. There’s also a gray water recycling system and a tiny bathroom with shower, sink, and your choice of either composting or chemical toilet. Optional features for Le Koroc include an electric anchor & motor, fishing gear, a propane heating system, and more.

A45 House

Evolving from the traditional A-frame cabin, known for its pitched roof and angled walls which allow for easy rain run-off and simple construction, the A45 House is a tiny home that can be customized inside & out and can be built within 4-6 months in any location, without the use of heavy machinery.

Although small, at just 180 sq ft, A45 manages to create more usable floor area by taking a square base and twisting the roof 45 degrees to raise the tiny home to a soaring 13 ft height. The resulting crystal-like shape gives the abode an ever-changing appearance.

Inside, home owners are welcomed by a minimal Nordic design that brings nature inside through the use of an exposed timber-frame in solid pine, Douglas Fir floors, and space-grade insulating natural cork walls. A triangular floor-to-ceiling window, made of seven glass pieces, allows daylight to illuminate the interiors.

An elegant wood-burning fireplace is nestled in one corner while off-the-grid equipment is tucked away in the back. A petite kitchen, a bed, and a bathroom clad in cedar wood are also included, while handcrafted Nordic furniture throughout accentuates the homey feel of this tiny shelter.
