Interior of a small house KODA InteriorThe tiny KODA house, created by the Estonian design studio Kodasema, is truly impressive. Unlike tiny American modular buildings, it boasts 23 square meters of living space - a living room, a bathroom, and even storage on two of its levels. It is quite possible that this project will truly become revolutionary. The founder of the company Ular Mark, who is working on it, tried to answer all the questions about this development. “The comparison with a car factory is quite appropriate. Why are houses not equipped with complex electronics? Why are they not built with the help of perfectly calibrated robots? Why do cars have a carefully verified design, while most houses are built in a hurry and completely devoid of it? This is really striking, especially when you remember that a car tends to turn into scrap metal after 15 years, and a house, presumably, will serve for several more centuries. Logically speaking, we can come to the conclusion - houses should have a better design. This conclusion, unfortunately, has no relation to the current reality."
Interior of a small house:"Lego" for adults The walls, 15 centimeters thick, consist of several layers - fibrous concrete panels on the outside, reinforcing wood laminated strips on the inside, and vacuum insulation panels between the first two. As a result, their heat absorption coefficient is very high - about 0.1 W / m²K, and for double-glazed windows - three times more! These are very high figures. The use of such houses is very economical. For example, the construction of one such will require only 9 square meters of concrete, and at the end of its service life, all components can be removed and reused. To build a KODA, you do not need to dig much - or, if possible, suffer with the foundation. Despite the volume of the house, its base is very small - only 25 square meters.
A very small room, which contains, however,everything you need The walls and ceilings are made of flat panels, to which empty 3D modules are attached at each end – one adds a bathroom, machine room and attic, the other double-glazed windows that fit directly into the concrete without the use of traditional frames. Both 3D modules also add strength to the structure. Watch them disassemble a prototype in the factory, load it onto trucks and reassemble it in Tallinn: The 4-metre ceiling height would cause problems with transportation in North America, where the maximum dimensions allowed on the highways are only slightly higher. On the other hand, the bathroom ceiling is below even the lower limit of the standard, and certainly would not cause any problems.
A very clear drawing In his interview, Ulartalks about his ambitions in more detail: "I want to build a thousand houses, constantly improving the quality and interior, while reducing the cost. As a professional, I feel more like a car designer than an architect. The only difference here is that I am also responsible for the appearance of the parking lots."
A tiny house is not an enemy of nature. Of course,For all these advantages, there are also a few problems – even such a house needs land, water and a drain pipe, these are quite common difficulties inherent in other modular models. Of course, to start selling them by the thousands, you will have to be patient. But Mark is already on the way to his dream – and by the way, check out this bike rack!
When the designer said that the house has everything, hereally meant it I would like to believe that this material did not disappoint your expectations and small houses are your new obsession. If not, do not be upset and keep searching - our site offers many other wonderful ideas!
