Small Japanese House Designed by ChrisHaining The Tiny Japanese House described in our article has all the benefits that many people actually decide to live in an ultra-compact home. It offers its owners a certain financial freedom associated with the absence of mortgage debt and has a smaller impact on the environment compared to traditional cottages and mansions. In addition, its owners can move from place to place and transport the house with them. There are many examples of people who managed to build quite a comfortable little shelter for only a few thousand dollars, and what is at the other end of the price scale? Probably this luxurious - without exaggeration - house of only 26 m2, located in the city of Aurora, Oregon. Designed by Chris Haining, a former Christian missionary and now the owner of a construction company, this house is reminiscent of those impeccably planned Japanese homes in which the developer stayed for a while on duty. The exact dimensions of the object are as follows: 3 meters wide, 6 meters long and 4.5 meters high. Its design includes many Japanese-style elements, such as a sliding front door - a practical interpretation of shoji. Immediately behind it is a nice living room with a large window, under which a built-in bench is installed. Incidentally, it can be converted into a bed for guests if necessary.
The kitchen area, equipped with a refrigerator and a convection oven, has a mini-diner. The space under the stairs is occupied by an electric fireplace.
Those with sore knees will find this interesting.find out that the staircase in this house is the most convenient of those that can be found in buildings of this type. In addition, under its steps there are spacious compartments for storing things.
The bathroom here is magnificent! It is equipped with a water-saving toilet and a Jacuzzi. The latter element is not eco-friendly, but it is quite luxurious.
The mezzanine is not a sleeping area, butA full bedroom with 2.1-metre high ceilings – many people will be able to stand up straight here. The neutral tones create a calming atmosphere.
The house has another interesting feature:Haining has provided the possibility of easy dismantling of the roof and walls of the loft for transportation. Thanks to this, the structure easily fits on a 6-meter trailer platform.
The house is currently listed for sale atpriced at $70,000. Some might say it's not eco-friendly in the true sense of the word and therefore doesn't fit into the tiny home concept, and we wouldn't argue with that. But if we take the grand three-level mansion with a swimming pool as a starting point, isn't Chris Haining's project a step in the right direction?
A very small premium Japanese home.
