The sleek modern tiny house, known as the Cabana, is a creation of the Brazilian architecture firm Liga Arquitetura e Urbanismo. This compact dwelling is designed to prioritize comfort and practicality while minimizing its impact on the environment. The modern cabin is versatile, intended for living in various locations, including remote or challenging terrains.
Reducing environmental impact and ensuring energy efficiency were the primary objectives during the design process. Reforested timber, steel, and cement were deliberately selected to construct the Cabana, aiming to reduce material waste, water consumption, and carbon emissions. To minimize the need for air conditioning and heating systems, the Cabana features rock wool insulation for the walls and ceilings. Moreover, strategically positioned large PVC frames enhance airflow and cross ventilation. Additionally, a wood-burning stove in the small modern kitchen and LED strips for artificial lighting further reduce electricity consumption.
The cabin includes a small living room area and stylish bathroom on the ground floor, while a ladder leads to the cozy upstairs bedroom with a window offering scenic views. The Cabana’s design allows for adaptability to diverse sites or locations with minimal environmental impact. It is well-suited for remote areas, designed for easy assembly in such spaces. The structure is divided into lightweight sections that can be carried by just two people, eliminating the need for heavy machinery during assembly. Metallic pile foundations are used to reduce environmental impact and minimize concrete usage.
Cubic (@cubic.cabanas) markets and assembles the Cabana throughout Brazil, providing specialists to ensure successful assembly and develop new foundations for the cabin if needed. For those seeking a practical and eco-friendly tiny cabin, Liga Arquitetura e Urbanismo has created a stylish and functional tiny house that can be assembled in even the most remote locations.
