Elevated Living: The Zen House Redefines Tiny Homes
A Tiny Home with a Twist
The latest architectural marvel in tiny home design comes from Prague-based Jan Tyrpekl, introducing the Zen House—a tiny home perched gracefully on stilts. Set in the tranquil surroundings of Hainburg an der Donau, Austria, this 30 square meter abode takes the allure of minimalist living to new heights, quite literally.
Architectural Harmony with Nature
More than just a place to stay, the Zen House is a sanctuary designed to foster a deep connection with the great outdoors. Elevated four meters above the terrain on robust concrete pillars, the structure allows the landscape to flourish underneath, creating a seamless blend with the environment. The use of sustainable materials not only ensures longevity but also complements the natural beauty surrounding the home.
Structural Elegance and Comfort
The Zen House boasts a sturdy timber frame made of glued laminated spruce, with a roof of solid wooden CLT panels and a lower structure of larch timbers. The living space, reminiscent of a cozy bird's nest, serves as a private and secure alcove for inhabitants to unwind. Glass walls encase the home, providing breathtaking panoramic views, while the interior showcases polished timber floors, an open fireplace, and a snug master bed with a hidden bar/kitchenette. A timber staircase not only adds to the aesthetic but also serves as the primary entrance to this elevated retreat.
The Drawback: Lack of Essential Amenities
Despite its enchanting design, the Zen House currently lacks essential facilities such as a kitchen or bathroom. However, future design plans include a sauna, toilet, and shower, envisioned to be integrated below the main living area amidst the supporting pillars, enhancing the home's functionality without compromising its charm.
