Designed by Baluchon, and called the Yggdrasil tiny house, this uniquely-named home is 20 feet in length and intended for a 6.3 feet tall owner. Baluchon needed to keep the home in the “tiny home” category, without letting it feel too cramped for its tall owner. The home is equipped with a simple and cleverly designed layout and amped with flexible furniture. Generous glazing has been incorporated to ensure maximum sunlight enters the home.
Designer: Baluchon
The name Yggdrasil has been adopted from Norse mythology. The home is based on a double-axle trailer and is accentuated with a cedar finish and blue aluminum accenting. The insulation is made from a mix of cotton, linen and hemp. The home is powered by a standard RV-style hookup. The interior of the home is finished in spruce, and it seems to be quite open and spacious, despite its compact size. As you enter the home, you are welcomed by a living room. This space includes a big L-shaped sofa bed, with loads of integrated storage space. The bed can sleep two people, and the room also includes a dining table and a wood-burning stove for heat. The kitchen is placed next to the living room, and it includes an oven, fridge, sink with a cutting board insert and plenty of storage space. The counters in the kitchen are higher to complement the tall owner.
A glass wall separates the living room and kitchen while ensuring sunlight still streams into the room. The bathroom is connected to the kitchen and is pretty small, equipped with a toilet and a shower. The Yggdrasil only contains one bedroom, and it can be accessed via non-removable wooden steps. The bedroom is like most bedrooms in tiny homes, it sports a typical loft style with a low ceiling. The room is shaped like the letter L and has sufficient space for a double bed and storage space. We don’t know the price of the Yggdrasil tiny home, but Baluchon houses usually start around US$84,000.
