the CaveLet Tiny House
Locally sourced pine creates a beautiful live edge lap-board finish while the rear of the CaveLet tiny house is cladded in coloured IBR sheets.
Light steel frame construction is used to keep the tiny house weight to a minimum on the professionally built double axle trailer.
Pine OSB board forms the base of the fireproof insulation ofr the tiny house inside and the impermeable but breathable weather membrane outside.
Pine plywood used throughout the tiny house, in various thicknesses to fashion the floors, mezzanine and staircase..
Paneling, built in cupboards and other storage compartments in the tiny house is finished in various shades of white with a clear coated and pinstriped floor.
The little black fireplace packs a punch, made from an old 9kg gas bottle and finished with Jarrah hardwood details...a matching wood storage basket under.
The staircase serves for loads of utility space and houses the laundry accessible from the outside of the CaveLet tiny house.
The inside-out bar counter lives out onto a 50 square meter hardwood deck and flips down on the inside the tiny house for some additional floor space.
More cupboard space for clothes in the passage which serves as a dressing room adjacent to the tiny house bathroom.
A double shower, basin with two vanity drawers and a composting toilet in this not-so-tiny-bathroom.
The top of the staircase is adorned with a custom hexagonal design privacy screen and roof shutters slide open to reveal the skylight for some stargazing in bed.
Even more shelved cupboard space with built in bedside tables at the head of the bed, complete with dimmable reading lamps and USB ports.
The 50 square meter deck adds tons of living space to the tiny house, complete with dimmable outdoor light and wood store.
A 5kw inverter with lithium batteries, charged by the solar covered roof of the CaveLet keeps the lights on.
The 1 kilo liter tank under the deck captures rain water and a 26 liter gas geyser keeps the water hot.
