The 187 sq ft trailers are a customised version of Escape’s Boho XL model and come packed with eco features and are equipped with solar panels and an off grid hot heater; the design and build process for the tiny house project began late in 2019 and was completed in April this year. The trailer itself took less than 60 days to construct.
Abbey Stark, IKEA’s senior interior design leader, utilised every inch of space to showcase the retail giant’s range of recycled and energy-efficient products.
Kitchen unit fronts made from salvaged bottle tops and sustainably grown pine panelling create a sustainable yet stylish home that oozes hygge. An array of multifunctional products help to maximise every nook and cranny for tiny living. For example, the collapsable table functions as a workspace and dining area complete with built-in storage, while IKEA’s Malm bed features deep drawers in its base.
The solid wood and veneer worktops in the kitchen score high for sustainability too. They use timber from the whole tree, including branches and twigs, to minimise waste.
Ideal for keeping kitchen surfaces clutter free, a portable induction cooktop can be packed away when not in use.
Despite its modest size, the small bathroom has everything needed, including a sink, shower and composting toilet. More green products have been chosen to furnish this zone, including the water saving thermostatic showerhead and low flow tap.
