Cedar Finished Portable Houses

Baluchon Designs the Chicorée on a Double-Axle Trailer

— April 6, 2024 — Art & Design
French design firm Baluchon unveils a look at its latest adorable design in the form of the Chicorée. This is another tiny home that joins its roster and it measures 20 feet in length with a versatile interior structure. It has enough space to comfortably sleep about five people with the addition of two separate workspaces.

It rests on top of a double-axle trailer base foundation and is finished with a cedar look with an aluminum roof on top. The Chicorée home also has a spruce frame and is insulated with a blend of cotton, hemp, and linen materials. To round out the interior's design, it boasts a slight spruce finishing. When guests enter the home, they are met with a light-filled space immediately.
