Collaborative Tiny Homes

The IKEA Tiny Home Project Explores the Use of 187 Square Foot Spaces

— November 30, 2020 — Eco
Escape Homes collaborated with IKEA for the IKEA Tiny Home Project, which is an exploration of creative living solutions and clever designs for 187 square foot spaces. The project showcases Escape’s Vista Boho XL dwelling on wheels and within the compact space, the collaborators came up with solutions for "sustainability, inclusivity, and innovation."

The home boasts a Scandinavian design equipped with eco-friendly features like solar panels, thermopane windows and a composting toilet. Despite its small size, the multipurpose space also boasts a bedroom, living room and kitchen. Within the home on wheels, IKEA and Escape Homes implemented furniture pieces like the NORDEN gateleg table, which offers space for eating and storage, plus thoughtful products like the zero-waste SKOGSÅ countertop and KUNGSBACKA modern kitchen doors made from recycled bottles.
