The Leaf House Version.3 is the third version (surprise, surprise) of the portable tiny home from Canadian tiny living firm Leaf House. This home is capable of handling temperatures of -50 degrees Centigrade and is equipped with a number of improvements over its predecessor, including a lighter weight and expanded interior space.
Leaf House Version.3 measures 4.9 meters long and includes an interior floor space of 9 square meters. It is partially constructed with sustainable and reclaimed materials including specially repurposed metal mesh. Its interior is illuminated by LED lighting and includes a small shower, composting toilet and a kitchen area fitted with a double stove, sink and a tiny fridge freezer.
The home is set to be put for a sale for a price somewhere between $30,000 and $40,000.
