Tiny homes are continuing to gain popularity amongst consumers seeking to live more sustainably and in any location they desire, which is seeing new options like the 'NO.MADE' cabin be created.
The cabin is the design work of Italy-based architect Michele Perlini and was shown off in the Brera Design District during Milan Design Week 2019. The cabin could be used as a vacation home, guest suite or however the owners see fit and puts a focus on the outdoor space thanks to a large glass façade on the front.
The 'NO.MADE' cabin is a CasaClima-certified prefab home and features sliding wooden panels that can separate the different spaces from one another or allow for a more open-concept feel.
