Jan Tyrpekl, an architecture firm based in the Czech capital city of Prague, has unveiled a sustainable tiny home that makes use of a stilt-topped structure in order to avoid elevated enjoyment and views in the Hainburg an der Donau region of Austria.
Aptly named 'Zen House,' this particular sustainable tiny home takes its eco-friendly credentials from the fact that its materials make use of a variety of sustainable materials. For example, cross-laminated timber is used liberally on the roof, with laminated timber also utilized in the lower structure while the main floor specifically uses laminated spruce.
With glass walls on all sides, this sustainable tiny home offers marvelous views of its peaceful surroundings. With an aesthetic that is designed to be unobtrusive and respect the surrounding environment, the 'Zen Home' allows occupants to experience tranquility in the shelter it provides while enjoying the scenic beauty of the area.
