The Terra m2_Tiny House on Wheels, designed by Portuguese woodworking specialist MadeiGuincho, is a compact and innovative living space built on a double-axle trailer. Measuring 5 meters (16.4 feet) in length, this tiny house features a unique three-level interior layout that maximizes available space. The exterior is finished in wood and cork, materials chosen for their sustainability and insulation properties. The main entrance opens into a small kitchen equipped with essential appliances and cabinetry. From the kitchen, steps lead up to a living area with seating and down to a bedroom with a double bed and storage. The bathroom, located on the kitchen level, includes a toilet and shower and provides direct access to an outdoor deck.
The Terra m2_Tiny House on Wheels also includes storage-integrated stairs that lead to a rooftop terrace, offering additional living space and views of the surrounding area. The design emphasizes natural light, with generous glazing throughout the interior. This tiny house is part of a series of three homes produced by MadeiGuincho for Portugal’s Alentejo region, intended for short vacations for couples and individuals. The rustic interior finish highlights the beauty of wood, creating a pleasant and inviting atmosphere.
