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.
