Tiny Rubik is a 20-foot tiny house built by Romania-based Eco Tiny House on a double-axle trailer with 16 square meters of interior space. The exterior uses engineered wood siding paired with a metal roof, and the plan centers on a kitchen positioned as the main working zone. The kitchen includes an electric induction cooktop, a built-in sink, upper and lower cabinetry, and a built-in refrigerator sized for compact living.
Tiny Rubik includes two separate sleeping areas, with a main bedroom on the ground floor and a loft bedroom accessed by a ladder and enclosed with wooden railings. The upper level can also function as a reading nook or storage when not used for sleeping. A Samsung air-conditioning unit is integrated for climate control, and off-grid options such as solar panels are offered. Additional storage is built into a box mounted on the trailer tongue for outdoor gear.
