Baluchon designed the Yggdrasil tiny home, which is a uniquely named residence with a simple and clever layout. It measures 20 feet in length and is meant for a 6.3-foot-tall owner. It is filled with flexible furniture designs and boasts generous glazing for an airy feel with a plethora of natural lighting.
The name is inspired by Norse mythology and the home rests on top of a double-axle trailer. At the exterior space, it is complete with a cedar finish and then accented with blue aluminum for a pop of tonal contrast. The insulation is crafted from a blend of linen, hemp, and cotton for a soft and cozy feel. It is all powered by a standard RV-style attachment and the interior is finished in spruce.
