This tiny home folds up so you can transport it anywhere

Tiny houses have become more and more popular in the past few years. There are plenty of quirky models to go around, but a tiny house that folds and unfolds like origami is definitely a unique take.

Brette Haus is a relatively new Latvian-based company that produces three different models of tiny houses made entirely of sustainable materials that can be transported anywhere in the world. According to the company, they can be set up by two people in around three hours, as the cabins are meant to be folded and unfolded much like a sheet of paper without the need for permanent foundations.

Founder Gennadii Bakunin explained to Lonely Planet, that all three models are inspired by Scandinavian style. They range from 18 to 108 square-meters and come with a kitchen and a bathroom (both equipped with basic furniture), a living room and a bedroom. They can be easily transported when they’re folded and Brette Haus ships them all over the world, from Lausanne in Switzerland to Busan in South Korea.

“The mission of Brette Haus is to fabricate quality mobile homes considering that nowadays people are flexible and not attached to only one place,” according to an official company statement.
