Located in Warsaw, Poland, Meveline Noya Tinyhouse represents a response to the growing desire for a connection to nature amidst urban living. As human life has shifted from rural areas to cities, many people have experienced a natural inclination to reconnect with nature. This project emerges from a rich narrative that intertwines personal passion, innovative design, and a commitment to quality craftsmanship. "The inception of this Tiny House can be traced back to Szymon Girtler, who, after years of producing skis under the Monck Custom brand, found himself pivoting due to unexpected changes in the market landscape. With his ski business halted, Szymon sought to further develop his carpentry skills, leading him to collaborate with Ewa Gregorowicz. Together, they identified a niche in the Polish market for well-designed micro-homes that go beyond the typical prefabricated options," said Mikołaj Wojciechowski, Co-founder of Studio Public Partnering with Mikołaj Wojciechowski and his team at Studio Public, the architects approached the Tiny House project with a fresh perspective. They began with a blank slate, asking themselves what kind of space would provide the utmost comfort. According to the architects, “The obvious choice was a bed with a fabulous view of the surrounding nature.” They envisioned a living room with an equally spectacular view, a separate bedroom for privacy, and a bathroom that also offers a glimpse of the outdoors. A terrace was deemed essential, and the architects innovatively integrated it into the house's structure, eliminating the typical issues associated with mobile homes. The terrace design not only enhances the aesthetic appeal but also serves a practical purpose. When raised, it acts like a drawbridge, securing the house and ensuring safety in remote locations. This innovative approach redefined the house's form, moving the entrance away from the center and creating a unique visual identity. The exterior of the Tiny House features a modern and ascetic character, combining graphite sheet metal and burnt wood. In contrast, the interior is designed to evoke warmth, with light plywood walls and wooden flooring. The architects paid meticulous attention to detail, ensuring that subtle LED lighting and wall sconces create a tranquil atmosphere for relaxation in the evenings. The craftsmanship overseen by Szymon and Krzysztof Herner reflects a commitment to quality that is evident throughout the project.
