Tiny house for hotels and nature hotels

A new room category, not an outbuilding

Hotels that place tiny houses rarely do so for lack of space. They do it because a free-standing room with a terrace and a view of the landscape is a category the main house cannot offer — and one guests pay for differently. The rate per night follows the experience, and the experience starts with the house belonging to the hotel rather than standing beside it like a stranger.

So planning starts with the category: what fit-out does a guest expect who pays more for this room than for a double? Bathroom, bed, light, outdoor space, quiet — and how the house speaks to the main house from outside. Facade and materials are chosen for that, not from a catalogue.

Housekeeping, services and routes

A room outside the house has to be cleaned by housekeeping in the same time as one inside, or it does not pay. That sets the layout: bathroom and bed reachable without a ladder, surfaces that clean quickly, linen and cleaning material within a short walk. And it sets the position: path from the main house, lighting, winter service.

The services are connected to the hotel — power, water, wastewater, possibly network and locking system. What the hotel can supply determines what makes sense in the house. We plan the connection points with the building engineer before the house is built.

Design in keeping with the main house

A nature hotel in the Black Forest, a lakeside hotel on the Baltic and a mountain hotel in the Alps make different demands on what may stand in the garden. The eight models differ in layout; facade, roof form and colours are chosen per site — Thermowood, composite panel or standing seam, light or dark, with or without a terrace.

Where the hotel has a design statute or heritage conditions, they go on the table before planning. The model images on the website are visualisations; for coordination with the house we show photographs of built units and material samples.

Delivery without a building site in season

A hotel cannot have a low-loader and a crane in the garden while guests are at breakfast. Delivery is therefore set for the closure or for quiet weeks and planned as one day: access, crane position, placement, connection. The house arrives fully fitted out; what remains on site is connections, levelling and the outdoor space.

The way from production is by road, with a Ro-Ro or ferry leg depending on the destination. The final access — drive, bends, load-bearing, trees — we check with the hotel before ordering.
