I visited these a couple weeks ago and I didn’t like the hard surfaces of the interiors. These may make them durable and easy to clean, but I would prefer soft comfy chairs to plywood boxes to sit on. Each one has a chemical toilet attached but accessible by going outdoors to get to it. I shudder when I think of staying in one of these in the winter when out cross country skiing and having to go outside in the middle of the night to use the toilet. These are unique and if you have 4 people to share the cost it may be a reasonable alternative to camping with showers available. It would also make a great place for a group to gather in the summer if they rented the whole place because there is an outdoor kitchen to gather at.

These are sublime. I don’t know anything about the building materials but I love the lines and the way they handle light.

Angie. These rolling huts were custom made by OSKA Architects for the owners of the resort. The link to the architect’s website is above in the post. You might be able to contact them to find out more and their costs.

Wow these are indeed beautiful, and I like the attempt to make them “low-impact.” They’d be really low-impact if: (1) the interiors were constructed with no-formaldehyde, no-VOC/low-VOC materials so that the indoor air was healthy; and (2) the power sources were renewable. THAT would be really exciting. Note: looks like the interiors have lots of plywood. Enough formaldehyde–and other volatile organic compounds (VOCs)– is emitted into the indoor air by standard plywood, MDF, OSB, and construction adhesives and finishes, to cause serious illness in many people. This fact. Now-a-days, formaldehyde-free, low- or no-VOC plywood and construction adhesives/finishes are widely available. We all need to make it clear that we want construction materials used in the products we order/buy that will give us healthy indoor air in our “tiny houses”.
