Papillon: the compact, eco-friendly wooden house
The Papillon is a true compact and innovative wooden house! It accommodates 4 beds in two distinct spaces. Its façades and layout have been designed to create a bright, pleasant interior with low energy consumption — a real ecological and economical plus!
Thanks to its 11 windows and large openings on all sides, this modern flat-roof wooden house with mezzanine is extremely luminous. Even at night, you can observe the starry sky from all four sides! A generous ceiling height gives a true sense of space.
The flat-roof wooden construction Papillon features a 10 m² mezzanine — ideal for a comfortable, spacious bedroom — a ground-floor living area of over 12 m², including lounge, dining and kitchen space, plus a 4.2 m² bathroom. All this gives nearly 30 m² without requiring a building permit.
A traditional house feel in a small footprint
This outbuilding’s layout is optimized to offer all the comfort of a traditional house in a compact space. Enjoy a wood-rich interior bringing you back to the essentials, with low energy use thanks to natural, efficient insulation. The living space of 17 m² on the ground floor and 13 m² mezzanine makes Papillon a blend of garden studio and Tiny House without taking up excessive space.
Installation is simple, quick, and requires no building permit!
