If you have ever wished you could build a tiny cabin set atop a mountain in the middle of nowhere, then we have news for you – it is very possible.
Norwegian creative Torstein Aa has created the Livit Birdbox, inspired by Norway’s mountains and angular landscape, the Birdbox is a tiny cabin that leaves a minimal footprint in its environment and has a black, hardwearing exterior so it can blend in with, and withstand, any type of harsh landscape. It can even be fitted with solar panels for off-the-grid living.
The Livit BirdBox is currently available in two prefabricated models: Mini and Medi. Both Birdbox designs are big enough to accommodate one to two people with a bed, storage and additional seating. However, the Medi design comes with a kitchen bench with sink, and lounging area. The cabin-style dwelling is also fitted with massive windows to make the most of the view and landscape in which you place it.
You can even buy a Livit Birdbox toilet pod with a floor to ceiling one-way glass window so you can take in the view while on the loo, that can be purchased separately and positioned close to the dwelling.
The best part is that Livit Birdboxes can be shipped anywhere in the world, even to Australia. Just purchase online and have it delivered to a location of your choosing, where it will be dropped in via helicopter and mounted on columns, complete with furniture.
The idea behind Livit Birdboxes is to bring people closer to nature while offering shelter and comfort, but small enough not to cause irreversible damage to the environment in which it is placed. Genius.
If you would like to try before you buy, you can actually stay in a Livit Birdbox in Norway thanks to Airbnb. There is one located in Fauske with views of the epic Blegja mountain range and the Førdefjord, and another located in Førde.
A truly unique tiny home.
