This Norwegian Wood–Wrapped Tiny Home Was Built for Freedom

Norske Mikrohus’s latest design is clad in sustainable spruce—and it will take you anywhere you want to go.

The design for Tind, the new tiny home by Norske Mikrohus, was inspired by the Norwegian mountains and woods and features slow-growing Norwegian spruce for the exterior cladding.

When David and Jeanette Reiss-Andersen, cofounders of the Oslo-based tiny home company Norske Mikrohus, set to work on their most recent project, their goal was to provide an environmentally friendly alternative to the standard-size home. "We wanted to create something for people looking for a way out of the rental and mortgage markets—something for those who want easy access to nature and to live with fewer possessions," David says. The result is Tind—a wood-wrapped house on wheels that measures 70 square feet and starts at $90K.

In imagining Tind, Jeanette, the company’s lead designer, knew she wanted both the exterior and the interior to be sheathed in wood. "We wanted the model to have a modern, natural feel," she says. "It’s in contrast to Vilde, our more classic model."
