Small houses with their tiny spaces have become popular, not just in the United States, but all over the world. And this is what the Koleliba home, a coined term meaning "hut with wheels "has to offer.
Bulgarian designer and owner of the Koleliba home, Hristina Hristova, desired to have a tiny vacation house that their family could tow anywhere to escape from the crowds and concrete and intended of setting up a small 100-square-foot home to achieve this objective. Hristova relates her inspiration in coming up with the portable marvel: "Our limited budget as a young family kept the idea of buying a plot and building on it distant and impossible. And by doing so we were just going to be part of the concrete army invading the sea side. So we opted for making our retreat on wheels."
Hristova also wanted to have a balance between comfort and functionality. She had to debate over certain elements of the design to achieve a balance between comfort and functionality. While the space was limited, Hristova managed to squeeze everything needed, less the unpleasant claustrophobic feeling of getting stuck in a small space that is full of stuff. Its height that measures 2. 4m at the ridge of the roof and the substantial glazing makes the hut look like a spacious home. Light which comes from the full height windows gives an amazing outside view. The white oiled cladding and ply wood allow the timber to breathe and maintain an enchanting smell of freshly cut wood in the cozy home forever.
Hristova even managed to incorporate everything needed to be free from restrictions and live comfortably. For such , they installed a large glass door with a big canopy and small bench or deck so that their outdoor living space can be maximized. The wooden walls are painted white to reflect outdoor lighting at night. A convertible couch placed right in front of the full -glass door is a continuation of the cozy patio and which will permit easy entertainment. "Long dinners with sea food, chilled wine, light music and fresh air" may be hosted here in keeping with Bulgarian traditions.
