With rents increasing and space decreasing in most Western cities, the trend of tiny houses and ADU’s continues to make itself more appealing by the day. Various international startups have popped up in recent years offering prefab designs ranging from classic A-Frame style to the hyper minimal black-box cabin. Estonia’s Kodasema entered the ring in 2016 and continues to release models to feed the demand.
Kodasema first made waves with the release of its concrete-clad, urban-oriented KODA Concrete tiny house. In the years since, several more iterations of the distinct, cube-like structure have been released, ranging from a Loft series, a Compact series(including a sauna), and last but not least their floating houseboat, the KODA Float. While the cube shape holds true across the board, Kodesema now makes the models out of timber framing, making them more mobile and thus better fit for more difficult, remote terrain. But, the KODA Concrete can still be purchased.
