This tiny home with waterwheel is a hybrid prototype that uses two sources of clean energy (where “clean” means having zero impact on the environment, and zero CO2 emissions during energy production). The two sources are: Sun (as most common residential and off-grid solutions), and Water. This second source is collected under the form of rainwater and properly channeled towards a Waterwheel.
How does the whole thing work? How is power generated?
During rainy days, Potential Energy is then converted into Kinetic Energy and finally Mechanical Energy, being the last step of the whole chain to put a low-RPM permanent magnet generator in motion, hereby producing electricity during those rainy days where solar panels cannot guarantee enough charge. Simply speaking: the house is a fully energy-independent system.
What’s the roof of the tiny home made of? Tin or tiles?
Despite the humble nature of the project, particular care has been put into choosing the type of roof. Tin would have surely cut costs and installation times, but the warmth and the solidity of a tile made of terracotta is something that makes a real home standing out from being just a hut. This translates into a more energy-efficient environment and, of course, a deeper sense of “home”: a warm and nice good looking tiny home with waterwheel!

Can I come to visit the house while project is still under construction?
YES, inspections are welcome: you can book an appointment to come and check the site, but please be aware that you will visit an unfinished job. Visits are required in order to fine-tune any customization/extension, though.
Will you assemble the whole thing on my premises..?
I’d love to. By choosing this service, I will make sure your new tiny home is fully engineered, assembled and delivered by one person, proving my care, commitment and comprehensive service.
Can I change the color of the outside walls?
Some customizations are offered, and wall color is surely one of them. Customizations are considered after a deposit is made.
What is your delivery window?
Once the project is ready, full assembly, connection and test is guaranteed within 3 weeks, given a proper concrete slab/deck is structure-ready to host the house. Depending on the type of installation you choose, designing/installing a proper area for the house is a service that is offered (and also recommended), although you can decide to install the unit on an existing area.
