A Modern A-Frame Tiny House Nestled in the Serene Forest

The A45 cabin is a modern A-Frame tiny house built with customization in mind. Conceptualized as a fully tailored space that can be purchased, erected, and placed within four to six months. The home boasts a minimalistic design that allows for a variety of different applications and uses.

In an odd “twist” of events, BIG decided to expand the space by conforming the roof to a 45-degree angle, which allows for an almost 13-foot high ceiling – perfect for making the home feel much larger than it really is.

Upon entering, the 180 sqft interior space reflects a minimal Nordic abode prioritized for ‘hyggelig’ comfort and design.

From the exposed timber frame in solid pine, the Douglas Fir floor and customizable space-grade, insulating natural cork walls, A45 brings nature inside.

An elegant Morsøe wood-burning fireplace is nestled in one corner while off-the-grid equipment is tucked away in the back.

A petite kitchen designed by Københavns Møbelsnedkeri, hand-crafted furniture from Carl Hansen.

Lastly, the fitted bed with Kvadrat fabric designed by Soren Rose Studio is some of the handcrafted Nordic furniture to adorn A45.

The bathroom is made of cedar wood with fixtures by VOLA.
