"Founded in 2024 in Guidel, Brittany, , the company Tiny Binocles designs and manufactures compact mobile homes characterized by their distinctive round windows and use of construction methods. The structures combine practical spaces with sustainable materials, reflecting a design approach rooted in craftsmanship and ecological responsibility. The twin circular windows, a defining element of the Binocles series, provide daylight, natural ventilation, and framed views of the surrounding environment. This feature not only establishes the houses' recognizable identity but also enhances their environmental performance."
"The Binocles collection consists of six variations. Grand-Duc (22.18 sqm) spans two mezzanines, accommodating four to six occupants. Lapone (17.39 sqm) is a single-level model designed for step-free accessibility, while Chevêchette (12.94 sqm, 4.28 m length) offers a compact solution for two. Each unit is mounted on a 3.5 t trailer, keeping them legally towable under Europe's standard B(E) license. Alongside the Binocles series, the company also produces the Classiques collection, which adopts more conventional aesthetics."
Tiny Binocles, founded in 2024 in Guidel, Brittany, produces compact mobile homes defined by twin circular windows and craft-based construction methods. Designs prioritize daylight, natural ventilation, framed views, compactness, efficiency, and durability influenced by boatbuilding techniques. The Binocles lineup includes six variations ranging from a two-mezzanine Grand-Duc to a step-free Lapone and a very compact Chevêchette, all mounted on 3.5 t trailers to remain towable under Europe's B(E) license. Timber is regionally sourced from responsibly managed forests, insulation relies on bio-based, petrochemical-free materials, and natural oils protect wood surfaces without synthetic coatings.
