"Most people plan for retirement by picking out a nice, quiet place to settle down. Ghislaine had other ideas. The retired French designer wanted to spend her golden years traveling across Europe with her cats, living completely off-grid, and answering to no one. So she commissioned Atelier Bois d'ici, a small artisanal workshop in Brittany, France, to build her the perfect mobile home. The result is Tiny Birdy, a 6-meter (20-foot) house on wheels that's built on a double-axle trailer."
"Inside, Ghislaine's personality takes center stage. The space bursts with color, patterns, and a bohemian vibe that feels lived-in rather than designed. Wood finishes run throughout, creating continuity while the decor keeps things interesting. The layout sticks to the classic tiny house formula: a loft bedroom up top, reached by stairs that double as storage cubbies, a living area with a storage-integrated sofa, and a wood-burning stove for heat."
"The kitchen comes fully loaded, proving you don't need a massive space to cook real meals. French tiny house builders have a knack for this kind of thing-making small spaces feel intentional rather than compromised. What makes Tiny Birdy genuinely independent is its off-grid setup. Solar panels power everything, while a water filtration system handles clean water needs. The waterless toilet eliminates plumbing complications, and a hybrid gas/electric water heater means hot showers are always available, rain or shine."
The Tiny Birdy is a 6-meter (20-foot) house on a double-axle trailer designed for off-grid European travel. Knotty timber cladding and blue aluminum roof accents give the exterior a warm, playful cabin-like look while keeping road-legal dimensions. The interior features a colorful, bohemian aesthetic with continuous wood finishes, a loft bedroom accessed by storage stairs, a living area with a storage-integrated sofa, and a wood-burning stove. The compact kitchen is fully equipped for real meals. Solar panels, a water filtration system, a waterless toilet, and a hybrid gas/electric water heater enable independent, practical off-grid living.
