kitHAUS’s K1-A Stunning Design for Those Who Love the Sun
The world of housing is on the verge of being changed forever. New attitudes, new designers and new techniques are set to merge with a global re-evaluation of how, where and why we build homes. New visionaries are on the scene and they are definitely shaking up the concept of what a house should and can be. Slowly the idea of lugging tons of wood, brick and mortar out to a home site is beginning to fade.
One very interesting company that is having an impact on the tiny home movement is kitHAUS. kitHAUS has some striking designs and great ideas, with homes ranging from 187 square feet all the way up to 289 square feet. Their largest design is the K1, is currently available in California. If you like lots of sunlight and want that “wow” factor in your home, then this tiny house delivers a substantial punch. One entire wall is an essentially a massive window, measuring almost eighteen feet high and seventeen feet across. If that is not enough light for you, then consider that the K1 has windows that wrap around an entire section of the house.
In addition to a great design and a very modern look, consider for a moment that the K1 kit, which largely consists of aluminum, comes delivered on a truck ready for assembly and can be assembled in just a couple of days. There is even an off the grid solar option by Ready Solar. K1 just has that cool factor that will grab most people’s attention. At $75,000 dollars it may not be the cheapest small home on the market, but it definitely one of the most eye catching.
If you are on a tighter budget then maybe you’ll want to consider the K4, which is about 187 square feet and costs approximately $43,000. While smaller than the K1, the entire K4 kit weighs a mere 7,000 pounds. There is even a solar heating and air conditioning unit that has been designed specifically for the K4. Much like its larger cousin the K1, the K4 has ample light exposure and a very innovative design. Many will appreciate the prominent shutters and the maple plywood walls.
Take a peep at the K1 and some of their other innovative designs at www.kithaus.com. If you are considering a tiny house or a modular home, these sleek, modern designs might be a fine fit.
