架构师提供的文本描述。自给自足的生活和建筑的自然材料可能听起来像嬉皮士70年代的东西，但这座小房子设法结合可持续性和圆滑的设计。沃尔登工作室在荷兰Marjolein Jonker的拖车上安装了这座17平米的房子。房子的紧凑尺寸导致了一个多功能的设计，这使得它不仅仅是一个有内部结构的房子，而是作为一个整体的设计的一部分。

Text description provided by the architects. Self-sufficient living and building with natural materials may sound like hippie seventies stuff, however this small house manages to combine sustainability with sleek design. Walden Studio mounted this 17 square meter house on a trailer for Marjolein Jonker in the Netherlands. The compact size of the house led to a multi-functional design, which makes it not just a house with an interior, instead the interior is part of the design as a whole.

你从前门进入房子，由两扇大窗户组成。一旦进入房间，你就可以把自己安顿在角落里的沙发上，它可以容纳存储空间，也可以转换成一个可容纳四个人的餐桌。在房子的中央，你会发现一个厨房，楼梯和一张桌子。楼梯起到壁橱的作用，为冰箱提供空间。如果你认为生活更小就意味着清醒，那就再想一想吧！在浴室里，你可以坐在后面，一边洗澡一边欣赏全景，这是一种小规模的奢侈。

You enter the house through the front door, made up of two large windows. Once inside you can nest yourself in the corner couch, which accommodates storage space and can also be transformed into a dining table that seats four. In the middle of the house you’ll find a kitchen, the stairs and a desk. The stairs functions as a closet and offers space for the refrigerator. In case you think living smaller equals sobriety, think again! In the bathroom, you can sit back and enjoy a panoramic view while bathing, now that is some small scale luxury.

这座房子最具决定性的特征可能是有大量的日光进入房子，这要归功于四盏屋顶灯。尽管有一个小房子的限制，它感觉宽敞和透明。这种效果是进一步加强了使用轻型材料，白色涂饰墙壁与桦木胶合板相结合。

Probably the most defining feature of the house is the big amount of daylight entering the house, thanks to the four roof lights. Despite the constraints of a small sized house, it feels spacious and transparent. This effect is further strengthened by the use of light materials, a white finish for the walls combined with birch plywood.

 Floor Plan

这所房子受到了小房子运动的启发。住得小会带来更多的自由；你的房子里的垃圾更少了，你必须更少地打扫卫生，而且你不必担心高抵押贷款，因为平均价格是“正常”住房的五分之一。此外，较小的生活意味着消耗更少的能源。在这个房子里，一个小木炉可以很容易地加热整个家庭，屋顶安装了三大太阳能电池板，产生所需的电力。在浴室里放置了一个堆肥厕所，以减少用水和制造堆肥。这座房子还将收集自己的雨水，并使用天然废水处理系统处理废水。

The house is inspired by the tiny house movement. Living small generates more freedom; there is less junk in your house, you have to clean less and you don’t have to worry about a high mortgage since the average price is a fifth of a ‘’normal’’ house. Furthermore, living smaller means using less energy. In this house, a small wood stove can easily heat the entire home and the roof is fitted with three big solar panels that produce the required electricity. In the bathroom a composting toilet has been placed to reduce water usage and create compost. The house will also harvest its own rainwater and take care of waste water with a natural wastewater treatment system.

使用生物材料进一步减少了生态影响。举一些例子，立面是由来自斯堪的纳维亚的热改性松木制成的，经过自然处理后可以维持到热带硬木的状态。该建筑由云杉木桩和生态板组成，这是一种由农业废弃物制成的板材，已用生态涂料涂上。地板是用软木塞做的，为了在荷兰的冬天保持马约林的温暖，房子用一层羊毛进行隔热。

The ecological impact is reduced even further by using bio-based materials. To give some examples, the facade is made out of thermally modified pine wood from Scandinavia, treated naturally to last as long as a tropical hard wood. The construction consists of spruce wood studs and Ecoboard, a sheet material made of agricultural waste products, which has been painted with ecological paint. The floor is made of cork and to keep Marjolein warm during the Dutch winters, the house is insulated with a layer of sheep wool.

马约林的房子是荷兰市政当局合法安置的第一个小房子。目前，这是一种临时许可，但当地政府对一种更可持续的生活方式感到兴奋。当然，这只有通过现实世界的实验才会产生，就像这样。

Marjoleins house is the first tiny house to be legally placed by a municipality in the Netherlands. For now it’s a temporary permit, but the local government is excited about a more sustainable form of living. Of course that will only come into being by real world experiments, such as these.
