In the crowded tiny house market, Portugal’s Madei Guincho offers something a little different, with wooden models handcrafted by experienced carpenters. Its latest creation, Atlantica, allows a family of four to escape the hustle and bustle of the city and live off-the-grid in nature.
Atlantica is 7 meters (23 feet) long and the living space is extended with a porch area with an access ramp. This home also features ample glass, several shutters, and a drop-down table outside the kitchen for serving food during parties or simply eating outside. The interior is finished in wood and plywood, giving it an attractive and light-filled look.
The double glass door opens into the living room. This includes a sofa, a very small woodstove that is enough to heat the whole house in the winter, and a ceiling fan to help keep you cool in the warmer months (the position of the house under some trees also provides some shade). )).
Nearby is the kitchen, which features a breakfast bar for two, plenty of shelving, and cabinetry. You’ll see a sink and a two-burner stove powered by propane. Since this is a full-time residence for a family, there’s probably also a fridge/freezer and oven hidden in the back, but the promotional shots don’t show anything like that.
Atlantica’s kitchen is connected to the bathroom. This includes a sink, shower, and composting toilet, as well as a glass door that provides a secondary entrance to the home (there’s also a curtain for privacy). Unusually, Madigincho often installs a second entrance in bathrooms such as Raposa.
The master bedroom is located opposite the bathroom on the first floor of the tiny house. Although it looks quite small, it has storage space and a double bed.
In addition, Atlantica has two loft-style bedrooms with low ceilings. One is located above the bathroom and is accessed by a fixed wooden ladder. There is space for a double bed and a skylight above it. Meanwhile, a second loft space is located downstairs above the master bedroom and is accessed by a removable ladder. It also has a double bed, but there is no skylight. Both bedrooms have small porthole style windows.
Atlantica is located in the middle of a pine forest in the Portuguese countryside. Power is provided by an array of solar panels on the roof connected to batteries. I don’t know anything about the price of this product.
