In an era where sustainability and efficiency reign supreme, Eco Tiny House’s 7.3m x 2.6m x 3.4m container-based tiny house emerges as a trailblazer. Offering 19.2 m² of thoughtfully designed space for up to four occupants, this CE-certified gem from Romania combines industrial durability with residential comfort, proving that great things truly come in small packages.
The transformation of a standard shipping container into a livable space is no small feat. Eco Tiny House begins with a 20-foot high-cube container—a robust, weatherproof shell—and elevates it through meticulous engineering:
-
Reinforced Frame: Welded steel beams and cross-bracing ensure structural integrity, while galvanized coatings protect against rust and corrosion.
-
Insulation: High-quality spray foam or rigid foam panels line the walls, floor, and ceiling, creating a thermal barrier that reduces heating and cooling costs by up to 40%.
-
Waterproofing: Sealed joints, membrane roofing, and moisture-resistant finishes safeguard against leaks, a critical feature for mobile or off-grid living.
The result is a portable fortress that meets EU safety standards (CE certification) and withstands the test of time, whether placed in a bustling city courtyard, a mountain meadow, or a coastal retreat.
Every inch of the 19.2 m² interior is optimized for functionality and flow:
-
Open Layout: The main floor houses a combined living and dining area, where a fold-down table or modular seating adapts to daily needs. Large windows flood the space with natural light, while sliding glass doors connect seamlessly to outdoor decks or patios.
-
Lofted Sleeping Areas: The extra height (3.4m) allows for two loft spaces—one above the kitchen/bathroom area and another at the opposite end—each accommodating a queen-sized bed. Built-in storage under the lofts and stairs keeps clutter at bay.
-
Integrated Systems:
-
Cooling/Heating: A ductless mini-split HVAC system provides year-round comfort, with programmable thermostats and zoning capabilities for energy efficiency.
-
Ventilation: A balanced ventilation system—combining mechanical exhaust fans and passive vents—removes moisture and pollutants, while operable windows invite fresh air and breezes.
-
Electrical: A 50-amp electrical system supports appliances, lighting, and optional solar panels, making off-grid living a breeze.
Eco Tiny House’s commitment to sustainability goes beyond aesthetics:
-
Material Reuse: By upcycling shipping containers, the manufacturer diverts 1.5–2 tons of steel from landfills per home, reducing carbon emissions equivalent to 10–15 tons of CO2.
-
Energy Efficiency:
- Double-glazed windows and reflective roofing minimize heat transfer.
- Appliances (e.g., induction cooktops, energy-efficient refrigerators) consume 30–50% less power than standard models.
- Optional solar panels or wind turbines can power the home entirely off-grid.
-
Waste Reduction: The design incorporates low-flow fixtures, composting toilets (optional), and rainwater collection systems, aligning with circular economy principles.
-
Local Production: Built in Romania, the tiny house supports regional suppliers and reduces the carbon footprint of long-distance shipping.

Primary Residence: Ideal for single professionals, couples, or small families seeking affordable, low-maintenance housing without compromising comfort.
