Forestière
Forestière is a 4.28-meter-long Binocles model. Unique in its kind, it retains a dynamic look. On the façades, as with its sister models, you’ll find the signature ‘Binocles’ design with large asymmetrical eyes that let light pass through and naturally enlarge the interior space by connecting it with the outdoors. It stands out with its cladding made of natural, durable Douglas fir. Its pinkish-brown color will take on silvery hues over the years.
Overall narrower than the others, it was designed to be open to the world and to travel without constraint.
Forestière is a Tiny Binocles for 2 to 3 people.
On the upper floor, a spacious bedroom accommodates a large double bed and a storage area isolating the space from the living area. On the ground floor and at the back of the cabin, is a fitted bathroom with a shower and lavatories. In the middle, a fully equipped kitchen.
At the front is a living space with a cathedral ceiling. The squared seating area can be transformed into a bed and lies on top of storage compartments. A table is embedded at the centre of it for meals.
On top of the drawbar, matching the overall design, a technical chest, optimising the inside volume and thus comfort.
This version of the Tiny Binocles is also provided in a 100% self-sufficient version, with a wood-burning stove for heating, a gas cooker, a gas boiler for hot water and solar panels for electric supply.
This small Binocles model measures only 4.28 meters long. Because of its size, this small house is easy to travel with, more flexible while remaining comfortable and up to the Tiny Binocles standards.
