Microhome innovation meets tradition with the Wandering Hut, inspired by Slavic folklore and Howl’s Moving Castle.

The Wandering Hut

Michrohome: The Wandering Hut seamlessly integrates a variety of cultural and mythical inspirations to offer a distinctive microhome experience. Drawing from the enchanting Slavic folklore of Baba Yaga’s Hut—a mythical microhome that rotates on chicken legs—and the whimsical charm of Howl’s Moving Castle film, a magical, mobile fortress, this design blends whimsy with practicality.

Flexibility and Mobility of the Wandering Hut

The Wandering Hut features four adaptable metal legs, allowing it to be positioned in various locations—on a landscape, atop a building, or over a river. These legs are removable, enabling the microhome to function as a grounded dwelling on a compact base. Inspired by Baba Yaga’s legendary hut, the design allows the home to move and rotate, optimizing sunlight exposure and views.

Cozy and Functional of the Wandering Hut

Inside, the Wandering Hut is crafted to evoke the cozy, intimate atmosphere. Despite its small footprint, the interior includes all the comforts of a modern home: a well-equipped kitchen, a comfortable living area, and a functional bathroom. Warm, natural materials and clever space-saving solutions create a welcoming environment that feels both expansive and intimate, truly allowing one to “dream in peace.”

Philosophical Inspiration

The Wandering Hut embodies the idea that a home should be a personal microcosm—a universe unto itself. Gaston Bachelard beautifully explores this concept in The Poetics of Space, writing, ” I should say: the house shelters day-dreaming, the house protects the dreamer, the house allows one to dream in peace.” This philosophy inspired the Hut’s design, emphasizing intimate, cozy spaces that foster a sense of wonder and comfort.
