MULTIFUNCTIONAL
MICRO CABIN

• What is Tiny D and who is it designed for?

Tiny D is a 15 m² movable prefab tiny house created by Brette Haus and WSBY specifically for hospitality businesses (boutique hotels, glamping sites, wineries, eco-resorts and rental operators). It functions as a fully equipped guest unit with bedroom, kitchenette, bathroom and utility zone, allowing you to add profitable accommodation on woodland, vineyard, coastal or garden sites with minimal infrastructure and fast ROI.

• How is Tiny D different from other tiny houses?

Tiny D is engineered as a revenue-generating asset, not just a lifestyle product. It's optimized for hospitality operations with high-quality insulation, year-round comfort, simple maintenance, and a compact footprint that maximizes nightly rates per m², offering 2+2 accommodations. The cabin delivers hotel-level amenities (full bathroom, kitchen, excellent acoustics) in a small, energy-efficient package designed for repeat guest use.

• What is the lifespan of a Tiny D cabin?

With regular maintenance, Tiny D cabins can last 50+ years — just like any high-quality wooden structure. The natural wood construction, premium insulation, and durable framework ensure long-term performance in coastal, forest, and mountain climates.

• Where are Tiny D cabins manufactured?

Every Tiny D cabin is crafted in Latvia by experienced engineers and carpenters using sustainably sourced timber and premium finishing components. We maintain strict quality and environmental standards throughout the manufacturing process.

• What is the typical ROI for a Tiny D unit in hospitality?

ROI depends on your location, occupancy rates, and nightly pricing. Primary our customers breakeven after 480-500 nights. Many operators see faster payback due to minimal site preparation, energy-efficient operation, and the premium "cabin in nature" positioning that commands higher nightly rates.

• Can Tiny D cabins be financed?

While we don't offer direct financing, many clients secure funding through local banks or lenders. We're happy to provide documentation needed for loan applications. If you're a business buyer with a solid financial background, we can work with you on extended payment terms (factoring). Ask our team for details.

• Can I start with one cabin and scale later?

Absolutely. Tiny D is designed for scalable growth. Start with 1–2 units to test demand and guest response. Add more cabins as your business grows without committing large capital upfront or blocking land with permanent structures. However, it might be reasonable to order a batch of 2 units to split shipping and lifting costs.

• What is included in the standard Tiny D price?

Our standard pricing includes the cabin structure, finished interior, full bathroom (shower, WC, handbasin), pre-installed plumbing and electrical systems, and basic utility hookups. Transport to your delivery point is calculated individually. Optional upgrades such as kitchenette, solar kits, heating systems, terraces, and special finishes are specified in the detailed proposal.

• How long does it take to manufacture and deliver a Tiny D cabin?

Typical production time is 12–14 weeks from order confirmation. Delivery timelines vary based on your location, but we manage the entire logistics process to ensure smooth coordination. Installation on-site typically takes just a few hours to one day, depending on access and site conditions.

• How is the Tiny D cabin delivered?

Tiny D is delivered as a completed prefab unit on a low-bed trailer. The cabin arrives ready for installation — no complex on-site assembly required. Even remote or hard-to-reach locations are accessible thanks to the compact transport footprint.

• Do you offer installation services?

Yes. Depending on your location, we can provide full installation services or recommend trusted local partners to assist with setup. Our team will guide you on best practices for site preparation and anchoring.

• How is the Tiny D cabin anchored?

Tiny D cabins are typically anchored using ground screws or light concrete pads, minimizing environmental impact and allowing for easy future relocation if needed. Our team will advise on the best anchoring solution based on your soil type and site conditions. However, it is recommended to consult with a local specialist.

• Do I need building permits or permissions?

In most regions, any new structure (movable or permanent) requires approval from local authorities. We strongly recommend checking local zoning and building regulations before placing your order. Brette Haus can provide technical specifications and documentation to support your permit applications. Often, hospitality projects can get a permit for accommodation tiny cabins using a fast track.

• Can Tiny D cabins be used year-round, including winter?

Absolutely. Tiny D cabins are designed for year-round comfort with high-performance insulation that meets cold-climate standards. The thick wooden structure provides excellent heat and sound insulation — several times better than brick or concrete of similar thickness — ensuring comfortable guest stays even in windy coastal or mountain locations. Optional upgrades like infrared or underfloor heating extend shoulder season and winter operations.

• How are utilities connected?

Each Tiny D cabin comes pre-fitted for easy connection to standard electricity, water, and sewage systems. Hookup is straightforward, similar to connecting a small residential unit. For off-grid projects, we offer solar energy kits, rainwater harvesting systems, and composting or off-grid toilet solutions.

• Can I configure a fully off-grid Tiny D cabin?

Yes. You can equip Tiny D with a solar energy kit (5 kWp), off-grid toilet, fire or pellet stove for heating, and rainwater collection systems. This allows you to place cabins in remote vineyards, forest sites, or coastal areas without access to municipal utilities, reducing infrastructure costs and expanding your location options.

• What maintenance is required?

Maintenance is similar to any high-quality wooden structure: regular exterior treatments (staining or sealing every few years), inspection of joints and seals, and standard HVAC or plumbing upkeep. We provide a detailed maintenance guide with every cabin to help your team keep the unit in excellent condition.

• How do guests typically rate the comfort and space?

Guests describe Tiny D as surprisingly spacious despite its compact dimensions, with full bathroom amenities, good acoustics, generous natural light, and excellent thermal comfort. The natural wood interior and careful design create a calm, premium experience that drives positive reviews and repeat bookings.

• Can I add my hotel branding or custom interior finishes?

Yes. We can incorporate your brand colors, custom furniture packages, and interior finishes to ensure Tiny D units align with your property's identity and guest experience standards.

• How energy-efficient is Tiny D?

Tiny D consumes significantly less energy in both construction and daily operation than a typical house of comparable comfort. High-quality wood-fiber insulation, natural materials, and efficient space planning reduce heating and cooling costs, lowering your environmental footprint and operating expenses — crucial for hospitality businesses where buildings often account for 40% of energy use.

• Is Tiny D truly sustainable?

Yes. Tiny D is built from renewable wood sourced from sustainably managed forests. Cross-laminated timber (CLT) construction is carbon-neutral and produces minimal waste thanks to precision manufacturing. The cabin's compact footprint, long lifespan, and energy efficiency align with ESG principles and support your property's sustainability goals.

• What is the environmental impact on the installation site?

Tiny D is designed for minimal site disturbance. Light foundations (ground screws or compact concrete pads) mean no deep excavation, reduced soil disruption, and the option to relocate the cabin in the future. This makes Tiny D ideal for sensitive natural areas, vineyards, and protected landscapes where you want to preserve the environment while adding accommodation capacity.

• What warranty does Brette Haus provide?

Brette Haus offers a 24-month warranty on all structural elements and finishing components. With proper care and maintenance, the lifespan of the cabin is 50+ years.

• Can you help with permits or documentation for my country?

We provide all necessary technical specifications, engineering drawings, and certifications to support your permit and regulatory applications. While we can't navigate local regulations on your behalf, our documentation package is designed to streamline the approval process.

• Do you offer support after installation?

Yes. If you have any maintenance requests, technical questions, or require support, our team is available at better@brette.haus. We're committed to ensuring your Tiny D units perform reliably and contribute to your business success.

• Can I visit a Tiny D installation before ordering?

We're happy to arrange site visits or virtual tours of existing Tiny D installations where possible. Contact our team to discuss viewing options in your region.
