Case study: Piil, a Tiny House redefining nature getaways with the Grad® system
Piil, short for the Estonian word “piiluma”, meaning “to look”, is a unique retreat that adds a new dimension to nature getaways. Designed to blend in with its surroundings, this compact retreat of just 19 m² offers a breathtaking view thanks to its clever design, conceived to blend harmoniously among the trees.
Solutions implemented
- Thermopine cladding: This natural, durable material gives the Tiny House a warm, rustic aesthetic, while blending in perfectly with the forest environment.
- Decking in Thermoash: The decking extends the outdoor living space, allowing occupants to connect fully with nature, while benefiting from exceptional weather resistance.
- Start Rail Grad® system: Used for both cladding and decking, this innovative system enables fast, precise installation, providing a neat finish with no visible screws. The process also simplifies maintenance, ensuring optimum durability.
Particularités du projet
- Compact, functional design: despite its small size, Piil maximizes the use of indoor and outdoor space to create a place that’s both practical and comfortable.
- Panoramic view: A large bay window invites in natural light and offers a direct visual connection with the environment, reinforcing the idea of escape and serenity.
Results
- Harmony with nature: The choice of materials and colors ensures perfect integration with the surrounding forest.
- Optimized comfort: the Grad® system’s simple, efficient assembly guarantees an experience without compromising on quality or aesthetics.
- Minimal impact: Thanks to its small footprint and the use of sustainable solutions, Piil preserves the local ecosystem while offering an exceptional refuge.
Conclusion
Piil embodies the perfect blend of design, technology and nature. Thanks to the Grad® system, this project demonstrates how to combine innovation, sustainability and aesthetics in compact yet remarkably well-thought-out living spaces.
