In the US, the housing industry is responsible for five percent of the country’s greenhouse gas emissions, electricity excluded. One way that the sector could reduce its environmental impact is by encouraging people to adopt smaller, more sustainable homes — a movement that has gained increasing traction lately.

That was the line of thinking behind a recent collaboration between furniture giant IKEA, Vox Creative, and tiny home builder Escape, who teamed up to produce a tiny house on wheels that could inspire environmental- and climate-friendly housing shifts. As explained by IKEA, the goal of the project is to prove “that anyone, anywhere can live a more sustainable life.”

The tiny home consists of a 187-square-foot trailer unit filled with IKEA furniture, topped with roof solar panels, and equipped with an on-demand RV water heater. The entire thing runs on clean power and allows for off-the-grid living. It also emits zero pollution, with the only associated emissions coming from the trailer being towed.

Its modular design and pre-fabricated panels also make the manufacturing process significantly less wasteful than conventional on-site constructions. What’s more, the interior’s whitewashed panels are made from sustainably sourced wood while the kitchen cupboards are made from recycled plastic. The house also features a compostable toilet and a collapsible desk.

According to research, tiny homes are known to reduce energy consumption by about 45 percent and tend to encourage owners to adopt more sustainable behaviors such as growing their own crops, reducing consumption, and producing less waste.

“We built a sustainable tiny home from the ground up to better educate and inspire consumers to bring sustainability into their own lives,” IKEA said. The hope is for the project to “[generate] awareness of the tiny home and [illustrate] the big impact that small, daily decisions can make for a better, more sustainable world.”
