The boutique tiny house in harmony with nature.
The Tinca Cabin grew out of a very personal question asked by architect Katrin Schwarz: how can the closeness to nature of camping be combined with the comfort of a fully fledged house?
The result is a consistently high-quality boutique tiny house — designed by an architect, built to DWELLII standard.
Around 90 % of the Tinca Cabin is made of timber — from the KVH timber-panel structure to the thermally modified timber facade, which develops a natural silver patina over the years.
Consistently conceived along circular-economy (cradle-to-cradle) principles, separable by material type and designed for a service life of at least 50 years.

Two separate rooms, a fully fledged bathroom, an airy sleeping loft for children and a generous terrace — room for four to five people, without ever giving the impression that anything is missing.
Inside, natural three-layer spruce panelling creates a warm, healthy living atmosphere. Floor-to-ceiling aluminium sliding doors open the living space to the garden.
The bedroom can also be used as a workspace — calm, clear, framed in timber. The sleeping loft above the bathroom provides an additional children's bedroom. So everyone in the family has their own retreat.
Pivot roof windows with blackout blinds bring the starry sky into the room.
A fully fledged bathroom with a level-access, tiled shower element, HPL wall panels and water-saving chrome fittings.
Electric underfloor heating, an 80-litre hot-water boiler, mechanical extract ventilation with a humidity sensor and PV pre-fitting are included ex works.
The Tinca Cabin is series-produced, delivered by truck and lifted by crane onto the strip or point foundation. On-site assembly: one to two days. Delivery time: 20–24 weeks from building permit.

Katrin Schwarz is an architect, an entrepreneur and one of the most compelling voices for sustainable building in Germany. Her years of expertise in architecture, property development and sustainable construction were the perfect foundation for developing the Tinca Cabin — a product that is not just beautiful, but genuinely well thought through.
The idea for the Tinca Cabin came from a personal search: how do you create a place that combines the closeness to nature of camping with the comfort of a fully fledged house? The result is a 100 % authentic product – not a compromise, not a mass-market item, but a house with conviction.
Developed consistently along circular-economy (cradle-to-cradle) principles: around 90 % of the building materials are timber, a renewable resource, separable by material type and recyclable. Series production minimises material waste and ensures consistently high quality.
"Modular construction will massively reduce the amount of waste in the building industry."
— Katrin Schwarz in an interview with Futurewoman
When you buy a Tinca Cabin by DWELLII, you are not just investing in square metres — but in a house designed by an architect with exacting standards.
Our show home stands at the Eigenheim & Garten show-home park in Bad Vilbel near Frankfurt, with around 65 furnished houses. There you can see the TR3M fully furnished: construction, materials and interior fit-out, as built.
