Vagabond Haven is known for its stylish tiny homes, and the Nature Pod takes this further with its features offered at a competitive price. Measuring 6 meters long, 2.3 meters wide, and 2.5 meters high, this tiny cabin on wheels stands out with its unique curved roof and large glass windows, making it an ideal escape into nature. The Nature Pod tiny house is fully customizable, and you can build it as per your own needs.
The tiny house features a unique construction that requires no traditional timber framing. Instead, it uses four inner wall segments to support an outer wall made from 45mm thick ThermoWood. It is Scandinavian pine heated to 180-230 degrees Celsius in special ovens using only heat and steam, without any chemicals. The steam helps prevent cracking, while low oxygen levels stop the wood from burning.
This heat treatment changes the wood’s cellular structure, making it much more resistant to rain, sun, and wind. As a result, the Nature Pod is eco-friendly, healthy, and far more durable than houses built with regular timber. This design reduces the amount of materials needed, which lowers the assembly time, overall weight, and cost of the tiny house.
The Nature Pod’s facade doesn’t need painting like untreated wood. It has two large fixed panorama windows in the bedroom, operable windows in the kitchen and bathroom, and a full glass entrance door. All windows and the door are custom-made from wood and double-glazed. The roof is covered with shingles that have a fiberglass mat base and a special bituminous coating to resist harsh weather.
The Nature Pod features a simple and efficient interior layout. It includes a fully equipped kitchen with space for a wardrobe or wood stove, and a queen-size bed positioned near two large bedroom windows that offer great views. On the opposite side, there is space for a bathroom with a shower, toilet, and sink, making the tiny house both functional and cozy.

Built on a platform of glulam beams, the Nature Pod can be easily loaded onto a trailer or truck for transport. It requires only a simple foundation of 12 concrete blocks for setup. Additionally, a custom-built trailer with fastening points can securely strap the Nature Pod in place so that you can tow it behind a car.
The Nature Pod comes with pre-installed electricity but no plumbing. You can customize the exterior and interior colors of the siding, roof, windows, and door. There are optional add-ons like furnishings, heating, extra insulation, a trailer, and off-grid solutions. If you wish to buy, the pricing for the Nature Pod tiny house starts from €14,380, about $16,600, and you have full freedom to customize it according to your particular needs for an additional cost.
