Concept · Light steel and tiny house builder

Steelnest

Rotate a tiny house model, look inside its six-layer wall, and configure price, weight and delivery time live.

What we did

Tiny house buyers worry about towing weight, insulation and the final price, and most sites answer with photos. We tested a site where every option shows its effect on price, weight and the legal trailer limit.

The big idea

A configurator with a weight limit

Choose a model, insulation, solar package, interior and heating, and the price, weight and production time update. A bar shows how close the build is to the 3,500 kg trailer limit.

01

360° model viewer

Drag to rotate three models and switch between frame, floor plan, dimensions and labels.

02

Wall anatomy

Six numbered layers, from the outer cladding to the interior plywood, each with its thickness and job.

03

Price in three currencies

The configurator total can be shown in lira, dollars or euros.

04

Comparison table

Light steel is compared with concrete and timber frame on build time, insulation, fire class and weight.

How we did it

Step by step.

  1. 01

    A model you can turn

    Three models are drawn to real dimensions and turn as you drag. Buttons show the frame, the floor plan, the measurements and the labels, and four materials can be brought to the front.

  2. 02

    Opening up the wall

    The wall section is split into six numbered layers, from the thermo-wood cladding to the birch plywood inside. Each layer opens to show its thickness and what it does.

  3. 03

    Rooms before numbers

    Before the price, three stacked cards show the inside: the loft with its gallery void, the sliding glass front and the terrace.

  4. 04

    Price and weight in one place

    The calculator has five steps. Every choice updates the price, the weight and the production days together; once the weight passes 3,500 kg, the note says the house can only travel by road with a special permit.

  5. 05

    A plain comparison

    A table sets light steel against reinforced concrete and timber frame on six criteria, from build time to recyclability.

Why we did it this way

Whether the house can go on the road depends on its weight.

Weight

TypicalThe weight of a portable house is often given only when someone asks.

HereEach choice changes the weight along with the price, and the note changes when the road limit is passed.

Insulation

TypicalInsulation is usually summed up in a single word like "high".

HereThe wall opens layer by layer, with the thickness and job of each one written out.

The house itself

TypicalThe house is mostly shown in photos taken from outside.

HereThe model turns as you drag, and the frame, floor plan and measurements can be switched on.
