French tiny house company Baluchon is taking us to Morroco with their newest tiny home. Named Majorelle, after the blue Majorelle color featured throughout, it’s a beautifully striking house on wheels created for its new owner, Leila.
Majorelle is a red cedar-clad tiny house on a six-metre trailer. It stands out with spruce wood and solid oak flooring and natural and white raw spruce interior paneling.
It boasts a gorgeous blue and yellow kitchen reminiscent of Morocco with ‘Zellige’ handmade mosaic tilework. Leila also has everything she needs for year-round living, including a generous kitchen, dining, and living space, a loft bedroom, and a bathroom with a shower and dry toilet.
Baluchon hasn’t shared the price online, but their homes typically sell for €85,000 to €100,000 (around $94,600 to $111,300).
Majorelle is a Moroccon-inspired tiny house by the French tiny house company Baluchon. Built for its new owner Leila, it sits on a six-meter trailer with spruce wood, red cedar cladding, and an aluminum standing seam panel roof.
The tiny house showcases a blend of wood and aluminum for its window and door frames, complemented by double glazing to enhance both insulation and comfort.
The vibrant kitchen gives insight into why this tiny home is named Majorelle. Majorelle is an intense and fresh shade of blue that French artist Jacques Majorelle created when creating his artwork, the Majorelle Garden in Morrocco.
The Majorelle-coloured cabinetry in this tiny home’s kitchen is beautifully unique. The kitchen sits adjacent to the main entrance with a well-placed bench, coat rack, and a large wardrobe for removing and storing your shoes and coats.
The kitchen makes up most of the ground floor. It’s conveniently spacious for the owner to cook up a storm and entertain. There are many helpful appliances in this space, including a De Dietrich electric water heater, an electric oven, a gas cooktop, and a refrigerator. There is also plenty of storage space for pantry goods.
The Moroccan-inspired Majorelle blue coloring is found on various furnishing pieces throughout this tiny home. It adds a nice and fresh burst of color against the raw spruce wood.
The kitchen includes a versatile breakfast bar that also serves as a spacious countertop.
The kitchen is a fun and vibrant place to be. Not only is it light and bright with a large window and light spruce materials, but it also boasts a ‘zellige’ in the kitchen splashback. This refers to the handmade mosaic tilework traditionally made in Morocco.
The triple-layer varnished spruce and oiled solid oak flooring blend in well with the rest of the light, natural materials while also being designed to handle daily wear and tear. This tiny home has also been insulated in the floors, walls, and ceiling with hemp, cotton, and linen for year-round comfort.
Despite being in the loft, the bedroom above the main living area is deceivingly spacious. The two windows on each side deliver a glorious cross-breeze during summer. There is also a gorgeous Majorelle blue feature storage unit functioning as the head of the bed.
The bedroom overlooks the living space, complete with its wood stove and a sofa/guest bed.
The sofa, positioned against a striking yellow accent wall, features built-in storage for added functionality. A large window floods the space with natural light, while corner shelves and a spacious shelf above the window provide additional storage, maximizing every inch of the room.
Baluchon strategically placed the wood stove at the heart of the tiny house, ensuring efficient heating throughout the space during the winter months.
The bathroom near the kitchen has a dry toilet with a stainless-steel bucket and shavings compartment. It’s designed to tie in with the rest of the tiny home with the same spruce and solid oak materials. Even the yellow is a subtle connection to the rest of the house.
The bathroom is home to a standard 80cm x 80cm shower, which is more than spacious enough for most people.
