Shelter in Motion.
The vision of Le Corbusier and his iconic Cabanon serves as an important source of inspiration for Skelp. In this small, refined dwelling, he demonstrated how living can be reduced to its essence: a thoughtful, human space that functions perfectly within a minimal volume. He described it himself as “une machine à habiter” — a living space that asks for no more than is necessary, but precisely because of that gains so much more meaning. This thought motivates us every day to continue building portable spaces with substance, regardless of their function. The personal story of Hans, the creator and founder of Skelp, aligns seamlessly with this. For eight years, he has lived in his own Tiny Cabanon — a small, temporary solution that gradually grew into a deep passion for minimalist and conscious living. What began as a practical choice became a life philosophy and ultimately the fertile ground for a long series of projects in tiny housing, saunas, and portable living, working, and relaxation spaces. This combination of philosophy and personal experience today forms the heart of Skelp: building on a human scale, with respect for space, tranquility, and simplicity — and with the conviction that living smaller can feel great.
