The vision of Le Corbusier and his iconic Cabanon serves as an important source of inspiration for Skelp. In this small, purified 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 “a machine for living” — a living space that demands no more than necessary, and precisely because of that, gains so much more meaning. That thought motivates us every day to continue building movable spaces with substance, regardless of their purpose.

The personal story of Hans, the creator and founder of Skelp, is seamlessly tied to this. For eight years, he has been living in his own Tiny Cabanon — a small, temporary solution that gradually grew into a deep passion for minimalist and conscious living. What started as a practical choice became a life philosophy and ultimately the breeding ground for a long series of projects in tiny housing, saunas, and movable living, working, and relaxation spaces.

This combination of philosophy and personal experience forms the heart of Skelp today: building on a human scale, with respect for space, calm, and simplicity — and with the belief that living smaller can feel grand.
