小房子，墨爾本Dolly車輪上的25㎡小家-設計風向

2013年，Dolly Rubiano在新西蘭看到一輛設計巧妙的房車時，她發現了自己對小空間的熱愛。在這之後，她在Airbnb上尋找可以出租的小房子，作為一種測試，看看她能把房子縮小到多大，同時還能過上充實的生活！Dolly解釋說：“小房子的生活對我來說很有意義，因為我喜歡簡單、沒有雜亂的生活。因為它是在輪子上，我可以把我的家帶到任何我想要的地方的想法吸引了我。我前世一定是隻烏龜！”

Dolly Rubiano discovered her love of tiny places when she saw a cleverly designed house-truck in New Zealand in 2013. Following this, she scoured AirBnB for tiny homes to rent, as a test run to see how small she could go, whilst still living a full life! Dolly explains ‘tiny house living made sense to me, because I like a simple, clutter-free life. And because it is on wheels, the idea that I can take my home anywhere I want appeals to me. I must have been a turtle in my previous life!’

Dolly首先用硬紙板製作了一個微型模型，然後聘請了設計公司Eco Tiny Homes在墨爾本的馬其頓山脈的一處地產上來實現她的夢想。那裏的團隊有建造老式公寓和房車的經驗，因此非常適合這個不尋常的項目！Dolly也渴望參與製作，所以卷起袖子，在現場加入了兩個星期。

After first creating a miniature model out of cardboard to play with the design, Dolly hired the company Designer Eco Tiny Homes to realise her dreams, on a property in Victoria’s Macedon Ranges. The team there had experience in building granny flats and tiny homes on wheels, so were perfect for the unusual project! Dolly was eager to be involved in the production and build, so rolled up her sleeves and joined in on site for two weeks.

這個小房子需要一個最小的生活方式：25平方米的建築麵積包括閣樓空間。Dolly強調說：“我做的第一件事就是縮小自己的舒適區。”雖然她在別處租了一個衣櫃大小的儲物空間來存放她仍然不忍心扔掉的東西，這是Marie Kondo（日本收納整理達人近藤麻理惠）肯定會讚同的生活方式！

At 25-square-metres in floor area – including the loft space – the tiny home has necessitated a minimal approach to living. Dolly highlights ‘the first thing I did was to downsize beyond my comfort zone.’ While she rents a wardrobe size storage space elsewhere for ‘the things I still don’t have the heart to discard’, this is a lifestyle Marie Kondo would surely approve of!

鑒於可用的空間很小，Dolly根據直覺進行裝飾，並反映出她自己的延伸。她解釋說，“因為我隻保留有用的，功能性的，能讓我快樂的東西，所以我感到更滿足、更沒有壓力。”

Given the tiny space available, Dolly has decorated based on gut feeling and to reflect an extension of herself. She explains ‘since I only keep what is useful, functional and makes me happy, I feel more content and stress-free.’

廚房是Dolly家中最喜歡的空間，設計為（相對！）寬敞。她也非常自豪地擁有第一個帶有步入式衣櫃的小房子，她強調這是可能的，因為她的身高:“個子矮的好處之一!”

The kitchen is Dolly’s favourite space in the home, and was designed to be (relatively!) spacious. She is also incredibly proud of having the first tiny-home on wheels with a walk-in wardrobe, which she highlights is possible because of her height: ‘one of the benefits of being short!’
