The One-Bedroom Hugo Blends Sophisticated Style With Homey Comfort

The Hugo house is tiny and designed to be easily transportable, yet it doesn't feel like a classic house on wheels. It boasts the fresh, inviting atmosphere of a luxury resort and the homely, warm spirit of a family mansion. Like most prefab tiny homes, it offers the ultimate advantage of extra length, a luminous and airy layout, and a perfect main-floor bedroom. These features are enough to ramp up comfort levels and elevate the overall style.

The Hugo tiny comes with just one bedroom, but it's just as long as the Premium Portables models with two or even three bedrooms. It's ten meters long (32.8 feet) and 3.6 meters wide (11.8 feet), which brings its total floor space to 36 square meters (387.5 square feet). This is much more than what you'd expect with a typical one-bedroom tiny house, and it's maximized through the single-level configuration with a modern, open-plan layout.

The only separate rooms in this generously sized house are the bedroom and the bathroom. The rest of the space becomes an open multi-functional area with a contemporary, informal vibe. Another key element in this sophisticated configuration is the enormous exterior deck.

While the Hugo house is limited in terms of accommodation because it only has one bedroom, it's extra-generous when it comes to outdoor entertainment. The oversized deck is big enough for multiple dining and lounging setups in the open air. Those who intend to operate the Hugo as a vacation rental can even add a fancy outdoor bathtub – one of the most popular amenities for Airbnb-type locations.

This extensive deck is a perfect match to the home's modern design with ample glazing. Sliding glass doors are an intrinsic part of New Zealand- and Australian-style tiny home designs. They're all about opening up to the world and connecting with their natural surroundings. They are the dream homes of folks who want to feel as though they're outdoors even when they're enjoying the privacy of their own home. The oversized glass doors blur the line between the inside and the outside and create an extension of the overall living area without actually requiring additional space.

Another benefit of adding an oversized deck such as this one is that it creates a private outdoor haven for the bedroom. The home's main bedroom comes with its own separate entrance that leads straight onto the beautiful deck. It's one of the most luxurious features you could add to a transportable home that doesn't break the bank. Instead of just using windows to bring in light and offer pleasant views, this bedroom sports a direct connection to the outdoors – it's almost as if it has an exterior extension that could be easily accessed at all times.

The bedroom itself is large enough to include a comfortable double bed and a large wardrobe that takes up the entire side wall. As a main-floor bedroom, it ensures easy access for those who can't or don’t want to bother with loft staircases and ladders, and it's also wonderfully private – something that tiny house lofts can lack.

The bathroom is another part of the house that screams opulence. It's more than a spacious walk-through bathroom, and that's because it doubles as a practical laundry room with a dedicated spot for a full-size washing machine. It also sports an extra-large window, and it's equipped with a full-size shower cabin and a conventional toilet. Ample storage is provided without interfering with the overall clean, contemporary aesthetic that reminds us of a high-end spa.

Three oversized windows keep the center of the house bathed in natural light. The layout blends a large kitchen and a cozy lounge area harmoniously. There are two configurations available, each sporting a different kitchen setup.

Future owners can choose between a smaller, more compact L-shaped kitchen with extra room for a separate breakfast bar and a classic-style kitchen with an integrated island. Either way, the high-quality furniture and abundant storage solutions add supreme functionality. This extra-spacious kitchen will make you forget this is a prefab house on wheels (or skids).

One of the best things about this type of open-plan layout is that it allows for an elegant, generous dining setup. There are numerous possibilities depending on the owners' preferences and lifestyle. This particular layout is also ideal for enjoying summer parties and BBQs with lots of guests. The cozy lounge area with a large sofa and a wall-mounted TV is seamlessly connected to this entire central area of the house, which also makes it seem more spacious.

The basic kitchen and bathroom appliances are part of Hugo’s standard inclusions, as well as a 4 kW heat pump, an electric on-demand water heater, LED lights, and double powerpoints. An in-house designer is also there to help customers choose the color scheme and all the fittings at no additional costs.

Premium Portables is a New Zealand-based builder that focuses on mobility as well as certified quality. The Hugo transportable home is built in compliance with the domestic building code regulations, and it’s designed to ensure the full comfort of a permanent residence while also enjoying the benefits of mobility and affordable costs. And, with a stylish home like that, it’s like being on vacation all the time.
