While Falck built most of the tiny home himself, he hired a local carpenter to build the window frame and door.

The window looks out to views across the lake, while also bringing in sunlight to help brighten the interiors.

A look at the Nido cabin floor plan.

Sticking with the essentials and eliminating all unnecessary elements, Falck created a floor plan that includes a lower level and a sleeping loft. The loft has just enough room for a bed and storage for his clothes.

On the lower level is the living lounge where Falck can relax and look out at nature through a massive window that is spread across the two floors.

Above the living lounge, the 50-square-foot loft faces a window that frames striking views of the tree canopies.

Adjacent to the cabin is a spacious deck that is raised above the ground on wooden stilts.

A young Finnish designer bypasses building permits by creating an affordable tiny home under 100 square feet.

Set on a wild 50-acre property, the Etno Hut is located within easy access from two major Lithuanian cities, Vilnius and Kaunas.
