Kabinka 3.0: The beauty of rural living with a modern twist

The iconic project of Hello Wood takes a step forward with its third-generation design, setting a new benchmark in the world of tiny-homes. Building on their expertise in timber construction, CLT house design, and the development of the Kabinka series, they’ve introduced Kabinka 3.0—first brought to life as a holiday home in Balatonakarattya. This new model goes beyond being a one-room luxury glamping pod or a cosy lakeside retreat. It’s a year-round home designed to meet the needs of a family of up to four.

The exterior of the first Kabinka 3.0 reflects the traditional charm of the Balaton region while embracing sleek, modern design elements. The blend of white and light wood creates an elegant and timeless look. The house is strategically placed on the plot to preserve a large, uninterrupted green area for outdoor activities. Panoramic windows at both ends allow natural light to flood the interior, creating a bright and airy living space. The attached terrace is an ideal spot for chilling, chatting with friends, or enjoying a glass of Balaton’s finest wine on a warm summer evening.

A side entrance leads into a small entrance hall, connecting to the spacious living-dining area, the bedroom, and the bathroom. Compared to earlier versions, Kabinka 3.0 offers a larger, more comfortable bedroom, while the open-plan living-dining space serves as the heart of the home for family activities. The fully equipped kitchen makes this cabin perfectly suited not only for vacations but also for everyday living. The upper gallery provides a cosy nook, perfect for reading, relaxing, or as a play area for children.

“We wanted a vacation home for our Balaton property as quickly as possible, so we looked for an efficient solution. We chose Kabinka 3.0 because it was the largest model with fully customizable design options. The house we received, beautifully furnished and equipped right down to the smallest decorative detail, went beyond all our expectations.” — Dr Veronika Vér & Dr Gábor Ősze, Clients

Kabinka 3.0 isn’t just about good looks and comfort—it also features sustainable and energy-efficient solutions. It’s a forward-thinking design that captures the essence of rural charm while catering to the needs of modern living. More than just a holiday home, this cabin is an excellent choice for long-term living, effortlessly combining functionality, sustainability, and outstanding aesthetics.
