小房子，墨尔本Dolly车轮上的25㎡小家

2013年，Dolly Rubiano在新西兰看到一辆设计巧妙的房车时，她发现了自己对小空间的热爱。在这之后，她在Airbnb上寻找可以出租的小房子，作为一种测试，看看她能把房子缩小到多大，同时还能过上充实的生活！Dolly解释说：“小房子的生活对我来说很有意义，因为我喜欢简单、没有杂乱的生活。因为它是在轮子上，我可以把我的家带到任何我想要的地方的想法吸引了我。我前世一定是只乌龟！”

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首先用硬纸板制作了一个微型模型，然后聘请了设计公司Eco Tiny Homes在墨尔本的马其顿山脉的一处地产上来实现她的梦想。那里的团队有建造老式公寓和房车的经验，因此非常适合这个不寻常的项目！Dolly也渴望参与制作，所以卷起袖子，在现场加入了两个星期。

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.

这个小房子需要一个最小的生活方式：25平方米的建筑面积包括阁楼空间。Dolly强调说：“我做的第一件事就是缩小自己的舒适区。”虽然她在别处租了一个衣柜大小的储物空间来存放她仍然不忍心扔掉的东西，这是Marie Kondo（日本收纳整理达人近藤麻理惠）肯定会赞同的生活方式！

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!

鉴于可用的空间很小，Dolly根据直觉进行装饰，并反映出她自己的延伸。她解释说，“因为我只保留有用的，功能性的，能让我快乐的东西，所以我感到更满足、更没有压力。”

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.’

厨房是Dolly家中最喜欢的空间，设计为（相对！）宽敞。她也非常自豪地拥有第一个带有步入式衣柜的小房子，她强调这是可能的，因为她的身高:“个子矮的好处之一!”

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!’
