WOHNWAGON – independent & natural living

How much space do you actually need to live? We came to the conclusion: 25 m2 of natural living space that offer a unique living experience with refined materials and individual solutions - That's it. That’s all you need.

That’s why we created WOHNWAGON - individualized, mobile space for outdoor living. We work with natural and recycled materials. Independent. Reduced. Holistic. The goal is autarky: The wagon has its own photovoltaic and solar system on the roof, a BIO-toilet and water treatment system with a green filter and therefore allows independent living: a closed, innovative lifecycle. With our solutions we combine intelligent ways of energy production with sustainable resource-use and recycling. Technically, we are always trying to be one step ahead. We are constantly looking for the latest developments and are cooperating with universities and research institutes to keep up to date.

What’s special about WOHNWAGON is the individual production. Each wagon is different and adapted to its buyers needs. How self-sustained do you want to be? How do you want to use your wagon and what for? Do you want to use it as living space, office, hotel room or holiday home? We’ll find the perfect solution for you.

Our company was founded in 2013 and is based in Vienna. We financed the production of our prototype through the first successful Crowd investing campaign in Austria. Meanwhile we have produced our sixth and seventh wagon. On a long-term basis we want to be the first address when it comes to questions about independent, self-sustained living. Therefore we have created an online platform with video tutorials, a web shop and product explanations, which try to answer the questions about how an independent life could look like.

Do It! Ass Kicking - Workshop

basic workshop

How do I realize "my project"? Which tools and materials do I need? How do I start? Content: Design & planning of craft projects, little push: dare you!, basics of the craft (E.g. material science, wood processing, grinding, glazing, mosaic, sculpting...).

The point is, that you get to know the DIY-World with small and easy projects. In our Atelier we have materials to build small furniture like a stool, a chair, a small box and a shelf. The jig saw and the cordless screwdriver will then be your best friends. The basics of woodworking!

Small Room - Big Task

Experience exchange and tips for your project!

You thought about building a construction trailer, a tiny house or a yurt by yourself but you don't know how to start? What size is the right one?

You will learn the basics: How do I conceive such a project? How do I plan a room that fits to me? Building physics, energy systems, the material - what tips are there?

And of course, we are answering your questions.

Small Room - Big Task & Legal Advise!

Do you have questions about the building law?

Am I allowed to place my construction trailer, yurt or tiny house everywhere I want, to live in it? What do I need to consider from a legal perspective?

In this workshop you'll get tips and tricks for the Austrian building and planning law. With practical examples, we will show you how innovative concepts such as the WOHNWAGON can be implemented.

You will learn the basics: What dedications are there? What laws must be considered? How can I realize my project to be on the safe side?
