Sliding home enlarges with railed-walls, underfloor bed & tub reveal

- Caspar Schols built his first shapeshifting house in his mother’s backyard as her writing cabin that, by sliding a room-on-rails, could convert into a place to sleep under the stars.
He has since perfected his expandable home with 10 prototypes: his most recent model is robust enough to serve as a primary residence and has a bathtub and guest bed hidden in the floor.
[Watch the original video in which Caspar Schols shows us the 1st. prototype shed built for his mother: • Mechanical cottage mov... ]
The house can be opened up - on sunny days, for nature-watching, or just to sleep directly under the stars - with just a push. The entire walls and ceiling of the house move, but anyone can propel this 3,000 kilograms (over 6000 pounds) room-on-rails because Schols created a system that is “super low friction”.
To create a well-insulated home that has walls that move, Schols and his team designed the rails with wind labyrinths to trap the air and added brushes to any moving surface to prevent airflow.

This concept would be great as an extension of a house, with an indoor/outdoor patio lounge and kitchen. I would keep half the house fixed instead, including a bedroom and bathroom you wouldn't have to fiddle with every day.
Also, this might work great for an indoor/outdoor swimming pool that you could use year round, even in cold places like Canada, where you still get a lot of sunlight in winter! You could heat the pool in winter with a wooden stove.
Yes I like the pool idea, I was thinking atrium with waterfall - open and close the greenhouse.
This is a brilliant concept, plain and simple; its potential for adaptability doesn't hurt either. Thank you for sharing, Kirsten!
My thoughts as well.
Yeah except bugs
Wow. Never thought such a thing could be possible. I've owned convertible cars at a few points in my life, but now: I must have a convertible home.
Great way to describe it. Might need to rework the title :)
Year after year, you continue to put out amazing content. Thank you.
Your videos are produced so well. Each post is basically a documentary.
Thank you. I feel really luck there are so many great stories out there and people willing to tell them. Sometimes it feels a bit surreal that people can be so creative with their homes. Thanks for watching/commenting.
Wow! MANY improvements since that first prototype on his Mom's property. I LOVE that it's air sealed now and the glass has double panes. The attention to detail in making it more weather tight, well insulated and with a kitchen, bathroom, not water and power is fantastic! I also notice he's added even a pocket for the glass section to mate into the stationary piece with for air sealing. I really love the original, but having both ends move didn't allow for the kitchen and bathroom. Pretty brilliant. Nice to know he's developing a kit that can be flat packed and shipped, though I'm sure it would be extremely expensive (from our perspective). Anyway, love this one even more than the first!
I would make it a free standing kitchen on one deck, which can be covered just by the glass, or the body section, or opened up. So the door on that side would have to be some kind of larger bi-folding doors.
Is it a different house it just a better one ie is the other one out the back?
@@lucypeace6132haha I agree. I think I said that too. But a glas extension since it is holland
This concept would be very good for wedding chapels in the woods- so that you can be outdoors, but if it starts raining, or the sun becomes too hot, you just switch things up - while the wedding ceremony is going on uninterrupted.
The bed-under-floor idea is something I've been thinking about for the past couple years. It's great to see someone doing it!
I love when you revisit designs. I can't believe the previous video is from four years ago. The design has been in my mind ever since.
I agree. Time has flown. It was actually 5 years ago. I only recognize the passing of so much time because my youngest still needed to be looked after. Things are easier now :)
@@kirstendirksenlive your content Kirsten. Always have. I would love to see you make a video about your favorite houses you’ve seen over the years…and why. You’ve seen so much cool stuff. Thank you!
Oh thanks for pointing that out! I was sure I’d seen this before but was sure things were different 🙏
This dude is SMART. I would love to stay in this cabin.
Wow! That retracting brush at 19:30 is MAD engineering! Fantastic
Love this design. I like the builder's thinking process in the design. You are really in nature when the structure slides apart. Awesome.
I get the notion, I really do. However imo it exudes flatulent novelty and is lackluster in reality. Longevity issues, leaks, track problems etc.. No doubt, any settling would screw up the whole thing. Not to mention earthquakes.
And mainly, if you want to be outside, go outside. If you want a bathtub outside, great. This is why decks and patios exist. This is just a waste of materials, time and energy.
@@newolde1 Definitely a lot to consider! I never thought about settling of the structure. Yeah, it would make it obsolete in its design.
This type of house is fantastic! I’m forever trying to adjust windows, shades, airflow, etc. throughout my northern four seasons home, morning, noon and night. It is always different, depending on the day the temperature the light the time of day. This home allows so many possibilities. I like to spend all my time outdoors. This makes it so much more possible. This type of an arrangement would work well on a greenhouse too. Why shouldn’t we, and plants, have perfect environment?😊
Caspar is undoubtedly one of the most talented of new architect generation!
This builder is amazing. Not only is the amount of design details a great accomplishment in itself, but the way he combines the house with awareness, japanese tradition, with neuroscience, the brain-to-body connection, with our need to connect with nature, (that most of us unfortunately has forgotten!) - well, all that is beyond what I have ever seen on your channel.
It just makes SENSE to think and build this way - and I wish more people did.
Your best video. Ever.
Thank you so much 🙏
This is pure genius, even the afterthought on design modifications, and I love the adaptability of the spaces created. I hope this wins awards, fantastic!
lost it when he said we have depression because we don't get tree signals because of the walls
I absolutely love this design. Everything is so precision made. Love the philosophy of each thing being like a ritual.
I thought that the original design was genius when the episode aired in 2018. Having had the pleasure of viewing many subsequent episodes, each amazing in their own right, these lastest _Anna_ designs are next level. All I have to say is, "Take. My. Money."
Thanks, as always, for the wonderful content that you create and share. You and it are an incredible gift.
I was actually searching the comments hoping to learn the cost?
You are so fortunate to live like this; being in nature is so healing.
This is how I want to live. I am working towards this lifestyle. Love it!
@@tp1201 Yes, me too.
1:42 ya its a nice view. But that's what a dock is for or a nice yard with nice comfy chairs. I don't wanna watch the lake from my bed while mosquitoes attack me lol
Loved watching the first video from his mother's property. Great to hear more about the project. I really really appreciate the considerations to this cabin concept.
Been following this channel for over 10 years. Content is fantastic as usual.
Love seeing the connection with videos made in the past. It's a followup but feels like new content every time.
Complexity and expense that can just be replaced by having an outdoor lounging area...
It is an interesting concept, the only thing I always think with those integrated solutions in acting house like the moving bed or walls, is the hassle of moving the stuff every time you need to reconfigure the space
I think the idea is to either leave the bed out (if you decide to make that your main bed in a loft type space) or leave it in the floor (if you'd prefer a big table and to have your bed up in the loft) and really only change that default setup for bigger events.
@@kirstendirksen I agree, the loft as sleeping space makes sense as a single or couple. It makes a lovely treat, to be able to sleep underneath the stars & could really reignite interest in any intimate relationship. That’s one matter I find fascinating
I think it’s beautiful but also that the novelty would wear out pretty fast.
Also, what kind of maintenance does he expect will be necessary to keep those moving walls “super low friction.” There’s a lot of crap floating in the air.
How would you keep it warm?
@@tp1201 Have you watched the entire video? It explains quite well I would think.
@@MarkTheMaker wood and glass.
Don't think so.
@@tp1201 Perhaps I don't read your comments right. But you asked how this house is heated. It contains a wood stove that is being used both for heating the space, as well as heating water for the kitchen, shower and bath.
They also explain how the whole place is actually quite airtight, even though you would expect air to be able to run through where the wheels of the sliding parts run on the rails. Same goes for the door with the dropping brush in order to stop the wind from blowing inside.
@@MarkTheMaker yes, I did see the wooden stove, but I'm sure it would still be cold inside. No Insulation! Well not enough insulation for me. I would need some heated floors as well. Or live in a warm climate area.
Intelligent, natural, humanmorphic design and functionality. This is the true house of the future----luddites rejoice!
Nice build. I wonder/hope the tracks hold up over time.
If similar to railroad car wheels there is very minimal contact to rails and the wheels seat themselves optimally.
This is fantastic, I would use one in Australia - so cleaver, so environmental, so Scandinavian, so great… thank you always for your videos.
Would love to have something like this as a simple office space / dance studio!
Taking it to a whole new level, instead of a sliding glass door, he's got a sliding house. An open-air house, there must not be much of a mosquito problem, it wouldn't be feasible to have a house like that in Alaska, you'd be Bitten to a pulp. Nice vid, take care and travel on !!
There are plenty of mosquitoes there so I also wonder how he deals with that. I guess he closes it in the evening.
@@kristofp72 That is a very good point that I didn't think of. He even said that he has a mosquito screen in the upstairs bedroom.
Love those energetic Dutch! Pretty amazing design! I think this person is going to create many great housing options over his career!He is a real high baller but all in the pursuit of slowing down! Thanks Kirsten for another great video!
It would take some sort of special property in the United States for this house. Large predators, cougars, bears, wolves, alligators, boa constrictors, moose, wolverines, etc, would be a concern to sleep out in the open like that. Let alone bad people.
This is the most thoughtful home I've ever seen. I love that he keeps improving on the design with iterations over time.
It is joy-giving to watch the enthusiasm of the architect describing their "journey of invention" where sometimes the littlest things (wind-brush with bicycle-brake-like lever-actuation) demonstrate attention to detail, and patient thought.
Seems like since the diver wall pulls with the glass layer you'd have to make sure the entire end room is empty before moving it?
Inner shell, no contact with moving walls.
Kirsten, I love your videos showing folks who rehabilitate old farms and the like. They are not adding something where there was nothing before. I dislike promotion of this type of construction-a brand new, high-end toy in a pristine area; bragging rights for the ultra-wealthy; expanses of glass that kill birds with no mitigation for that in sight. That’s just very uncool. To me this is a “concept house” that would have better stayed on paper. The impracticality of huge expanses of glass that slide in and out of sight is evident by the designer’s embarrassment while trying to explain the “connection to nature” as being aware that it’s about to rain and that you need to urgently slide the glass back into its protective wall or face a huge cleaning job. It will be difficult to keep it clean of bird droppings in general and leaves sticking to it after a storm (tho this debris will help protect flying birds!). For bird mitigation he should consider a product like 3M “Feather Friendly” exterior film or one of the other “Feather Friendly” products. I wish this would be a requirement for every home you film-otherwise no promotion on your channel. Or at least I’d urge you to challenge the builder/homeowner on that question. Mitigation should be done on every home that has expanses of glass or worse, outright mirrored exterior walls (I think you showed one in Spain?). It’s not just my opinion-over 100 million birds are killed in this way every year in the US alone, and knowing North American bird populations have dropped by about a third in our lifetime, I think we need to stop promoting unprotected glass walls that allow humans to “connect with nature.” It’s like flying to some far corner of the earth to birdwatch while dumping tons of CO2 into the air to get there-there’s a glaring disconnect here, why doesn’t everybody see this? Thank you for the opportunity to comment.
Thanks for taking the time to write. I would say while I agree I love the stories of old farms and more hand-crafted stuff. I also like doing stories with people who are trying to look at some of our preconceived ideas around what is a house. And while sometimes these people have plenty of resources to do this with a bigger budget, I also think these projects often inspire those more DIY makers who then can innovate on those ideas with a smaller budget. I know that more and more builders are using glass coatings that only birds can detect. As far as cost goes, I do think that this home could be a better alternative than a massive home that many with large budgets choose. Caspar also talked about how it can be disassembled and reassembled easily since they don't use glues, so it's quite light on the land in that respect.
@@kirstendirksen Thank you for taking the time to respond. Best, E2W
Very rarely see anything so brilliant and profoundly original!
At 25:50 I thought they had the bed in a separate room on the opposite end of the house giving you a bedroom but it was just the way the shot was angled but I think that’s a much better design.
With so many people wanting a bedroom on the first floor I think it would be better to have a divider wall with door on the one wooden side the one without the kitchen bathroom as a bedroom with a wall and door, kinda the way it looks at 25:50 with of course the bed in there not in the middle of the house.
I just think it’s more practical to have a closed off bedroom, unless you are younger and don’t mind sleeping in the loft, though I’d love the loft if they can somehow make some tall stairs going up to the sleeping loft. You probably could, going down beside and or over the fireplace. it just might be seen through the glass but I think it would look cool if you could build metal and wood floating Stairs making it almost look like art :)
I wonder if this kind of build works best for one person living alone, or a couple, and likely in a more remote place where you wouldn't worry as much about privacy. Though I like your idea of art stairs.
I love your documentaries. I can always tell when you make them Kirsten, such a gift to present these important topics through the speaker's lens but more importantly with your lens.
Beautiful design. I’d like screens integrated as well. So thoughtful
Cozy shower...embraced by the wood...IOW cramped...that guy is a born salesman.
This is great! I hope they get their patent! I hope they come out with even more ingenious designs and combinations!
It looks like an excellent proof of concept project. It offers so much more than walled confinement. I would opt for this type of design in that setting and others as well. It is a little fidgety, but that's part of its charm.
I would love to take a bath there! Freaking awesome! This is a gorgeous home! It's more than I need but, I would make an exception for this amazing, beautiful place!
I would love to add the glass pull-out section to the back of my Florida townhouse! And I'd change the tub to a four-person hot tub!💖👍
In that case you're better off putting the tub outside, otherwise you have a huge vapor source in the house. Mold city.
That's an interesting idea to add something like this as a home extension.
@@kirstendirksen I think this young man has stumbled onto a potential global solution for homeowners with limited space and should start a business!
Love it, it's perfect. One for each adult child and parent. I'd need five with this location, of course. I do recall seeing the film about the first one, hence why at first I thought "wait a minute this looks familiar" and yes Casper, with each building your ideas have enhanced the experience. Thank you
Love this. So creative. Like Kundig, the space is mutatable and alive. Love the hardware and finish.
Whereupon vision is a heightened noticing, and is a continual & living process.
Hats off to our architect friend for not settling for 'done' 👏
Wow. What a space. What a creator. Just wow.
I love it! Living in this cabin would be a lot of fun!
what problem does this actually solve ? just seems like an endless chore
Wooow some people are so creative but unfortunately for me I could never come up with these amazing designs ❤
I have seen this before but SO WORTH revisiting this genius home. I would love this in Costa Rica, and when I am traveling, I can literally close up/secure the home.
Crazy Dutchies 😉.
Thanks voor the video and stay safe✌️.
I just discovered your channel Kirsten. I'm loving it. This is a brilliant cabin design. I highly RoccoMend this channel and this video.
I was born nearby the Biesbosch natural water resevoir in the city of Breda , outstanding architectual masterpiece , i hope many more houses like this one will be build .
This is so awesome! Great concept. I would love to see an episode of a person who bought and lives in a “cottage” like this.
This feels to me like a Senior Architectural Thesis project (in the best sense),......that was refined & taken through the real world manufacturing process. The appealing & important aspect of your architectural design is that it has retained the essential idea of the original concept. That's why it communicates a vibrant & original quality.
I love the way all the small details have been worked out. Those houses may come at a higher price tag compared to same size standard houses, but the extra money is worth it for someone who lives in the great outdoors, and someone who wants to maximize the use of internal space instead of just building big. Your bonus is more space for your vegetable garden or just plain nature.
I love it! To bad you will never be able to by one, or live in one. Rules and Regulations and jealous neighbors will for ever push us into dead concrete boxes.
His training in physics seems to inform and compliment his excellent designs! I was wondering though about the concern for flooding over this upland he built on in what looks like a wetland environment? Thanks Kirsten for another great video!
What an amazing home. So calming and serene. The wood is really gorgeous too
I wonder since they are close to the lake if there are any issues with mosquitoes or other insects. Here in FL you would NOT be able sleep too well, wondering what's gonna be crawling on you or eating you up, breakfast lunch and dinner, if you were open air like that. Heck, even in a well sealed house there can be issues with fire ants, regular ants, the Itty bitty sugar ants, spiders, flues, cockroaches, palmettobugs, & mosquitoes. just to name a few. There also can be the occasional lizard, which I don't mind cause they eat the others.
i hope they make a model with a larger and more traditional housing unit add on. like maybe an extra 10-15 feet of depth with a full sized staircase, a taller bed loft, space for at least a 3/4 size fridge and a desk area for a computer. i wouldnt personally use that bed for anything but guests.
"limited expirence" , "living in between dead stuff" ...i guess a bear can make it more lively
Initially I didn't think this made much sense...having watched and listened, I want one!😂🙏💙
House on wheels? More like weekend chill-outs on steroids 😂 what a lovely concept and top-notched execution.
What an astonishing project! I am based in the UK and really impressed and enlightened by your achievements! A pipe dream perhaps, but I would love to see more of these natural buildings built here! Thank you both for sharing your yourney❤
i grew up watching your videos and that's why I am learning architecture
this and what you have done is absolutely amazing and the way for the future you are paving the way for the future. I just love what you have done the kitchen everything I can't even talk about how much you've done everything you've done is amazing I am wondering about cost how much to do some thing the final product you're showing is worse. Thank you so much for being a great mind and Pioneer and housing for the future and natural living to bring us back home to nature.
Imagine a street of these - plus shops - plus some kind of fun-park and pathways using the same concepts.
Surely this the next energy/spirit step for society.
This is the most amazing house! Thank you for presenting it. 🤩
Very interesting design. Perhaps as a dacha or getaway bungalow, it would be quite perfect. The clutter of notmal, everyday life would be unsuitable for such a home, but as a space to escape that clutter it would be magical.
Now that is the perfect home tiny home! I love it.
wow now that is amazing smart innovative and with nature thank you Kirsten for the tour more homes should be built in this manner so unique
Been fascinated with Cabin Anna for some time.
Unearthly brilliance. Very very clever. 10/10 would live there if financially feasible.
Fabulous cabin, so very clever on many levels. Beautiful, mimimal , flexible... stunning design and execution, Bravo !!
Very cool, but literally, the first thing I would do is motorize all that! LOL
I was sure I will watch this skipping here and there. But it was 26 minutes well invested!
I love, love, love your videos. Thank you so much for sharing all of these different peoples inspirations for creating a home. Just amazing. I am so appreciative of all of your work.
I just cant express the value your channel has brought to my life, if I made more money I would donate somehow. Thank you sm, super fascinating stuff
This simple structure fulfills a fundamental promise of architecture; connection to place.
Love it. 9 years ago we began our own transition from traditional jobs, home, and approach to “living” life.
Today we find ourselves much happier, content, and satisfied in life. The “stuff” we surround ourselves with, because marketing sold us on their dream, isn’t happiness. In fact that stuff becomes a weight, a burden. I would encourage others to find what truly works for them toenjoy life to the fullest. Whatever that looks like for you, but I can confidently say that it is NOT following magazines, commercials, or what the vast majority around you are doing
Truly inspiring work. Love everything about this space.
Even Ninja would be surprised to see this master work!
Can you imagine how hot this would get in any environment that isn't cloudy all the time? I can see why this works as an Instagram / Airbnb 'trap', but as an actual dwelling... doubt.
Absolutely genius! Thank you for sharing this beautiful living space!
Hi Kirsten! this is one of the coolest videos, fantastic content, thank you!!
Really like this concept, after a very long time found a good video to watch. Thank you guys.
What a clever fella. Beautiful home 😎
What a marvelous design! Integrating the body's movement into creating space to modify the state of the body is a subtle concept, and I imagine makes all the difference to one's peacefulness. Thank you for sharing.
I so love this! This is genius! I want to experience this one for sure let alone live in it.
Das ist wohl das beste was ich je an Haus gesehen habe. Eigentlich ist es kein Haus. Es wird ein Teil von dir, wie du ein Teil des Hauses bist. Beide fließen ineinander um gemeinsam eins zu werden. Es ist eine Lebensphilosophie.
Es geht weit über eine reine Behausung hinweg.
Mensch müsste sich viel mehr getrauen sich aus das zu sehen was er/wir sind, ein Teil der Natur.
Klar ist das kein Konzept für jeden Menschen dieser Welt, dazu sind wir viel zu viele, dann gäbe es keinen Flecken Natur mehr der nicht bebaut wäre. Aber wer sagt, dass man nicht irgendwann eine Möglichkeit hat verschiedene Module aufeinander zu setzen die auseinander gleiten können....
Nur wer Groß denkt und fühlt kann ungedachtes erschaffen.
Schön hier einem solchen Denker hier beim machen zuzuschauen, Danke.
This was amazing. Thank you for mentioning my country. I would love to have this on a piece of land here in 🇨🇦.
This place is beautiful.
One of your best! Thank you!
What an amazing home!! An absolute dream!
Dutch people believing that brushes = insulation is the reason I hate winters now xD
Beautiful engineering, absolutely stunning design! thank you!
First time I'm seeing this and I'm so impressed! He's so smart! Can this be transported anywhere? This is amazing! 👍
