LUXURY GLASS CABINS.

Stay Immersed in Nature.

Live in Complete Comfort.

 

Our Glass Cabins redefine the way you experience the outdoors. Designed to disappear into their surroundings, each cabin combines panoramic flush-glazed mirror glass with precision-engineered construction to create a space where luxury and nature become one.

Wake up surrounded by forest, mountains or coastline. Enjoy uninterrupted views by day and stargaze from your bed at night, all from the comfort of a warm, insulated designer cabin.

Every Glass Cabin is designed and manufactured in South Africa by Tinyhome Africa using premium materials, precision engineering and architectural detailing.

Why Choose a Glass Cabin?

 

Unlike traditional cabins, our Glass Cabins are designed to become part of the landscape rather than dominate it.

FAQ’S

Is the glass private?

Yes. During daylight hours, Solarshield Mirror Glass reflects the surrounding landscape, providing excellent privacy while maintaining outward views. 

At night the windows mirror inwards whilst the lights are on unless blinds or curtains are used.

Will the cabin become hot?

No. Solarshield S10 glass significantly reduces solar heat gain, while the insulated wall system and natural ventilation maintain comfortable internal temperatures.

These units are normally installed under the trees and with Aircon and or fans. Fireplaces can also be incorporated into the design.

Can the cabin be installed anywhere?

The cabin can be installed on most prepared sites with suitable access for delivery and crane installation.

How long does installation take?

Because the service module is factory built, on-site assembly is considerably faster than conventional construction. Installation time depends on site conditions and access.

Final site installation should take no longer than 1-2 weeks.
