If anyone knows about how you can live easily and comfortably in a small space, then it’s Marjolein Jonker. The 47-year-old is ambassador and front woman of the Tiny House movement in the Netherlands. Tiny Houses are fully functional houses with a maximum floor space of 50 sqm and a minimal ecological footprint.

Introducing Sprout

Marjolein Jonker’s small home is known as Sprout. The Dutch native has created a cosy home covering just 24 sqm. The concept follows the idea of sustainable living to the letter. It is made of bio-based materials such as wood, hemp and jute, is environmentally friendly and – in Marjolein Jonker’s case – is completely energy independent.

As they are from Geberit, I know that the sanitary products will last for years and offer a lot of comfort.

An oasis of well-being across four square metres

The bathroom also makes the most out of a small space – in this case just over 4 sqm. The rimless WC ceramic appliance, actuator plate and compact lay-on washbasin are all from Geberit. “As they are from Geberit, I know that the sanitary products will last for years and offer a lot of comfort,” explains the new homeowner. As a result, her dream of having a small oasis of well-being has become reality.
