Before, we have shown you the Cécile from the French company ‘Optinid,’ a tiny house with a sliding roof; when open, you can watch the stars from your bed or take a sunbath without moving to your terrace.

Now, on WhatsOrb (Share your ideas), the Devasa, which ‘slides up its roof.’ It’s a model from Tiny House NYC, which can increase in height to provide more space when staying in it. You can compare this technique with a European Alpen Kreuzer or Paradise, which was used by camping enthusiasts,s mostly in the 70th and 80th, from the last century. Nowadays, you could compare it with a camper van with a pop-up roof.

Having your bed(s) ready for a good night rest is all that is possible on the Devasa ‘top-floor’. Of course, some small furniture which does not extend the height of your bed. When the roof is lowered, you would otherwise have to move all that is higher than your bed, or it will be squeezed to a size which probably is not what you want! The lifting part of the roof runs on a 12 V car battery, which powers four screw jacks which are fit in each corner of the Devasa tiny house. It is also possible to operate it manually in case the system would fail.
The price from the Devasa tiny house will be around €110.000 or $ 125.000 (with no appliances yet installed in the kitchen).
