Simply add cabin.
Klumpen is not an cabin off the grid, but it offers all the necessary amenities to live independently from society in comfort. This seven-square-meter teepee serves as an “off-grid utility core,” supplying solar power, satellite internet, a shower, toilet, and compact kitchen. The anticipated price is approximately $35,000 with about $3,000 estimated for shipping within Europe.
The concept involves placing a pre-fabricated Klumpen adjacent to a small cabin and simply turning it on — no additional permits, plumbing, or electrical work required. Its electrical system features a 7.5kWh battery with inverter suited for standard 230V devices and outlets. Efforts are made to recycle water whenever possible to maximize the limited supply, and an all-in-one heat pump offers heating and cooling as required.
A prototype developed with EU funding has been successfully tested. Currently, Himmelsfahrtskommando, an architectural firm based in Stockholm, Sweden, will oversee the production of the initial batch of ten units. A deposit of €2,000 will secure a Klumpen, aimed for delivery in September 2026. For projects on glaciers or volcanoes, an “extreme-conditions” aluminum variant is set to be available for $198,000.
