This summer 2025, Hästekasen members and volunteers have created a new DIY off grid tiny house for the village : a circular wooden library.
The Hästekasen library
The Hästekasen library has a view on a peaceful meadow, a 12 V off grid electrical system, comfy armchairs and a roaring fire stove. It is the perfect place for a lonely read by the window during winter, a fancy fika between friends, a quiet work session on the computer, for a focused chess game and even a meditation session.
Thanks to our concept “one volunteer brings one book” as well as the generous donation from one of our members, the Hästekasen library contains not less than 5000 books of all genres and many languages (even though a majority is in Swedish).
From the floor to the ceiling, you are not finished exploring the richness of this new place !
An off-grid show case
With two solar pannels on the roof and two 12V batteries connected in series, the Hästekasen library is also a pedagogical show case for simple DIY off grid electrical systems. It is included in our study visits.
It is the 4th Hästekasen tiny house to be off grid. You can use the electricity for the lamp as well as charging your phone and computer. Any 12V device can be plugged in.
