Soon 8000 campsites in France will be filled with tens of thousands of campers ready to relax after a year of hard work! In almost all campsites we find sites for tents, motorhomes, caravans and, in recent years, other types of accommodation. This is the case, for example, with traveler lodges or small garden studios converted into rental housing. On the Toulon side, there is a French company that sells mobile tiny houses without a foundation that can be set up without a building permit… The little houses designed by STUGAN are also 100% recyclable. Presentation of this very young French company!
Birth of STYUGAN
STUGAN is an association of three friends from Toulon. Manuel Ennequin, Olivier Durand and Gael Caron, who have known each other since college.

Small house STUGAN offers 21 m² of living space at a height of 4 meters. With an area of 16 m², it does not require building permits or foundations, making it the ideal home for accommodation professionals. Inside, everything is thought out so that the residents feel comfortable. It can accommodate 4 people so it has adequate beds, a kitchen and a bathroom. Modules can also be assembled to create large surfaces. An additional product has also been developed: private bathroom 4 m² which is installed on the side and connected to the house by a terrace.
