Tiny Houses at Athena Le Perron
Klapkot and Wikkelhouse: sustainable accommodation in the Ardennes
The permis unique has been approved. This marks an important new step for Athena Le Perron: from now on, there is room for modern, sustainable tiny houses on our site. With Klapkot and Wikkelhouse, we are opening the door to a new way of recreation — comfortable, ecological, and completely in harmony with nature.
Both private individuals and future tenants can enjoy this. Currently, there are five locations available for a Klapkot. Water, electricity, and sewer connections are already in place, allowing an idea to quickly develop into a concrete project.
Klapkot: much more than a caravan
Klapkot is a fold-out holiday home on wheels, designed by a small Dutch company that is strongly committed to design meets innovation. Thanks to a clever folding system, Klapkot transforms from a compact, roadworthy format into a surprisingly spacious living environment.
Inside, everything has been carefully designed, with an open layout that allows you to further personalize the interior. An armchair, a small dining table, extra cupboard space—with your own touches, it will soon feel like a compact home surrounded by greenery.
Klapkot is well insulated and designed for year-round use. You have access to:
- a private kitchen with running water
- a restroom
- a full-size shower
This makes staying there in early spring, late fall, and even in winter particularly comfortable. This is not a classic camping facility, but a fully-fledged tiny house, ideally located near the High Fens.
Comfort and options
Functionality and living comfort are central to every model:
-
good insulation
-
HR++ glazing
-
kitchen with sink and stove (gas or induction)
-
bathroom with shower
Optional extras include underfloor heating, a pellet stove, and solar panels.
Because Klapkot is mounted on a trailer, it remains mobile should this ever be necessary.
Why Klapkot is a perfect fit for Athena Le Perron
For Athena, Klapkot is not a random addition, but a conscious and sustainable choice. It fits in seamlessly with what many of our members find important: simplicity, nature, freedom, and tranquility—without compromising on comfort.
What makes Klapkot so suitable?
-
Pleasant in every season
Whereas a caravan is often limited to summer use, Klapkot offers comfort and ease of use all year round. -
Compact yet spacious
The folding system creates a living space that feels larger than expected. -
The golden mean
For those who find camping too basic but are not looking for a permanent home: Klapkot is the ideal bridge between camping and staying in accommodation.
Practical and businesslike: how does it work?
-
You purchase your Klapkot yourself, in consultation with Athena.
-
Athena predicts:
-
the location
-
all connections
-
permits
-
The annual site rental is approximately 50% higher than for a traditional annual site, due to water, sewerage, and electricity connections and infrastructure.
The Klapkot remains your property. You only rent the annual pitch at Athena Le Perron. This keeps everything transparent and simple, without complex ownership structures or concerns in the event of a move.
Do you have questions about design, technical connections, or options? We are happy to assist you and work with you and the manufacturer to determine the best configuration.
Klapkot is built by a small and dedicated team from Breda. You can visit the workshop by appointment, and there is often a model available for viewing.
In 2026, we will once again be organizing a demonstration event at Athena Le Perron. The date will be announced in our newsletter.

Wikkelhouse will also have a place at Athena Le Perron
In addition to Klapkot, it is now also possible to install a Wikkelhouse at Athena Le Perron.
Wikkelhouse is an innovative, modular tiny house concept from Amsterdam. The houses are constructed from 24 layers of sustainable cardboard, combined with wood and high-quality insulation. The result is a light but surprisingly sturdy construction, energy efficient and perfectly suited for year-round use.
A Wikkelhouse consists of separate modules that you can combine as you wish:
-
a compact base
-
or a more spacious unit with kitchen, bathroom, and sleeping area
For those looking for a more high-end, aesthetic, and future-oriented outdoor retreat, Wikkelhouse is a particularly attractive option.
We would be happy to discuss the possibilities at Le Perron with you. A Wikkelhouse can be viewed at Athena Ossendrecht.
