Connecting 2 building structures that can easily be separated again
Hello
I'm considering if there's a simple solution to connect two building structures that can later be separated if one wants to move the houses. It must meet requirements and regulations and be wind/waterproof.
The reason is that we are planning to build a tiny house that is a maximum of 3.1m wide so that it can be moved without a lot of permits when relocating. But we would like to have a small structure on the side that could serve as a hall/wet room. This should then be detachable and transported behind the main structure on a truck trailer.
Think of the design as a small wing.

From a construction standpoint, there are no problems. "Baracker" have always been assembled into larger buildings in, for example, schools, worker housing, and various others. However, it's a different matter when it comes to permits. I don't even know if temporary permits for housing exist, and if it's meant to be so temporary, they should probably be on wheels........
It's intended to be a year-round residence and I think it might stay in that location for maybe 6-10 years. The idea of being able to move it is to take your home with you when relocating instead of needing to build/adapt a new one.S Stefan1972 said:Construction-wise, there are no problems.

All houses can of course be moved, and it is certainly no problem to build so you get assembled modules. The tricky part is likely the building permit aspect if it is for permanent residence. I have no idea how it works in detail..........Temporary solutions are usually temporary and certainly time-limited. Otherwise, they stand on wheels so they are movable. Otherwise, it's not so common to move around with one's residence.
