Short description

The Tiny House 2023 Architecture Competition has been recently organised by magazine ’Volume Zero’ inviting everyone worldwide to participate.

The Tiny House Movement, once again, celebrates the concept of simple yet resourceful living. The homes can be designed to re-imagine sustainability through the concept of maximum usable space in a minimum footprint. A Home is a space that is intimate to all of us. It goes beyond an everyday function of being a physical shelter for people and their activities; a home connects with its users at a personal and emotional level.

Our humble abodes are being redefined with every passing day. The world is changing constantly, and along with it, our homes are seeing us spend more time within them. The built form of a home is evolving rapidly, its design adapting to various other needs that were not limited to this space before. Homes today are versatile entities, doubling up as offices, play areas, work-out zones, spaces for interaction, recreation and also as an abode for our furry friends, providing for their needs as well.

This is a space that is transformative, multi-functional, and ever evolving to adapt to us and our loved ones. A Home is no longer just a place you live in but one that lives with you. Participants are to design a Tiny House for 2 people that would provide a comfortable living space. The design of the Tiny House should be innovative and creative with a sustainable edge. The area of the proposed Tiny House should not exceed 300 sq. ft., where mobility is a vital factor.

The participants can choose a site according to their design proposals. The location can be either an urban or a rural area anywhere across the world. The design should be integrated well with the selected site and the selected site must strongly justify the design proposal.
