What is a Tiny House?
Home is a space that is intimate to all of
us. A home goes beyond its 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, and spaces for interaction and
recreation, transformative, multi-purpose, and evolving to adapt to us, not the
other way around.
A Home is no longer just a place you live
in but is a place that lives with you.
OPPORTUNITY:
As needs evolve, house designs are evolving
globally. Designing outside of the box has become increasingly important as
land availability and economic feasibility decrease. It is imperative to
utilize space efficiently and effectively.
Now with the effects of the pandemic and
other factors in the recent years the home environment is more critical than
ever. In addition to shelter, a home must serve as an office, a full-time
kitchen, an entertainment area, and place for peace. Having one home act in all
these roles is a challenge that designers have to cater to for a variety of
spatial experiences.
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 innovation of maximum usable
space in a minimum footprint.
Living Small, Yet Living It All!
CHALLENGE:
Participants are to design a Tiny House for
2 people that would provide comfortable living accommodation. The design and
concept of the house should be innovative, creative, and sustainable. The relationship
between the exterior surroundings and interior spaces must be taken into
consideration. The proposed design should be well-conceptualized. The area of
the proposed Tiny House should not exceed 300 sq. ft. Mobility being a vital
factor, the house need not be self-mobile, but should be treated as an
extension that can be towed easily by a car or pickup truck.
However, the participants can avoid the
issue of mobility altogether by providing a strong justification for the same.
The Interior Spaces should include the following:
·
Living Area
·
Toilet space
·
Sleeping Area for 2
·
Workspace
·
Cooking and Dining Area
·
Recreation space
·
Any other function that the participant wishes
to add to the habitat
Client Interaction is one of the critical
components of the design proposal. For the purpose of this competition,
entrants may assume an individual, couple, or a genre of people, based on the
design concept.
SITE:
The participants can choose a site
according to their design proposals. The location can be either an urban or rural
area anywhere across the world.
Design can be integrated well with the
selected site. The selected site must strongly justify the design proposal.
