A completely self-sufficient tiny house rotates with the sun's position to store an optimal amount of solar energy. That house will soon be realized, according to the team behind MiniStek. Photo by MiniStek Tiny house MiniStek Turns Towards The Sun  MiniStek originated in the ‘Energiefabriek’ in the town Apeldoorn (Netherlands), a creative breeding ground for entrepreneurs. The Creative Industries Fund encouraged creative people to get started with a so-called 'urgent urban task.' Since there is a lot of vacancy in Apeldoorn and at the same time a housing shortage, we wanted to do something with it ", says Angelique van Lieshout of the ‘Energiefabriek,’ a platform for sustainable citizens' initiatives. "We gathered a group from all interests and professions to get started. Someone called; ‘tiny house’! Another thought it must be something special.

The house should be a flexible living solution, easy to assemble and dismount at any location, and, therefore, without too much foundation. That's why it consists of four segments that can be transported by truck. It is also the intention that MiniStek becomes completely off-grid, thus self-sufficient and therefore not connected to utilities.

As a result, you get a house with optimum humidity, and the indoor climate is more constant than in an ordinary house. The regular building is not used to building a vapor open way, and because of the strict insulation standards, it actually pulls a raincoat around the buildings."

Tiny houses. Once, we considered them to be a nuisance, a hindrance. ‘Ah no, let’s go to your place, my house is seriously tiny!’ Entire generations spent their lives making enough money to buy a bigger home. The size of your home used to be an indicator of how well you were doing in life. Sustainable Tiny House Towns: Wheeled And Fixed That is until some people came along and decided to make living small their new priority. The hype definitely caught on, judging by the number of tv-shows focusing on ‘tiny living’ and the creation of unique tiny homes, the one even smaller than the other. As it turns out, living in a 12 square meter home is the new 120 square meter. It is not just easier to find space in crowded areas, it is also greener - a much lower footprint! - and offers great opportunities for avant-garde architecture. Whether you are using a traditional RV and gutting it from the inside out, or opting for prefabricated factory homes or perhaps futuristic pods (Google ‘Nestron’ to find more about those), the options are endless.   As more and more tiny homes become available and they start catering to a wider audience, it was only a matter of time before people started forming communities. In those communities, minimalist living has become the norm - while common areas are available for socializing and entertainment purposes. Tiny house towns, so to speak. As legislation is still pending and rules and taxes not yet determined, there are not as many sustainable tiny house towns as there could be. This number will, however, grow significantly in the next few years. Time to look at a few of the most prominent examples. {youtube}                                                      Spectacular Tiny Houses Outside of Zion National Park - Utah Spur, Texas, United States Located in the north of Texas, Spur is a tiny town with only slightly more than 1,000 residents. Its rural location has proven ideal for tiny house owners, who feel like they can get closer to nature again by joining this very first tiny home community. The town has found a way of optimizing both services to tiny house owners as well as fostering their sense of freedom and self-sufficiency. Land for the tiny house can easily be bought, with only some minimal aesthetic requirements - like having the house featuring wood or metal framing, proper electrical work, and flush toilets. In return, you can make use of all the town’s services, including fiber-optics. Denise Rosner, 62 years old, who is originally from the Bronx borough of New York City and was the second tiny house dweller to arrive in Spur, where she lives in a 440-square-foot, traditional-looking home. Terrace, British Columbia, Canada British Columbia has often been hailed as a pristine piece of nature. It is hardly surprising that the tiny house movement made its way to Terrace, where the so-called Bluegrass Meadows Micro Village lies in the middle of a remote forest, in-between mountains.

This has become a true art form at the Kurkku Fields in Japan, where the tiny house town is located on the plot of an organic vegetable farm, including a free-range chicken range, an indoor dining room serving fresh, self-grown produce, a solar farm, and art installations.

Know that you are always welcome to visit the Tiny House Academy in Rotterdam, The Netherlands. It is run by architect Jan-Willem van der Male, who has made it his mission to teach people to design and build their own tiny house. The popularity of tiny houses is skyrocketing in this country, making his venture very successful. “It is in our mentality to calculate what we need and what we spend, and tiny house living derives from the idea that you just use what you need, and nothing more,” van der Male says. Recommended:  Solar Power Without Panels On Your Roof The prices are very reasonable as well, he claims, something that is very important to the notoriously money-sensible Dutchmen. A tiny house could cost anywhere between €50.000 and €100.000, much less than an average house. Especially with the rising house and land prices, this is a steal for people who find themselves struggling to purchase a ‘real’ house. Tiny House Movement: Minimalist, Ecological And Economical Values Tiny living may not be for everyone, though. Everyone who is living - or has lived - in one of those downsized dwellings will agree with that. It is not just about being cheaper, or about using less space. It requires a strong mindset that focuses on finding something that is minimalist, ecological, and economical at the same time. Your independence, both economical and literal, comes at a price - and that may be rather unpleasant if you can’t heat your shower as the solar panels just gave out or if you have to work from home with 3 kids running around your 24 square meter home. Tiny house, Rotterdam, The Netherlands. It is exactly those downsides that have made the tiny house movement so hotly debated in a political setting. In order to build a home, you have to adhere to certain standards, as set by the government. This may have to do with style, but also with size and safety. Even for constructing the home, you need to follow a set of rules. Thankfully, more and more people are realizing that tiny house living is not just a fad but something that could be great for the environment as well; and cities are increasingly making space available for tiny house living. Tiny Houses And COVID-19 As for so many things, COVID-19 may prove a blessing in disguise for the tiny house communities. At a first glance, you might think that tiny living is decidedly unpleasant during times of quarantine and lockdown. However, most tiny house owners claim that it is actually not so bad at all: tiny houses often rely on the availability of a great outdoor space for house-bound kids to enjoy during the day. Additionally, within a tiny house community, you tend to get a lot closer to your neighbors. This makes scheduling your day a bit easier, knowing that one neighbor can take your kids for the day so you can get your work done. Also, as Netflix-usage has skyrocketed as well, more people are getting curious about the concept and watching more series showing tiny house living. As they become more worried about our economical and ecological future, this may just be the push that they need to get their own tiny house - as it is both cheaper and better for the environment. The understanding that we can’t keep going is there, and the knowledge that tiny houses might be a more sustainable option is irrefutable. Time to go tiny.

The architect, Leonardo di Chiara (27 years old), wants to bring tiny houses to big cities. He grew up in a tiny home, back in Pesaro, Italy, so he is accustomed to a minimalist lifestyle. His most recent project, the aVOID house, elevates the concept of minimalist living to a higher level. Tiny house: Mobile Minimalistic Housing The tiny house has a surface of 9 square meters and fully furnished with everything you need. This way, the small homes try to challenge traditional housing. The young architect says to ABC News: "the house is on wheels so that you can take it anywhere. Live wherever you want." In the 1980s, a tiny house social and architectural movement started in the U.S. and aVOID is part of it. The movement makes a reappearance. The trend is all about a minimalistic and sustainable lifestyle, with limited resources. Recommended:  Tiny House: The Largest Interiors In Small Houses Tiny House vs U.S. Homes You can compare Di Chiara's aVOID with a Swiss Army knife. In every corner you can find furniture: tables you can flip out, or you can fold out a bed out of a closet. Di Chiara's hopes people will understand the concept and want to live minimalistic. You can skip high burdens (mortgage or rent) in big cities, such as Berlin. aVOID Tiny City House The architect wanted to create a home where people can live closer to the city centre. He hopes aVOID could be a part of the so-called migratory neighbourhoods (a bundle of tiny houses on wheels, integrated within the city). "It is now a work in progress", he says. "Living in a tiny home is a challenge". According to di Chiara, living in a tiny home enables him to control, test and adapt the house, and to implement it with new solutions. He refers to aVOID as an "open" prototype: a work-in-progress construction site. In 2021 WhatsOrb will start it's Tiny House 'Convert' Project. It will be a Tiny House Park with 25 lots for tiny houses. The tiny houses are designed and developed by WhatsOrb and will have a starting price from 40.000 Euro for a standard 48 m2 unit (with reservation). For more information please write to [email protected] At night, the air can be too dampened, so to fix that problem, di Chiara worked with a company that provided a ventilation system. There are a lot of challenges to overcome, but still, he wants to live for a whole year in a tiny home. Once it is perfected, he wants to call it a home for life. If you like, you could try out living in a small home for a night or two. There is only one condition: give the architect feedback.

They explored different kinds of housing typologies. The aVOID home of Di Chiara was part of the small structures on the Bauhaus Museum Campus (which is included in the Tiny house University) in Berlin. Di Chiara says they wanted to create an innovative solution for the process of living, including the design, the construction and living in the home. You will find different kinds of small houses; they are used for living, but also cafes and workspaces. Recommended:  The Devasa Tiny House Raises The Roof The Bauhaus design movement is an inspiration for the aVOID prototype. It is made for a single working professional. Art is combined with industrialization. The Italian architect wants to lower the production costs so that the tiny home will be available for every owner, regardless of the income. At this moment, the materials cost around € 45.000. Di Chiara himself built and adjusted the home. Eventually, he hopes to lower the costs to € 30.000. This will only succeed if mass production is possible. His vision? A migratory neighborhood. His mission is to present the tiny home and raise awareness of minimalistic and sustainable living in small houses.

Tiny House: What Kind Of Materials? Brette Haus chose to use an extraordinary combination of materials: cross-laminated timber technology and a patented hinge system. Using orthogonal layers of wooden lamellas in special press conditions reduce the risk of house shrinkage. Not only that, but it also improves insulation, and therefore sustainability. Brette Hause: The Interior Everything in the house is very organized: you do not have to worry about something breaking when you're driving on the road. The cabins use 99% less water than standard site-built houses. Also, they produce 80% less waste. Brette Haus wants to build a home with a positive environmental impact, so they use only natural materials. Did you know that wooden houses do not require air conditioning? Air is coming through the microscopic pores, so the room is organically ventilated due to the constant circulation of air.
