About the competition
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 being an abode for our furry friends and providing for their needs.
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 is a place that lives with you.
Less House, More Home!
CHALLENGE:
Participants are to design a Tiny House for 2 people that would provide a comfortable living accommodation. The design and concept of the house should be innovative, creative and sustainable and explore how compact spaces can support modern living in creative and meaningful ways.
The relation 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. The proposal should focus on Comfort, flexibility, sustainability, and quality of living within a small footprint.
The designed proposals can be mobile that can be towed easily by a vehicle, stationary, portable, floating on water, suspended mid-air, modular, or adaptable to changing lifestyles and environments.
Participants are encouraged to develop innovative concepts that respond to both the users and the surrounding context.
SITE:
Participants may choose a site anywhere in the world.
The selected location can be:
