Text description provided by the architects. In the middle of nowhere, a tiny house stands on a vast 1.000 m2 of land surrounded by agricultural plantations that emerge from the suburban commune. Due to this isolated location, building a house within a budget of as little as 19.000 USD meant sourcing all the materials and techniques within the local network. On the contrary, this “outer fringe of suburb” is now considered the frontline of urbanization as the residential areas grow further outwards from the centers of major cities.
