Parking Space-Sized Homes

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The 'Tikku' House Offers All Necessary Amenities in a Compact Space

— October 16, 2017 — Art & Design
The growing population in urban locations around the world is seeing housing prices increase exponentially, so new solutions like the 'Tikku' house are becoming essential to help get more people their own space.

The 'Tikku' is the design work of Marco Casagrande and features a footprint of just 8.2 feet by 16.4 feet, which makes it roughly the size of a standard vehicle parking spot. This makes it possible for the unit to be used virtually anywhere that a traditional house couldn't fit or perhaps isn't desired.

The 'Tikku' house comes in a basic model that has a starting price of $41,500 and uses vertical space to transform what might otherwise be unused space on a property into a functional spot for comfy living.
Trend Themes
1. Compact Living - The 'Tikku' house showcases the trend of compact living by offering all necessary amenities in a small space, addressing the need for affordable housing in urban areas.
2. Flexible Architecture - The design of the 'Tikku' house highlights the trend of flexible architecture, allowing for the unit to be placed in unconventional locations that traditional houses cannot fit or may not be desired.
3. Vertical Space Optimization - The 'Tikku' house exemplifies the trend of vertical space optimization by using the vertical dimension of a property to create functional living spaces, providing a solution for limited horizontal space in crowded cities.
Industry Implications
1. Real Estate - The real estate industry can explore the trend of compact living by developing similar affordable housing solutions to cater to the growing population in urban areas.
2. Architecture and Design - The architecture and design industry can leverage the trend of flexible architecture by developing innovative structures that can adapt to unconventional locations and meet the changing needs of urban dwellers.
3. Construction and Materials - The construction and materials industry can seize the trend of vertical space optimization by developing innovative construction methods and materials that enable the creation of functional living spaces in limited horizontal spaces.
