The manufactured home industry has boomed during the pandemic because it offers a faster and perhaps cheaper alternative to owning a property in a rural setting. This is precisely the objective of the ‘Tiny Home’ project, which offers small prefabricated houses to return to the countryside.
This work is a proposal from the Madrid-based architecture studio Delavegacanolasso and Ricardo de Zulueta, a strategic consultant in New York, who have put up for sale a 32-square-meter prefabricated shelter for weekend getaways or a 20-square-meter office. However, the study gives the possibility of designing new options by adding several modules: “Starting with the tiny refuge module (34m2) 2 or 3 modules can be joined creating larger spaces, 68m2 or 102m2”. Its price starts at 28,000 euros.
This novelty is not the only one of its kind that can be found on the market, the prefabricated house sector has a wide range of small properties at affordable prices that can be used to disconnect on weekends in a rural environment.

Regarding the design, the company explains that Liten is customizable, choosing between different finishes to adapt to the environment and to the preferences of its buyer.
