The Madrid-based architecture studio Delavegacanolasso and Ricardo de Zulueta, a strategic consultant in New York, have launched the Tiny Home project: small prefabricated houses to return to the countryside, which offers a 32-square-meter prefabricated shelter for weekend getaways for €28,000.

This house includes a full bathroom, kitchen, integrated pine wood furniture, integrated LED lighting, plugs, switches and sockets. In addition, it has a 1000 liter water tank, a battery installation and a 2000 liter septic tank. Thus, these models are totally self-sufficient, but the company gives the option of connecting to the water, electricity and sanitation of the plot where it is going to be installed. What it does not include is a mattress, cushions, seats or other additional decorative elements.

These prefabricated houses are completely built in factories and the client receives it by truck completely made in an average period of 2 months from the moment of purchase. They can be placed on any plot, either as a home or as an auxiliary building to an existing home. And if the chosen option is self-sufficient, it will be necessary to install the buried septic tank, the solar panels and the water tank, which will take about 2-3 days. The possible movement of land or placing a floor below would not be included in the price.

The ‘shelter for the weekend’ by the Ágora Arquitectura studio

This small 40 m2 prefabricated house, as its name suggests, is designed to serve as a refuge for a weekend getaway. On sale for 30,000 euros, it can be installed in any rural environment, as it is transported by truck.

The refuge has three differentiated zones. In the front part there is the living room and the kitchen that open to the outside thanks to sliding glass doors. The back, with two sleeping spaces and one for storage, is the most intimate area of ​​the house. And, in the middle part, there is an intern service bar, providing the whole with the comfort of some adjacent bungalows.

Facing south, the house’s three large sliding windows combine low-emission double glazing, so that heat loss is reduced in winter and shade is generated in summer thanks to a solar control system that uses simple roller blinds.
