Text description provided by the architects. Adraga Tiny House is a shelter designed for a retired couple who decided to move next to nature. Whilst similar to the other T.O.W Adraga doesn´t work with an off-grid system and thereby makes it possible to propose a more vast spatial situation.
This design urges mostly from the investigation of the ground plan which made clear that by creating a front main entrance and organizing the infrastructures into two parallel rolls we made it possible to have a resulting open space in the entrance, a relatively big bathroom in the back and a receptive flight of stairs to the second-floor Bedroom.
To make the open space sensation even more clear, we decided to position a pivoting door right in the center of this corridor, making it possible to look at the whole extension of the house when this door is opened. Besides that, a “sky window” is positioned right at the top of the stairs to create a direct relationship with the outside and make the space more fluid.
