We have prepared four things that we would like you to know about Tiny Houses, and in particular, about The Tiny House Barcelona .

Quality construction, fast and detailed

Tiny Houses are quick to build and are cheaper than a conventional house. This makes sense because a small house has fewer square meters and therefore fewer building materials. In general, a Tiny House can be built in a few months, on the other hand, a conventional house needs at least a year of project and construction. The Tiny House needs less materials to build. Since less material is needed, it is also easier to build a small house with high-quality materials . The same cannot always be done with a large house due to the quantities required. This is why home builders often use cheaper building products to keep costs down or otherwise charge more for quality and quantity. At The Tiny House Barcelona you will be able to appreciate that the few materials that have been needed to build it, from the windows, the insulation materials... are of high quality.


A more functional design


More and more architects and designers are working on "smarter" concepts and compact living spaces. LEs Tiny House, due to its size, a smart design is crucial to maximize the space and provide the necessary amenities. At The Tiny House Barcelona you will easily discover this when you realize that under the stairs there is space to store luggage, that in a small space you can have a complete shower and sink, or how you can get a large bedroom in a Tiny House.

Usually one of the challenges of interior designers and architects working with Tiny House is to achieve storage areas, so there are functional furniture and appliances that save space, as well as functions that serve multiple purposes or can be hidden when are not used. In our Tiny House you will see that vertical space is also optimized to ensure that all aspects of The Tiny House Barcelona can be used in the most practical way possible.


Easy and comfortable

If a small house is cheaper and faster to build, it stands to reason that it will also have small maintenance costs. implement, there is less to repair, maintain and clean, which equates to huge savings in time, energy and money. This is one of the most attractive aspects that have been taken into account by many people in the US or other countries where more and more people are living in a Tiny House.

Having a clean and well-kept small space is easy, and our ideal for The Tiny House Barcelona is to think that the more time we dedicate to the conservation of the Tiny House, the more you can enjoy your free time in the surroundings of Barcelona and the Natural Park of Collserola.


Reduced energy costs

This is the most important point of The Tiny House Barcelona . Tourism generates a lot of expenditure on energy resources but we, with the Tiny House, have found a nice balance. In general the cost of electricity is expensive, regardless of the size of any home, so it makes sense that a smaller space will be cheaper to heat or cool and provide lighting or power appliances. At The Tiny House Barcelona you will see that we have installed a pellet stove, we have made an effort to insulate ceilings, walls, we have chosen good windows... with the aim of reducing energy costs. Also, Tiny Houses on average have only six light bulbs compared to an average of forty-five in a larger house.

As you can see, Tiny Houses are also a global movement that we aim to demonstrate that we can see in smaller spaces, consuming less and enjoying the environment more. In Wikipedia you will also find information about this movement.
