Houses We Love: Every day we feature a remarkable space submitted by our community of architects, designers, builders, and homeowners.

Project Details:

Location: Kolozsvár, Kolozs, Románia

Architect: Cabini

Footprint: 385 square feet

From the Architect:

"To acknowledge the footprint we leave on our planet and the responsibility we have for sustaining a friendship with nature, we have created Cabini Tiny House. It comes with the comforts of the 21st century, but is mindful of the environment.

"In our construction technology, we follow the path of nature, which embodies techniques that are not new, but have proven to be reliable over hundreds of years. Such values, combined with modern materials standards and a compact design, ensure that future maintenance will be inexpensive and simple.

"Cabini Tiny House houses are built using wood, metal, and fiber cement board. We use a facade that ventilates and can be different colors and materials for the outside of the house."
