What Are Tiny Houses?
4
- Tiny houses now-a-days are chosen to happen for the most part, people make their own distinction with where they want to live. The new modern style is just one branch though. - The ways that people live in different cultures, not juts the western settings, can have a very different outlook on the house size that they want to encompass themselves with.

The Quaker Settlements were the first real Tiny-Houses in America. Small and functional they were just enough for a small family to live and work. They weren’t the most comfortable of places , made of not mush more than wooden walls and thatch roofs. These houses were heavily form over function. Having only a fireplace and “Loft” if it barely even qualifies as one. Its basically just a glorified storage shelf thats big enough for a person to sleep on. Though we woldnt be where we are now without them 1

Built by a Finnish design student, he was trying to make his own house without filing a building permit. In Finland that area (in square feet) is 96 to 128, so he kept to his word and made his house in the municipality of Sipoo, where it resides today. He built thus cabin out of entirely recycled materials and named the house after what translates to “birds nest� in Italian.

The Cozy Box house is trying to accomplish the comfortability that the name brings, with a harsher shell and exterior, and more modernist take on the exterior metal walls. Having a clear glass structure in the middle that lets plants grow and the white interior being a stark contrast to the exterior, from a subjective point of view, has accomplished its goals
