These Common Knowledge x Tigín Tiny Homes dwellings have been created in collaboration between the two organizations to provide homes in the face of an increasing housing crisis in Ireland.
The micro homes are characterized by their compact yet efficient form, which is achieved with sustainable materials like hemp and cork. Built on trailers, the homes are equipped with a kitchen and lounge space on the main level with storage and a bathroom to boot. The upper loft area offers enough space for a well-sized bed to make the home suitable for a single person or a couple.
There are currently four of the Common Knowledge x Tigín Tiny Homes dwellings for sale at a price of $54,800 but the main mission of the initiative is to teach consumers how to build their own.
