An affordable housing prototype in India emerges as a tiny home designed to respond to a growing demand for economical and aspirational living solutions. Located on the outskirts of Indore, this compact micro-home by architects Harshit Singh Kothari and Tanvi Jain embraces a tight footprint while remaining open and adaptable. The design elevates everyday living through thoughtful spatial planning and minimal resource use.
Inside the tiny home, flexible zones accommodate sleeping, dining, and storage without feeling cramped. Its multifunctional layout includes clever built-ins and large openings for light and ventilation. By streamlining construction and leaning on local materials and techniques, the project demonstrates that even small plots can yield dignified, livable environments. It stands as a smart, scalable response to housing challenges, marrying affordability and design with community-driven intent.
