Tiny House
The Tiny House project (2022) consists of the design of three types of prefabricated and small to medium-scale homes under a contemporary and sustainable wave. The Type A home, of 37.64 m2, includes one bedroom and a bathroom, the second Type B home, of 69.02 m2, includes two bedrooms and a single bathroom. Finally, the Type C home, on a larger scale, consisted of including two bedrooms and two bathrooms. This project belongs to the category of Leve by Cazú Zegers. A set of works that seek to democratize high-quality architectural design in wood. Pre-made of wood, this home was conceived to provide a deep experience of warmth in any territory and has architectural solutions that prioritize spaciousness: invisible doors, extensive windows, a staircase inspired by origami and terraces that project the internal space.

Tiny House
2022Do you know the concept of botanical shyness? It is a phenomenon in which certain types of trees avoid touching each other, leaving space for other species to receive sunlight. This arboreal behavior generates an extraordinary scheme: all the species grow separately, but at the same time, they fit perfectly into the forest. This was what inspired Cazú Zegers to design a territorial project that sought a new way of living and creating a community. The idea was to create a town that prioritized gatherings and neighborhood life, with the mountain foothills as a backdrop. And it was under this project that our first tiny house was born, a modular house capable of adapting to many (and beautiful) natural environments. Pre-made of wood, this home was conceived to give a deep experience of warmth and has architectural solutions that prioritize spaciousness: invisible doors, extensive windows, a staircase inspired by origami and terraces that project the internal space.
