A Three-Story House That Fits in a Parking Space
There's a design for a 400-square-foot house spread over three floors.
Adam Williams shares news of the Tikku house, designed by Marco Casagrande. Tikku means "stick" in Finnish, and the house lives up to the name—standing 2.5 x 5 m (8.2 x 16.4 ft), or roughly the size of a parking space.
In total, the Tikku "has a total floorspace of 37.5 sq m (403 sq ft), split over three floors," explains Williams. The prototype model includes "a work area on the first floor, a bedroom upstairs, and a small greenhouse/living space on the top floor."
The article includes 18 images of the house, which made its debut at Helsinki Design Week 2017.
