What is Tiny House?
The Tiny House Movement (also called: small mobil house) has its origins in the USA, when, after the devastation of Hurricane Katrina in August 2005, as well as in the banking crisis in 2008, and later from 2020, during the pandemic, many people decided to move to small tinyhouse to retire to residential units, since in this way, the cost of basic services decreased considerably.
About two years ago, this idea was also progressively implemented in Europe.
Meanwhile, small residential units have sprung up in the suburbs of both continents, in which families have established their small houses in a limited number, but on common ground.
Why in Ecuador?
We want to be one of the first to propagate and realize this tiny house movement in Ecuador. Also, with our first tiny house, we would like to introduce the idea of sustainable living and comfortable living in a small space. It is the first and only officially registered international camp; which is also found on our farm and is used by many travelers who drive the Panamericana from Alaska to Argentina.
