Japenese Tiny House within Arid Urban Environment

Location
tucson, arizona

 

Tiny house design is an important modern response to urban densification. Japanese houses represent a way to implement private and personal homes within a limited area. The Japanese tiny house, Lucky Drops, by Atelier Tekuto is one such home that embodies the ability to produce an optimal user space within very limited context. 

 

Through analysis of the Lucky Drop’s design and response to its urban conditions, a similar tiny house design is explored that seeks to translate the experience of Japanese  house to  the urban city of Tucson, Arizona. The design is meant to reflect  the fundamental qualities of the Lucky Drops house in new and parametric ways that would best suit the client and the environment of the site.
