Competition Winner
Architectural designer: Oscar Contreras

Status: Built as a retail Stand

This Tiny House has a clear geometry that consists of a two-story-high cube, 8m front x 10 m long, 140 sqm total built area, the cube has a double façade system, it has a permeable skin at the outside that will help to control the direct impact of the sun and also will allow constant air flow , on the other hand, a more airtight skin at the interior will give more sensation of intimacy. The house is settled in the middle of a large organic pool that allows the water to filter into the subsoil, avoiding getting in the way of the natural water cycles, creating a whole micro-habitat around the house. This micro-landscape will allow the house to keep the air cool, and dwellers will enjoy the water in hot seasons without the need to use air conditioning equipment all the time, and it also serves as a water reservoir or pond for a fish farm.
