Structures representing compact, often minimalist, dwellings, sometimes mobile, and smaller than traditional houses are gaining popularity. These structures prioritize efficient space utilization and resource conservation. An example might include a small, self-contained dwelling built with sustainable materials and designed for off-grid living.
The appeal of these dwellings lies in their potential to reduce environmental impact, lower housing costs, and promote a simplified lifestyle. Historically, small dwellings have existed in various forms, but renewed interest stems from growing awareness of ecological concerns and financial constraints. Their design often incorporates innovative solutions for maximizing functionality within limited square footage.
