This Tiny House Built on a 354 sq. ft Plot is a Space Saving Marvel (Home Tour).

Located in a tight urban context in the old city of Surat, Tiny House is a five-storeyed house made on a plot area of merely 354 sq. ft. The house seamlessly belongs to its surroundings without taking away its cultural and contextual relevance.

A striking feature of the house is a Hume pipe designed into the elevation that houses a tree leading up to the balcony on the first floor. Metal louvers with perforations form an integral part of the elevation which allow the flexibility of complete permeability or privacy from the street.

All the liveable spaces have been pushed to the front part of the house while the staircase shaft abuts the rear end, establishing a smooth vertical access throughout.

Openable metal louvers, consistent material palette, smart permeability of sufficient light and ventilation, and green spaces on the facade are some key highlights of the project. Principal Architect walks through the house, giving an insight into various details, materials and planning that went into utilising the best out of this small site.

We want to see these types of projects on this channel. Architects usually work on a 1500 Sq Ft Plot and call that a small house. I wonder if they have ventured into real Indian urban spaces and see what most people can afford. Big plots with high budgets will bring in fancy elevations and crazy structures. But a real architect should be able to take up small projects and build something great with limited resources. I tip my hat to this architect. Keep making waves, it has an effect.

I have seen hundreds of design videos but none uses three side closed plot such imaginatively...best

It’s not how big the house is, It’s how happy the home is ✌🏽 7:56

Really liked the intelligent use of space and thoughtful balance between privacy and ventilation. Good to see that young architects are working with projects for the common people.

I have seen 1000s of videos of tiny homes but the architect has so wonderfully designed this home that it just mind blowing

[Mranshumansinghr]

Architecture at its best. Every house should deserve attention. Size is never a obstruction it is a challenge worth taking.

Terrific work. Thank you for working with small spaces. Usually all designers on YouTube work on large flats and bunglows that are out of middle class family budgets. Gratitude for providing us an option to have our small homes beautified.

I hope they get the elevator fixed quickly. Meeting guest in 1st floor, eating in 2nd floor, sleeping in 3rd n 4th floor. It ll be a punishment to the knees...

[rahulgowda]

It is always exciting to watch architecture designs in small spaces.
Hats off to the architect for this amazing design.👍

[suktisubhradasgupta]

[amitdudhankar]

[kshitizadhikari]

This is impressive. Design and architecture is so fresh and refreshing. Love the floor pattern and the creativity for privacy and greenery even in such a little space.

[anujchauhan]

The moment you step inside the home you are taken into a different world. It's amazing that how vibrantly the Designer have tuned the space.

[vipinbaliga]

Fascinating!! Nothing is impossible.
Hats off to the owners for their taste and the architects for such a beautiful job!

[sarangabarde]

Gr8 work. I've seen many such projects in Tokyo. If horizontal space is limited one can rise vertical. I liked the movable sieve grill thing. It enable fresh air as well as privacy.

Our country needs more such projects where space is costly (Bombay, Delhi etc)

[MIkEDapHarAo]

One of best budget houses for middle class.
And the architect herself in front of the camera explaining should be done often. Good explanation.! Kudos.!
Everyone should be able to build their dream house even in such confined spaces of city with the feature of connecting or keeping privacy as and when needed.

[shrikantgaikwad]

When I see rich people in metro cities starving for space, air, sunlight, wind, my small city 50*50 area bunglow feels like the Tajmahal....😇😇😇😇

[marathwa]

Such a beautiful design, it seemed you get disconnected as soon as you enter home. It has its own vibe ie very positive. Excellent.
