Located in a region of Portugal famous for stargazing tourism, this tiny house features multiple levels to connect residents with nature
It is one of the three tiny houses that draws inspiration from the region’s architectural heritage including monolithic white Taipa houses, and megalithic monuments
The façade is covered in cork bark to match with trees in the surrounding area
The centerpiece of the design is a large circular window that adds a sense of spaciousness to living area
The living area has custom wooden seating in front of a fireplace
The residents can access a half-piped balcony from this circular window
The kitchen has just one cabinet tucked to one side of the tiny house
A double bed is situated underneath the balcony for sleeping
Just next to the entrance is a narrow hall that conceals both the toilet and shower
The maker has employed passive design solutions such as cross ventilation and strategically placed openings ensure thermal efficiency
