TINY HOUSE CONTEST 2024

For the third edition in 2024, the focus was placed on Tiny House construction techniques. The theme was titled “Tiny, Beyond Utopia.” While maintaining its foundation in essential architecture, feasibility and economic reality were highlighted, without losing sight of creativity and innovation: proving that Tiny House architecture is much more than a concept but a viable option for those seeking a simple and sustainable lifestyle.
New to this third edition, the winners’ project will be exhibited during summer 2025 in one of the squares of the Villa Medici Gardens in Rome during the Festival of Cabins.

TINY HOUSE CONTEST 2022

In a bid to foster momentum around Tiny Houses, the Huttopia Foundation decided to launch a two-yearly competition. Open to all, the contest is an opportunity for all participants to get their work noticed, with the winners being awarded the technical and financial resources needed to bring their prototype to life. The Tiny House trend is an expression of a need for a simpler, more sustainable life in closer step with nature.
Long a niche interest, the Tiny House movement has been gaining traction as our society deepens its environmental awareness, appealing to a growing number of people looking for affordable accommodation with less impact on our planet. Increasingly viewed as a way of life, the Tiny House approach is about getting back to basics and embracing slow living.

TINY HOUSE CONTEST 2020

The Huttopia Foundation’s very first Tiny House competition launched in October 2019, and attracted entries from 280 applicants. Its winner was announced in September 2020.

Open to all, the contest’s participants came from sectors spanning architecture, design, roofing and beyond, in a mix of degree-holders, national diploma graduates, and unqualified profiles.

This competition sets out to champion reversible construction for accessible, resilient accommodation that is integrated in its environment.

The popularity of this first edition points to the extent to which the young generations in particular are engaging with these issues.
