Adraga Tiny House is a shelter designed for a retired couple who decided to move next to nature. Whilst similar to the other T.O.W Adraga doesn´t work with an off grid system and thereby makes possible to propose a more vast spatial situation. This design urges mostly from the investigation of the ground plan which made clear that by creating a front main entrance and organizing the infrastructures in to two parallel rolls we made possible to have a resulting open space in the entrance, a relatively big bathroom in the back and a receptive flight of stairs to the second floor Bedroom.

To make the open space sensation even more clear, we decided to position a pivoting door right in the center of this corridor, making it possible to look at the whole extension of the house when this door is opened. Besides that, a “sky window” is positioned right in the top of the stairs to create a direct relation with the outside and a make the space more fluid.
