About the project (provided by the applicant)
«Small Bright Home» is an innovative 25m² self-sustaining microhouse designed for couples, featuring a vibrant Neoplasticism-inspired color palette. Using Kingspan materials, it connects indoor and outdoor spaces with bold colors and textures. Its polyacrylic sheets create light and shadow effects, while solar panels and rainwater collection systems ensure sustainability. The design includes a vertical garden, solar-powered lighting, and energy-efficient features, making it a standout despite its small size. These modular, economical homes are important because they are easy to construct and provide a secure, pleasant living space for people without housing or those starting out in life.
