Tiny House 2024 – Architecture Competition


Volume Zero invites each one of you to participate in the 25th edition of their architectural competitions and the 5th edition of Tiny House Architecture Competition.

The Tiny House Movement, once again, celebrates the concept of simple yet resourceful living. The homes can be designed to re-imagine sustainability through the concept of maximum usable space in a minimum footprint.

A total of $4,500 will be awarded to the best four projects, along with certificates and publication. 10 Honorable mentions will also be awarded with certificates.

This year’s Tiny House aims to celebrate individuality, reimagine sustainability and to exalt simple, innovative yet resourceful living. The Tiny House Movement is also a platform that not only explores the avenues of ‘mobile’ or ‘Off the Grid’ Living spaces but also the freedom and independence they would offer. Come be a part of this movement; join a new wave of habitat designers!

A Home is a space that is intimate to all of us. It goes beyond an everyday function of being a physical shelter for people and their activities; a home connects with its users at a personal and emotional level.

Our humble abodes are being redefined with every passing day. The world is changing constantly, and along with it, our homes are seeing us spend more time within them. The built form of a home is evolving rapidly, its design adapting to various other needs that were not limited to this space before. Homes today are versatile entities – doubling up as offices, play areas, work-out zones, spaces for interaction and recreation, as alsobeing an abode for our furry friends and providing for their needs.

A space that is transformative, multi-functional, and ever evolving to adapt to us and our loved ones. A Home is no longer just a place you live in but is a place that lives with you.

Less House, More Home!

Participants are invited to design a Tiny House for 2 people that would provide a comfortable living space. The design should be innovative and creative with a sustainable edge.

The area of the proposed Tiny House should not exceed 300 sq. ft., where mobility is a vital factor. The house need not have the ability to transfer itself from place to place; it could be treated as a unit or an assembly of units that can be towed/moved easily by a car or a pickup truck. However, the participants can avoid the issue of mobility altogether by choosing a permanent site and providing a strong justification for the same.
