Some new notes on our philosophies, as they develop:

Most homes that we live in today are designed to accommodate the objects in our life, rather than our own bodies. In order to create a design which demonstrates a better awareness of our bodies and how they move, we intend to consult ergonomists, kineseologists and even yoga specialists .

We've also been chatting about where our project falls in the greater picture. I think that the best thing we can do in researching and building a tiny home will be to provide a body of information and a communal network for people who may choose to go the tiny home route after us. By contributing to DIY culture and creative commons design, we are part of a larger movement that is in a position to alter our systems.

The Living Density Exhibition and Forum



We're very excited to be participating in a gallery show with Architecture for Humanity Vancouver this May.

"Through diverse participations this project is aimed at exploring how the issue of density can be creatively engaged with, and subsequently what kinds of spatial and communicative design and strategies may be employed to do so. It is an exploration on how the three scales of urbanity, currently ascribed to the three cognate disciplines of urban planning/design, architecture and interior/industrial design, are interlinked."
-Pat Chan

We're developing a set of works which will demonstrate our concepts and research, and help further this research over the course of the two week show.
