In a departure from traditional towable tiny houses, the Tini M, crafted by the Spanish firm Tini, embraces an unconventional design with most of its interior visible to passersby. While this may not be ideal for bustling areas or privacy enthusiasts, it offers a unique opportunity for the owners to immerse themselves in the natural surroundings of their rural plot. The prefabricated residence provides flexibility in options, allowing customization of layout and achieving full off-the-grid functionality.
Situated in Madrid, the Tini M boasts extensive glass elements, fulfilling the owner’s request for openness, and these glass panels can be slid open at various points. The exterior is enveloped in Corten steel, imparting a distinctive rusted aesthetic that evolves over time.
The interior spans 34 sq m (approximately 365 sq ft), all on a single floor, maintaining simplicity within the limited space. Featuring a modern design, the interior incorporates a birch ceiling and walls, complemented by oak flooring, creating a well-lit and airy ambiance.
The layout encompasses a bedroom area with a double bed, a lounge space with a sofa (or alternatively, a coffee table and a wood-burning stove), and a kitchenette equipped with an induction stove, extractor hood, sink, integrated fridge, and cabinetry. The bathroom, strategically placed for privacy, houses a shower, toilet, and sink.
Customization options for the Tini M abound, allowing variations in interior and exterior finishes, layout configurations, and window placements. For those seeking independence from traditional utilities, the dwelling can be equipped with a solar panel and battery setup, along with a water tank and septic tank. Furthermore, its modular design facilitates alternative uses, such as transforming it into an office, or combining two Tini M units for a more expansive living space.
