Tiny homes are big news, and the architecture company Madeiguincho has a new design following in the footsteps of its other beautifully detailed, fully functional tiny homes.
New Atlas described the new Barca design as having a "compact but practical interior" and said it "looks light-filled thanks to generous glazing, with the amount of light controllable using traditional shutters."
The Madeiguincho company focuses on "experimentation" and has a deep respect for the beauty and craftsmanship of woodwork.
The Barca has a clean, minimalistic central living room with a small kitchen area, two loft beds, a small bathroom, and another multifunctional loft area. All of this fits onto a 17.8-foot trailer, per New Atlas.
On top of all that, the home, now situated in Portugal, is powered by a roof entirely composed of solar panels — this tiny home is completely off-grid. Water comes from a well and a pump.
This home may be less than ideal for full-time living, but it makes a dreamy getaway. As an alternative to vacation homes or rentals, tiny homes can save people money while they relax at a home away from home.
Wealth Formula states: "Lower mortgage payments or no mortgage at all allow homeowners to save money. Many choose to invest their savings in travel or experiences rather than material possessions. Tiny houses often come with lower utility bills, too. Smaller spaces mean less heating, cooling, and maintenance costs."
And that's beneficial for the climate, of course.
Barca's solar panels show that for tiny homeowners, solar is the way to go. Navigating solar panel installation is simplified by a company like EnergySage, which provides quotes from local installers and can save people up to $10,000 on installation.
The Barca is a gorgeous creation by a talented company. As Home Crux said: "This dwelling is minimalistic yet one-of-a-kind, offering a nurturing space for the dwellers."
