Tiny house lovers, meet Tikku. A super sleek, multi level tiny apartment that currently lives in a bustling Helsinki square, where it only takes up a footprint of 2.5 x 5 meters (roughly 8′ x 16.5′) \u2014 the size of a parking spot. <\/span>The house, designed and installed by Marco Casagrande<\/a><\/em>, is described as “a contemporary cave for a modern urban nomad.” Tikku<\/strong>, which means “stick” in Finish, seeks to bring a sense of the organic to city life.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

H<\/span>ow the furniture was arranged for entertaining, for conversation, for “company.” It was once common for friends to drop by, even unannounced, and for you to spread some refreshments around while you sat on couches, facing each other, to shoot the breeze. Nowadays that sounds insane. Comedian Sebastian Maniscalco perfectly and hilariously illustrates the difference between someone dropping by 20 years ago versus now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The house is designed to be mobile, to set down wherever one might place a car. It has three floors: one for sleeping, one for working and a green-house that are designed to be endlessly adaptable to the owner’s needs<\/em>. There’s a sand box in the base of the building for balance, so one can simply set the house down wherever there is space, no foundation required.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
