Inspiration from Tiny Homes for Middle-Classes in India..

We already have variants of tiny homes in slums and low-income settlements in India.. but even the middle and upper-middle classes could draw inspiration from the tiny home movement.. following the example of America, we have been falling prey to increasingly large homes - 2000 square feet ! No, 3000 square feet ! Even 4000 and 5000 square feet ! Whether taking the shape of apartments or houses..

Here's an inspiring story from America itself..

Intentional Communities

These are called ‘Intentional Communities’..
