But these no longer mean quite such a drastic downsizing as they once did. Thanks to a number of innovative space saving solutions it is quite possible to live large in small spaces.

As is clearly evident from the above picture, the so-called Denali is not quite your regular tiny home. It was designed and built by Timbercraft Tiny Homes of Alabama, and features plenty of space despite being a tiny home.

As MVRDV, a Holland-based firm, proves with their recently completed Casa Kwantes. The latter is a luxury home, which features a brick façade, plenty of glazing, and an array of energy efficient tech. The design of the home itself was inspired by 1930s architecture, but it features a modern twist.
