There’s a TV show I find quite peculiar, and at the same time, a bit absurd, so I’ve only watched it a few times. It’s the one about tiny houses. Regardless of the model they’re building, the extremely reduced dimensions, or the technical features, what grabs my attention the most is the mindset of the person behind the project. Why would someone want to live in such a small space? What leads them to give up the comfort of a standard-sized home? How do you convince your family to embark on such an adventure? As an individual choice, it might even be feasible, but when you have a family, the effort required is so much greater, and I find it incredibly hard to believe that everyone would be on board. It remains a mystery to me.
But I have to admit that tiny houses, aesthetically speaking, have their charm. They look like toys for adults, or at the very least, they remind me of a diorama. There’s something unreal about them, and their uniqueness makes them stand out, much like a mansion would impress us with its grandeur.
That’s why, whenever I come across a structure of that kind, even if it’s not technically a tiny house, I feel an irresistible urge to take a photo of it. The building in today’s photo has the structure of a house, but given its size, it can’t really be considered a proper dwelling. It might be a cabin or a shed for farming tools, though it seems too elaborate for that purpose. It’s hard to categorize, but beyond its function, I find it endearing. If it were in good condition, it would be perfect for spending a few days of summer vacation there. And who knows, maybe someday, when I pass by again, I’ll find a sun umbrella in front of the door and an inflatable pool in the nearby field.
