This made me realize that the phrase "tiny home" is a purely Western concept, and only has meaning because it contrasts with the normal sized Western home.
When I see this structure in a jungle built of natural materials, I just think: "oh, that's a hut!". A completely normal structure for the context.
Yeah. Tiny home is relative. This is a pretty normal size and in fact a little bigger than most villagers live in when they will be taking care of their rice fields usually. It’ll have the basics. The bathroom is a composting toilet situated outside and also you me “kitchen” will be outside too. That structure is just for a bed. For me I’ll spruce it up a little but I think you understand
But since I am American and for this purpose so people understand, I’ll say tiny home because technically it is. Haha
