""We need to reduce emissions from the building sector by 80-90%, and build almost 2 billion new homes by the end of the century," warns Kuittinen. These imperatives... are incompatible, which is why we need to consider radically different housing and construction solutions."
""Shadow" also refers to the home's impermanence, since the structure is entirely mobile and can be dismantled. It is also the first of its kind to incorporate a specialized decarbonated steel in its facade."
"The house uses 56% recycled materials across its entire build, which means 85% fewer resources than a conventional house (this alone reduces its footprint by 43%)."
Tiny House Shadow, located in Lohja, Finland, is a 365-square-foot sustainable tiny house designed by architect Matti Kuittinen. It aims to address climate and demographic challenges through mobile and modular construction. The house incorporates 56% recycled materials and utilizes SSAB Zero™ steel, which is nearly free of fossil carbon emissions. Kuittinen emphasizes the need to reduce building sector emissions by 80-90% while constructing nearly 2 billion new homes by the century's end, necessitating innovative housing solutions.
