Recently, housing land has become increasingly limited. Some people choose to live in apartments or flats. However, there is another solution that you can choose so that you can still live in a landed house, namely a micro house. The term micro house is uncommon in Indonesia, although the trend is starting to be loved by many people in big cities. If you are interested in carrying out this building concept, find out detailed information to make a mature plan.

The term micro-house was first introduced in 1973 by Lloyd Kahn, the author of Shelter. The idea of ​​a tiny house was then discussed by Lester Walker in a book entitled Tiny Houses in 1987. The same concept was also developed by an architect who graduated from the University of Oregon, Sarah Susanka, in 1997.

A micro house can be defined as a tiny house less than 100 square meters, the building area only ranges from 40 to 70 square meters. Although simple, the quality of the building cannot be equated with subsidized housing. Usually, these tiny houses are designed at high costs to make them look more attractive.

You can get some of these advantages if you own and live in a micro house:

• You can implement an artistic housing concept in a reachable budget.
• Because it is a small house, you will have practice time to clean your house.
• You will have a maximized smart home system (smart home concept) in all parts of the house.
• You won’t have many electronic devices because there is no space. Therefore you will save energy.
• The remaining land of the house can be used for green open space or other purposes.

Living in a micro house requires you to declutter. Don’t let your house become narrower and stuffy because you have a large amount of unused items. You are not only organizing your storage space neatly, but you also have to get rid of unused items.

If you buy a house land with a small area, the remaining budget can be used to build a micro house. Try to create a comfortable home concept that suits your family’s needs. Limited land is not a big problem as long as you can work around it.
