Tavoite

Exploring tiny homes in Northern Finland and Sweden addresses regions needs for affordable housing that is suited to harsh conditions. The region’s unique challenges with seasonal tourism and mining, large temporary labor-intensive industrial investments demand innovative and flexible solutions. Tiny homes, with their adaptability and mobility could cater to diverse user groups in various different settings.

 

The project’s focus on navigating legal complexities, collaborating with key partners, and aligning with local culture explores tiny homes as an answer for the unique characteristics of the implementation area. Further research is essential to explore their environmental adaptability, cultural relevance, compliance with regulations, strategic land use, user dynamics, legal clarity, and effective collaboration, particularly in the challenging northern conditions.

 

Tiny homes-procedure involves the built environment and technical services, which have to be arranged in a flexible way. Technical services are based on renewable natural resources and energy and ecological efficiency.

The project applied a cross-border tiny homes project in Northern Finland, Sweden and Norway. The preparatory stage involved assessing the region, creating a comprehensive project application, and establishing communication channels with local stakeholders. Tiny homes solutions can also be applied to export efforts to third countries whose climate conditions may vary. Key actors at the preparatory stage were Lapland University of Applied Sciences and Arctic Construction Cluster Finland from Finland and LTU Business from Sweden. The project invited educational institutes, indigenous people’s communities, municipalities and businesses to participate in the action.
