The TIGÍN Tiny Homes, conceived by social enterprise Common Knowledge, repurpose hemp and cork into a compact, mobile micro-home designed to offer affordable and sustainable housing solutions. Enveloped in corrugated hemp panels, insulated with cork and outfitted with a rubber flooring base, each 20 m² unit reflects a commitment to low-carbon design and conscious crafting.

At the heart of the TIGÍN Tiny Home is a modular layout that accommodates living, working, cooking, bathing, and sleeping across two levels. A ladder leads to a mezzanine bed space above the main room, which includes a kitchenette, bathroom, and multifunctional seating that doubles as storage or an additional bed. By pairing mobile architecture with an open-source “Build School” model, Common Knowledge empowers users to construct or customize their own homes—supporting both independence and climate-conscious design.
