For our parents, a stable adult life meant owning their own house by the age of 30. But today, owning your own three-bedroom, two-bathroom house is a farfetched fantasy for most people. Houses are expensive, they chain you down, and they aren’t too environmentally-friendly. Some folks aren’t ready to accept this reality as the only possibility. Their solution? Tiny houses.

The tiny house movement has been trending in the past couple of years. Tiny house owners live in houses of about 300 square feet, that they either build themselves or commission from professional tiny house construction companies. Tiny houses can be immobile, or they can have wheels; They can be made with traditional materials such as wood or bricks, or they can be made from recycled materials such as old shipping containers, boats, and cars. Basically, if it has four walls and a roof- it can be a tiny house.

Tiny house owners live their lives free. They don’t have a mortgage to pay, they can travel the country if their house is on wheels, and they can sometimes even generate their own electricity with solar panels and gather rainwaters in a tank, thus avoiding bills – and unnecessary emissions.

Tiny houses may not be for everyone, but they sure are an interesting answer to our world’s problems. And who knows, maybe in the future we’ll all downsize to small, mobile, self-sufficient spaces.

When you think of Belgium, what comes up to your mind? If you immediately think of plain-featured houses than your perception of the country in Western Europe is about to change, and it’s all thanks to one blogger named Hannes Coudenys.

The brains behind the hilarious Instagram and Facebook accounts “Ugly Belgian Houses”, Coudenys have spent the better part of the past decade documenting the unique tastes of architects in Belgium.

From quirky designs to head-scratching decisions to just downright hideous houses, Coudenys have seen it all.
