November 2026 Contest Thread: "Urban Tiny House" (page 2 of 2)

Take a good look, bottom left—there’s a little building 😛😏 (New York)

Hi Ursula

I understand. Raga logged in on the 3rd after my message on November 2nd. I hope he’s doing okay.

At 137 - 139 Promenade des Anglais, there are two villas: "La Monada" and "Collin de Huovila." Photographer Johanna Birett photographed and documented them under the title "A Lovely Old Couple." She describes two small houses nestled between two imposing facades.

Is there anyone nearby who could take a photo of them?

South Africans voted this week, but those living in these small houses in a Western Cape township hardly voted—or often voted against the party that had promised them better days (any resemblance...).

Small (sub)urban house(s)

Good evening Ursula,

At 137 - 139 Promenade des Anglais, you’ll find the two villas "La Monada" and "Collin de Huovila."

A great example of "small houses" in an urban setting (Nice, Alpes-Maritimes - France).

I'm really craving a trip back to Japan, to Kyoto, to photograph the "Face House"!

Photos I found online:

1. Overall view in the city (and you can see there are tons of small houses in Japanese cities)



2. Street view

Another example of small houses

here in Tokyo

For those wondering how it's possible to build such tiny houses:

Well, even if you didn’t want to answer Kate’s question directly, I can tell from your latest posts that it’s definitely about contrasts.

It’ll be easy to vote since few photos actually fit the theme. 😄

Prophetic or visionary? This villa, built at the beginning of the 20th century on the seafront in La Baule, is called "Côte à Côte."
