November 2026 Contest Thread: "Urban Tiny House"

This is where we chat (and definitely don’t argue) about the theme "Urban Tiny House," the topic for November 2026’s contest.

Here are a few examples of tiny houses photographed in Tokyo back in March 2016, now part of the album:

Hi there, In the first photo (9 floors), and actually for the others too—except the second one—are you calling these buildings "small houses"?!

What matters is that this house is built in an urban setting with other houses (...) that are taller to highlight the contrast between the different buildings next to it

Hey Raga

I posted my first photo to check if I understood all the guidelines correctly. My image shows a small-urban-house, as required. But in your instructions, you said:

What matters is that this house is built in an urban setting with other houses, either the same size or taller, to show the contrast between the different buildings next to it.

There aren’t any apartment buildings or other urban structures to show that contrast. Let me know if I’m way off, and I’ll delete my photo 🙂

I posted my first photo to check if I followed all the instructions correctly. My image shows, as it should, a small-urban-house.

Or what’s left of it after an earthquake?

Yep, remains-of-an-urban-tiny-house 😛

Hi Ragamuffin, I put together a little slideshow for the November contest "Small Urban House." The photo scroll doesn’t start automatically—this way, you can get a preview of all the photos first.

Hi Julie

Slideshow for the November "Small Urban House" contest.

Thanks, that’s sweet of you!

As a thank-you: here’s a photo of a small house you know ;)

Good evening Raga,

Could I get an answer to my question?

Coire (en allm. Chur), chef-lieu du canton des Grisons (Graubünden), Suisse

Bonsoir Catherine,

je crains que ta photo ne montre pas ce que Raga souhaite voir. Par exemple, je ne vois pas de contraste entre grandes et petites maisons. Faut regarder la photo de Montagnard74 - idéale ! Mais je ne suis pas Raga… Je crains qu’il n’y ait pas beaucoup de photos cette fois-ci.

(Quant à ma photo, je ne suis pas très sûr non plus)🤪 hgb
