atihre, tiny house, brittany

The Association ATIHRE focuses on promoting and facilitating the integration of lightweight and reversible habitats in the Trรฉgor Goรซlo region. They work on eco-village projects and temporary housing solutions, aligning with social and ecological goals. The association also collaborates with other local and national groups to address housing challenges in the area.

We are building a tiny home for youth in order to offer them a place to live when facing a house crisis. This is a tiny home with bio-sourced and reused materials as much as possible. Accommodation is included (van or caravan) + lunch on the days we work.

Facilitate the integration of light and reversible habitats (tiny homes) in the Trรฉgor Goรซlo territory through awareness-raising and animation actions, as well as the development of eco-villages, or by allowing and securing more occasional installations in gardens or on plots that allow it.

In conjunction with other local and national associations, it aims to meet the aspirations of people wishing to live in light and reversible habitat in line with social and ecological issues, but also to propose solutions to address the housing issues in the territory.
