Stef Lemmens from Belgium has taken the tiny house living to an extreme with his extremely compact house. He gave up on his need for luxuries and built this ingenious tiny house with bamboo and other recycled materials for a tight budget of $523. Stef’s simple tiny house is built creatively on stilts and is possibly the world’s smallest micro-dwelling.
The main base of this elevated tiny house has been constructed using bamboo and rope to keep the wood in place. Rockwool keeps the interior insulated enough to sleep on cold nights. Stef has also installed a rainwater and rain gutter system on the roof that collects all the water into a barrel. This water is then used for many purposes such as drinking, washing dishes, or brushing teeth.
There is also a five-gallon water filter and tiny shelves on the exterior where he keeps his many useful items such as a cooktop. You must be wondering, how he enters the home. Well, Stef has inventively installed a door at the base of the house, made from a recycled shopping cart. He pushes the door up and enters straight into a compact living space.
The living space deserves an appreciation for being functional despite its size. It is where he has unfurled his creativity the most. Stef says that the room has a full standing height unless you are as tall as him. There is a window that he opens up to let some fresh air in. He also has an induction cooktop, which he sometimes uses for cooking.
Other than this, there is also a comfortable sitting space with windows on the other side to make the area feel open and less claustrophobic. Other than this, Stef’s tiny house has enough storage shelves for spices, utensils, food items, a few books, and toiletries. There is also a towel rail on the roof.

Stef stacks his winter clothes in a spacious nook above the sitting. On his roof, there is a 300-watt infrared panel that heats up the space perfectly fine. Impressively, there is a water tap and a tiny sink tucked in a corner in fine working condition. To access the water, he has a foot pump system and a table for eating inside.
This compact space is fine for sleeping as well. It is very clever of Stef to use his entrance door and table as part of his bed to extend the space for a restful night’s sleep. It is not easy living in this tiniest space, however, Stef makes it look so effortless. Stef’s tiny house was built on a very tight budget of €500 (roughly $523), and it is a sight to see.
