THE GOAL

We made our minimal dwellings in the area of ​​Prague’s Karlín, in a vicinity of other similar dwellings where homeless people live. The whole building, when buying the material, cost about CZK 700, but it would definitely be even cheaper. The experimental house “home without home” took one hour with 6 volunteers including the makeshift stove. During constructing, it was extreme winter and we realized even more how problematic it is to be in this weather without the home or some other shelter.
