A group of like-minded individuals from Malaysia and around the world are taking positive steps to reduce carbon emissions by modernising the traditional Malaysian kampung house and making it both available and affordable for Malaysians. Championed by sustainable advocate, Matthias Gelber (Internationally known as ‘The Green Man’) and his team embarked on a mission to build Malaysia’s first ever extreme zero energy, completely off-grid, carbon neutral and affordable house which, aptly called the ‘GreenMan Tiny Home’.

The design of the GreenMan Tiny Home was inspired by traditional kampung-style houses which were built using eco-friendly materials and raised above the ground to keep the interior cool in the tropical heat. Innovative functions of the Tiny Home include rainwater harvesting, solar power, a bacterial toilet and many other unique inclusions that make this the only transportable, completely off-grid residence in Malaysia.

The compact size of the Tiny Home takes into account the minimum space required for unhindered movement and daily activities. The house has an overall footprint size of only 2.5m X 4.5m and a floor space of 120 square feet, which makes it slightly smaller than a standard parking lot.
