Ligno Tiny Home
Ligno Tiny Home is a tiny house manufacturer based in Colos, Odemira, that designs and builds compact homes on trailers or fixed bases.
Vila Akoya is developing a tiny-house village on the Alentejo–Algarve border. It shows how compact housing can reduce the space and material needed for a home.
Small buildings are attractive here for a reason that has little to do with minimalism: they are the shortest route to living legally and affordably on rural land, where a full house means a licensing process measured in years.
Vila Akoya runs a tiny-house village, glamping and eco-camping site in the southern Alentejo. Monte do Aniche builds small off-grid dwellings into a permaculture project near Odemira, and Quinta Lamosa rents tree houses and bungalows in Arcos de Valdevez, which is the low-commitment way to test whether the scale suits you.
Check the municipal rules before you buy anything on wheels; what counts as temporary varies by council. See also eco-building techniques, off-grid systems and low-impact travel. Dated activities from these projects are listed in our events calendar.
