Since the move towards communal living, the need for individuals to have their own private, peaceful space has been on the rise, especially in recent years. In the wake of global natural disasters, people’s search for safe living spaces has changed significantly. In this context, tiny houses have emerged as a prominent alternative, especially during times when entering traditional homes was not an option. Galip Ölmez, Chairman of the Board at Yako Groups, emphasized that constructing modern prefabricated communities rather than mass housing in disaster zones is a more secure option. Yako Groups has been producing cost-effective tiny houses for earthquake victims following container homes.
Compared to the production of the same number of units in reinforced concrete buildings, tiny houses offer a time advantage of approximately 25%.
“TINY HOUSE COMMUNITIES” INSTEAD OF MULTI-STORY BUILDINGS
Galip Ölmez, Chairman of Yako Groups, stated that mobile homes offer people a safe living space, saying, “With the immense impact of the earthquake, people became unable to enter or leave their homes, which increased the demand for tiny houses. Considering our country is situated in an earthquake-prone region with vast lands, we aim to create modern tiny house village systems that allow people to live securely in nature. Specifically, we can fit 10 tiny houses with shared communal areas into just 2.5 acres. Our vision is to create a village within this space. Many people who want to move away from multi-story buildings are reaching out to us. The tiny houses we produce meet all general needs of a home, but do so in a minimalist manner. In addition to providing a safe living environment, tiny houses also offer an eco-friendly and sustainable lifestyle. In this regard, establishing tiny house villages instead of building apartments in disaster areas would be both more cost-effective and safer. As prefabricated structure producers, we are open and ready to engage in any initiatives for a modern village movement,” he said.
