Westphalian University of Applied Sciences (Hochschule Gelsenkirchen) is developing a modular, eco-friendly tiny house in response to housing shortages. The project was featured in the regional program WDR Lokalzeit Ruhr on July 31, 2026.
Developers Lukas Rauer, Matthias Reinländer, and Lisa Hegemann claim the house is easier to assemble than an IKEA shelf. Built in the university's "Maker Space," the house features a modular design and sustainability. Application possibilities are virtually limitless.
