In a residential area in San Nicolas a property called “Hofi Diamant” is being prepared to accommodate a Tiny House community. Hofi Diamant means diamond garden.

At this location future residents will be living in self-sufficient tiny houses built to withstand the Aruban climate. A tiny house is a sustainable built house, approximately 15m² – 44m² (161sq.ft – 473 sq.ft) in size. It’s creatively and resourceful designed to maximize space and light. It provides own renewable energy sources (e.g. electricity, biogas) and is hooked up to a waste-management and waste-water management system which in turn is connected to surrounding landscaped gardens providing this little community own and home-grown vegetables, herbs, flowers and various fruit.  Each tiny house furnished with renewable energy sources will be equipped with Smart Home Technology. The landscaped premisses with different garden sections and common areas for relaxation will also execute Community Supported Agriculture. Harvested fresh produce will be sold in the Shop unit located at the entrance of the premises. The focus at this “Green Community” location is on simple, environmentally conscious, and healthy living.
