A house smaller than a parking space?

Francisco “Tiquinho” used to live in just 4m² — no bathroom, no sink, no fridge. But architect Ester Carro saw more than a cramped space — she saw potential.

💪 With support from the community and R$10,000 in donations, the impossible became reality: a bathroom built under the neighbor’s stairs, multifunctional furniture, a functional kitchen, and safe electrical wiring.

✨ The project transformed not only the home but also Tiquinho’s self-esteem — and the way we view social architecture.

🌍 Want to hear this story live? Ester will be speaking at Green Building Day 5 on July 11–12 in São Paulo.
