- Argentina-based Grandio created the Hüga, a $75,000 prefab concrete tiny home that is both weather and bulletproof.
- The concrete unit has a living room, kitchen, bathroom, bedroom, upstairs lounge area, and an optional rooftop deck.
- Tiny homes have grown in popularity during the coronavirus pandemic, and Grandio's Hüga is no exception.
- The majority of inquiries for Hüga come from North American clients, although Grandio has also received interest from customers in countries like Germany, Mexico, South Africa, and Singapore.
- "When we compare the demand curve to other similar concepts, we are way out in front," José Martin, an architect at Grandio, told Business Insider in an email interview.

Tiny homes have boomed in popularity this past year, and the Hüga is no exception. However, Grandio's decision to create a tiny home didn't come from a desire to follow living trends.
Instead, the Argentina-based company decided to create the Hüga after its employees, several of which are college professors, noticed students wanted to travel and live unrestricted by "debt and social structures," according to the company.
This inspiration sent the architecture and engineering firm on a mission to create a home that could accommodate these specific needs. And finally, after two years of work, the 77-year-old company unveiled the Hüga tiny home earlier this year amid the ongoing tiny home boom.
