Aubergine, the Tiny House, was built by the Hearth Community as part of BIG Art; Tiny House, a yearlong public art project highlighting functional forms of art often overlooked by traditional venues.

Aubergine is a prototype for the long-term goal of Miranda’s Hearth: to become the first community art hotel where everything from the food to the furniture will be handmade by local artists. Everything inside, including the house itself, is handmade by local artists.
