Competition: win a book about tiny "nomadic" homes all over the world



Dezeen is giving two readers the chance to win a copy of Nomadic Homes, a book featuring a selection of moveable compact dwellings around the globe.

Spanning 44 pages, the illustrated book is published by Taschen, and includes photographs and descriptions of the housing designs.

Examples include the Underwater Room, constructed from an open-air timber frame in Zanzibar by Mikael Genberg, and Portage Bay Floating Home by Ninebark ? with a rooftop deck and sizeable indoor living space.
