뜻
A residence with limited space.
문화적 배경
The 'Slava' (patron saint day) is celebrated even in the smallest houses. A 'mala kuća' will be packed with guests, proving the proverb that a house isn't small if the people are good. In mountainous regions, 'male kuće' were traditionally built of stone to withstand the wind. They are symbols of endurance. In the plains of northern Serbia, 'male kuće' are often elongated ('nabijače') and painted white to keep cool in the summer. The 'Tiny House' movement is seen as a solution for weekend getaways (vikendice) rather than permanent urban living.
