The micro-home is a concept growing in popularity. Not only are they more energy efficient than average homes, they also enable residents to live off the grid more easily. Often connected to trailers and delivered pre-fabricated, these homes make up for what they lack in size with convenience and price.
The XS-House from Tumbleweed
The XS-House from Tumbleweed measures only 65 square feet and is built entirely on a 7′ x 10′ utility trailer. Company founder Jay Shafer lived in one for an entire year, proving it’s practical down to the last inch. It includes a bathroom, kitchen, main room, and loft.
The BOXHOME by Rintala Eggertsson Architects
As a conceptual project by Rintala Eggertsson Architects, the BOXHOME is a mini minimalist creation that covers the basics, but not much more. Built to be ultra-energy efficient, the BOXHOME is a 19-square-meter home with four rooms covering the basics of most homes: dining room, living room, bathroom and bedroom.
Weebee house by Tumbleweed
Measuring in at a massive 102 square feet, the cozy Weebee house by Tumbleweed will easily qualify as the smallest house on your block. Amenities include a desk, fireplace, bathroom, kitchen, and loft upstairs.
