Hanspeter stumbled upon the Tumbleweed website and was immediately fascinated by the little structures… Hanspeter began construction of his tiny home last summer, but since he is building one of the first tiny homes in Germany he has encountered a few unique challenges…” – Tumbleweed Read and see more of this Hanspeter’s Tumbleweed Tiny House in Germany.
The models Basic and L are single caravans with floor areas of about 240 and 300 square feet. Model L has room for a large wardrobe. Sleeping in a large, substantial caravan completely constructed of wood is an experience in its own right, one that is relaxing beyond words. Fold the bed up, and there is room …
This small pavilion was designed by the Berlin-based architectural firm, Baumhauer. It’s located in the mountains in southern Germany. While it’s not a home, I was really impressed by the simple geometric design and some of the unusual features, like the mirrors and deck roof. It seems like there are a lot of nice traits in …
Several readers passed this onto me; it seems to be a very captivating idea. When I first spotted it I expected to see a HAL 9000 computer watching over the inhabitants because it’s so similar to basic structure of the living quarters of the spaceship Discovery in the movie 2001: A Space Odyssey.

All the homes at the Solar Decathlon are impressive showcases of advanced renewable energy technology, and it looks like the German team took the first place prize with their cube-shaped surPLUShome. Congratulations to the team from Germany! 2009 Solar Decathlon Winner
This is an amazing (and bizarre) idea. It’s a complete house that is dropped inside a much older ruin of a house. Instead of renovating the old home just slip a new tiny home inside and voila you have a new home with the flavor of an old dilapidated one. All kidding aside, this is …
Here’s an interesting idea for some simple lodging. It’s a tiny room for rent in Germany that’s not much bigger than a bed. For the frugal traveler this might be just the right fit. Tiny Hotel in Germany
The Field Chapel in Boedigheim, Germany built by a team of students from the College of Architecture at the Illinois Institute of Technology, led by Professor Frank Flury.
