One of the most amazing designs I’ve seen recently for a prefab structure is Shelter 2.0.

They’ve also released the designs under a creative commons license to make it easier for people to make use of this great new solution.

It’s a 10′ by 12′ panelized structure for quick assembly. The prefabrication should also make this an easier do-it-yourself project.

Shouldn’t building codes be designed to protect folks… not limit or exclude folks? This article on Tiny House Blog describes one such work-around situation at Lake Ontario, Canada.
