Tiny House Living

Here’s a very nice little house just outside Bangkok, Thailand that was build from two 20-foot shipping containers. It was designed to withstand the hot humid climate and features a roof that floats above the main living area keeping the heat off the house. I’ve seen more and more homes use this simple trick to keep cool in hot weather.

Shipping Container Tiny House

This tiny house has been all over the green blogs this week. The aerieLOFT is a little transparent prefab tiny house that measures 10′ by 11′ and is 17′ tall. They describe it as a fancy tent that will cost about $20,000 in kit form. They will also be making plans available for those who want to built it but don’t want to pay the kit price. You can also read about it on TreeHugger, RowdyKittens, and Shedworking.

Treehugger has begun a new annual tradition of announcing what they consider the Best of Green: Design + Architecture. This little shed won the Best Prefab or Shed under 150 Square Feet and is the creation of Friggebod By Dorte Mandrup Arkitekter. Treehugger has also put together a list of their favorite sheds. I first spotted this shed on Shedworking.co.uk.
