Sheds For Living: Small Practical Prefab Living Space Small houses are the new black right now, and this practical little living space couldn’t be more in vogue. The “Shed,” designed by Manchester-based FKDA Architects, provides all the necessary amenities for living in a compact unit. Designed for those in need of affordable and practical space, the Shed is sustainably built from FSC certified wood, with a healthy interior, efficient use of interior space, and it can run off renewable energy. FKDA has two models of the Shed, aptly named the Big Shed and the Little Shed. The Sheds are prefabricated off-site and then assembled either in the factory or on site. The Big Shed sells for £35-50,000 for 258 square feet, while the Little Shed is £20-35,000 for 140 square feet. Constructed of FSC certified timber framed walls, double paned windows, cellulose fibre insulation from 100% recycled newspaper and interior finishes with low VOC content, the Shed is a great model for green building. + FKDA Architects + Sheds For Living via Design Boom
Garden Studios - Foundations - Green Retreats The key to the success of any building is a sound foundation. You do not need to lay an ugly and expensive concrete slab - we take care of the foundation and it is included in the price. We just ask you to ensure the ground is reasonably flat and level. Using our unique piling system, we drill a series of holes which are filled with concrete, levelled and capped. If you have an old existing slab, we can construct our frame directly onto it. Green Retreats' unique heavy duty steel base sub frame ensures your building is solidly and squarely supported.

PREFAB FRIDAY: O2 Student Village o2 student village, micro compact home, m-ch, mch, small dwellings, prefab friday, prefab, architecture – Inhabitat - Green Design Will Save the World We often get comments about how difficult it would be to live in some of the Prefab Friday homes that we have featured, and none have received more criticism than the Micro Compact Home (m-ch) which we recently featured in our Top 5 Tiniest Prefab Homes post. But the proof is in the pudding, and in 2006, the Technical University of Munich in Germany installed a small village of seven of these homes for six students and a professor to live in for a full year. Via JetsonGreen The m-ch house is a lightweight, transportable dwelling that attempts to diminish its energy usage by the efficient design of living space. It is also very small, as in, 2.65 cubic meters, or 77 cubic feet. Lest you think that the folks living inside it will not be able to enjoy themselves or may lack many of the comforts of a regular house, the m-ch features broadband and standard internet links, a plasma screen and high quality kitchen and bathroom appliances.

Wheelhaus | Tiny houses - Modular prefab homes and cabins JasonDorn.com MICRO-MINI HOME Inspired by the intimate scale of a Japanese tea house and the compact efficiency of a smart-car, students working on a joint project between the Technical University of Munich and the Tokyo Institute of Technology have come up with a tiny, transportable dwelling called the Micro-Compact Home (m-ch). The lightweight structure is only 2.65 m cubed (roughly 77 sq ft), but incorporates everything a person needs in a home in its super compact design. The tiny cube provides a double bed on an upper level and working table and dining space for four to five people on the lower level. The entrance area has triple use: it functions as a bathroom and drying space for clothing, in addition to a lobby. Costing just 50,000 Euros, this little prefab integrates state-of-the-art technology into its compact design, boasting a sound system, flat screen TV, and temperature controls. + Micro-Compact Home
Domenica in strada: Eduardo Ruiz Relero | Organiconcrete Beh, non so davvero da dove iniziare. Oggi è domenica, il nostro giorno, l’ultimo di una settimana che è iniziata con le dimissioni del Papa. Non accadeva da molto tempo. Sempre lui, dopo twitter eccolo sorprenderci di nuovo, stavolta dimettendosi da successore di Pietro. Ma oggi è anche domenica 17 febbraio e il mio almanacco dice tante cose interessanti accadute proprio in questo giorno tanto tempo fa: la morte a rogo di Giornano Bruno, la prima edizione della Treccani e soprattutto la prima mondiale di uno dei miei film preferiti in assoluto, C’era una volta in America di Sergio Leone. L’avrò visto almeno cinque volte, alcune scene le conosco a memoria, come quella tra Debora e Noodles ancora adolescenti e lei che recita il Cantico dei cantici seguito da un bacio fuggitivo. Zelda Mi chiamano Zelda, come la principessa dei Nintendo, come Zelda Sayre Fitzgerald, come Beautiful Zelda della Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band.
Life There’s been a lot of talk about simplifying lifestyles and downsizing in recent years. At the same time, Americans value “design” more than ever, from hotels to kitchen appliances to electronics. In some cases these two trends have converged, and the result has been a notable increase in options for high concept, efficient but stylish predesigned architectural “tiny homes.” While some devoted minimalists live tiny full time, for traditional homeowners, some of these more luxurious models are perfect for low maintenance second (or third or fourth) homes in the form of vacation cabins and cottages. A “Wedge” model tiny home from Wheelhaus serves as a unique hotel room in the Teton wilderness of Jackson, WY. One of the leaders in this field has been Wheelhaus, a Wyoming-based manufacturer of luxury mini-homes whose motto is “Living Large With Less.” The Wheelhaus “Caboose,” one model at the Fireside Resort, is named for its resemblance to a train car.
Bruno Torf Fantasy Garden Artist Bruno Torf created this sculpture garden as a permanent attraction in the small Victorian village of Marysville near Melbourne, Australia. The luscious sub-alpine forests of the surrounding areas were ideal for Bruno’s settings which consists of over three hundred paintings and sculptures. The garden started out with just fifteen life size terracotta sculptures but slowly grew to over one hundred and fifteen pieces on display.
