-New HOme Project | Leifur Thor's WorldPress Station
Imagine a home that provides a level of comfort and ease of living beyond what’s known. Now imagine this home uses less energy while providing that superior standard of living. In this century, wouldn’t we rather have a home that harvests energy quietly instead of using it? An enclosed space three average people with no special skills can assemble noise free, and with no special building tools in three weeks from start to finish. When disaster strikes and emergency shelters are needed, weight, cost, and ability to stand up in the elements are the three considerations when relief organizations look to find shelter solutions for people in need. The New Home Project will address both these critical aspects and challenge the idea of shelter by offering a radical departure from traditional shelter construction. Strangely enough we currently build houses, in the west at least, patterned after our own heritage, mammals. The two parts of the New Home Project are- Like this: Like Loading...
24 Hours in a 325-Square-Foot Apartment: The Night Shift - Microdwellings
Welcome to hour 7 of our 24-hour live blog from the Museum of the City of New York's 325-square-foot micro-apartment. In the first installment of our adventures here, we've observed museum visitors come and go, gawk at the space-saving furniture, and compare their own homes with our tiny temporary dwelling, designed by Pierluigi Colombo. Now we're going to host a small dinner party, get the apartment expertly appraised, and speak with a woman who lived in just 90 square feet to give her views. Let's roll. 6:00 p.m.: All the prop books in the unit are real books with their covers painted white or gray. 6:14 p.m.: We just learned that you can clean the floor with Windex (!). 6:32 p.m.: Here's a panorama of the kitchen and living room. 7:01 p.m.: As we prepare for dinner, we've been reviewing the small kitchen cooking tips we learned at the earlier demo: 7:28 p.m.: Pizza time! 8:12 p.m.: Preparing for dinner: 8:54 p.m.: So, how much is this place worth, anyway? ?

Magical Dome House in Remote Thailand Constructed in Six Weeks for Just $8000!
When most people imagine their dream home, they probably think of a large, sprawling vacation house that cost hundreds of thousands of dollars. When Steve Areen thought about building his dream home, all he had to do was find $8,000 and a place to build. He did just that and, in a few weeks, he had a vacation home in the middle of Thailand that could make anyone drool. Steve was given a place on his friend Hajjar Gibran’s mango grove to build his home. With a Thai friend’s guidance, his son-in-law’s masonry skills and a lot of work, the team made progress quickly.
Cramped Or Not, I Want To Live in These Tiny Japanese Houses
At the same time, clutter irritates me. Gotta find that happy medium. You can have less space without clutter. Definitely this. I live in Kanda, literal minutes from Akihabara to the north and Tokyo station to the south. Zero clutter. Honestly, a lot of times, clutter is indicative of too much stuff. You live in a tiny space with no clutter as long as your stuff doesn't exceed your ability to store and organize it.

Think Outside the Box: Dome Homes for Sale
While dome homes may be odd-looking to some people, to a growing set of home buyers, they are now the only way to go. According to Dennis Johnson of Natural Space Domes in Minnesota, the housing crisis and recent devastating tornadoes have increased awareness and interest in building, or buying dome homes. “We’ve had domes go through hurricanes,” Johnson said. Missouri’s Romain Morgan is a believer. Because dome homes are energy-efficient, easy to build and are able to better withstand hurricanes and tornadoes due to its round, aerodynamic shape, the dome home is becoming more popular — especially in areas that are prone to tornadoes and hurricanes. The geodesic dome was first made popular by inventor Buckminster Fuller who wanted to revolutionize housing in the 1940s. “A bathroom would be a bathroom, and the kitchen would be a kitchen but the dome shell part of it is going to be less cost than a traditional box house,” Johnson said.

A Suspended Room / NeM Architectes
Architects: NeM Architectes Location: Gentilly, France Architect In Charge: Lucie Niney, Thibault Marca Structural Engineer: INGE.ST.AR Area: 40 sqm Year: 2012 Photographs: Rémy Castan From the architect. Located as it is in Gentilly in the vicinity of Paris, on rue Raymond Lefebvre where rows of houses go almost uninterrupted, this little detached house stands out. The gap creates a break on this promontory overlooking the urban landscape and elicits the surprising impression of a perch above the street which otherwise looks like a continuous ribbon of house façades. The idea of the suspended cabin originated in the need for a large extra space, the characteristics of the site, and the owner’s desire to keep a car park and to take advantage of an exterior sheltered area. The extension cladding suggests transparency and abstraction, only revealing the street-facing window when it is lit at night.
