  • $300 House Concept by Joseph Sandy

    After learning about the cultural needs and expatiations of a housing in Haiti, we set to work in identifying a strategy to address the idea of creating a $300 house. The Haitians expressed the need not of extremely cheep housing but that of jobs. So how could our house design spur job creation. This along with getting local material costs led us to identifying an idea that we would only spend $300 on imported goods and then $1,700 on local goods and labor. The house ends up costing $2,000 but it can create jobs which was more important to this location.” – Joseph Sandy

  • Shipping Container Cabin Concept – Part 2

    Building on the last shipping container concept it seemed logical to add another 20-foot shipping to see how much more space that could really provide.

  • Rock and Rollit

    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.

    But no, this is a design project from students at the University of Karlsruhe in Germany. It’s a clever concept for getting more function from a small space, albeit a bit impractical for more than one occupant… and flush toilets. 🙂

    You’ve seen shipping container homes but have you seen truck tanker homes? So far this is just a concept for a tiny house but is really well thought out illustrated. Great food for the imagination by Aristede Antonas.

  • Tiny House Design by Joseph Sandy

    Here’s a really nice little tiny house design by Joseph Sandy. I really like the opposing roof lines and how that might help direct rain water into a cistern. Nice use of interior space too and features a cantilevered loft.
