Geo-Lite Hybrid Yurts
One of my readers, David, tipped me off to these simple prefab yurts made by Geo-Lite Systems. They also sell some very interesting stand-alone home utility systems that combine the bathroom, kitchen, heating, electric power and waste handling systems. Great find, thanks David.

Palladio’s Escape Cottage
You might have seen this on Facebook over the last few days. It’s the prototype for a tiny house kit that the builder hopes to sell as prefab components or a complete house. It’s a really amazing design too and looks custom, not like a prefab. This variation is 412 square feet and would cost …
DIY-Prefab by Malcolm A. White

I can imagine how a tiny house could be built the same way from off-the-shelf low-cost industrial parts. It seems like an …

The ebook is a 65 page downloadable PDF that includes the plans ans assembly instructions for a panelized prefab building system a do-it-yourselfer could build with common building materials. It’s $27 and …
A House for Khayelitsha – Update
