Sustain Design Studio has designed a pretty cool product: the miniHome. Part trailer, part house, the miniHome is ultra-portable, but also ultra-stylish and as prefab as you can get:
"Recipe for a good idea:
Also worth checking out: the miniHome blog, miniHomage.
- Take the familiar - The lowly Travel Trailer
- Build it to last, and be easy to maintain
- Make 350 sf feel like 600 sf
- Use only Green materials
- Add Off-Grid, Solar and Wind systems
- Let it run on biodiesel
- Keyword: Multi-functional
- Keep it extremely light on the land
- Make it beautiful
Combine all of the above into a package easily deliverable by truck anywhere in North America, that can set up on arrival in less than an hour."
