Inhabitat's Prefab Friday showed off a cool village of 
micro compact homes:
"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)...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."
The WIRED LivingHome buzz has made its way to Australian blog GreenFoot:
"It's the sort of house that both myself and my husband would love - me the green aspects and him the techy-gadgets. Although we wouldn't need as much room or as many bathrooms.
The Good Human's Prefab Wednesday covered the iT House from The Wired Home is described as a modernist home in an exclusive enclave of Los Angeles that allows luxury and the environment to live together in harmony.
Sounds pretty cool huh?"
Taalman Koch:
"...it sure is a gorgeous example of what can be done with metal and glass."
Home by Sunset is a fan of Michelle Kaufmann's mkLotus:
"Now she's designed a prefab that's as green as possible. I think it's terrific. Note the sod roof, the way accordion doors open entire walls to expand the living space, the sunshades, and the photovoltaic panels."The post also confirms that the house will be showcased outside San Francisco City Hall during the West Coast Green building conference.
