A Canadian company called NOMAD Micro Home sells prefabricated homes, easy to assemble in just a few days. This prefabricated house is an example of ergonomic use of space. The standard model, with sides of just 3 meters long, is equipped with a living room, a kitchen, a bathroom and an upstairs furnished bedroom.
The living area on the ground floor of the micro-house has plenty of space to be furnished with a cozy sofa to relax on in front of the TV. A kitchen with cabinets for storing cooking vessels is designed in extension of the living room. To save the little space of the house with only 9 square meters footprint, the access stairs that lead upstairs, where there’s a bedroom equipped with a double bed and space for a wardrobe, are just above the kitchen furniture.
The very well insulated modular house, in order to minimize heat loss, can be delivered with a solar panel-heating system, but with a rainwater collector as well, these improvements making it economical and environmentally friendly.
Project developers say such a house can be built both in urban and in rural areas, suitable both as family residence and as a shelter in areas affected by natural disasters. And the fact that the home comes packed and ready to assemble, greatly reduces the final cost of construction. The price is $25,000 CA.
This ultra versatile tiny house makes use of every inch of its 210 square feet, and is equipped with solar panels and a water purification system so that it can go completely off the grid whenever necessary.
Haus der Waldeulen, Wolfurt, Austria by Riegger Bär Architekten
Die Waldeulen sind ein Verein zur Förderung der Wald- und Erlebnispädagogik. Der Spielraum Wald dient dabei als ganzheitliche Wahrnehmungsförderung und Sinnesschulung sowie intensive Bewegungserfahrungen in der Natur. Märchenhafte und fantasieanregende Spielmöglichkeiten durch spielerisches Lernen von ökologischen Zusammenhängen. Um dieses Angebot durchgängig d.h. auch bei sehr schlechter Witterung anbieten zu können, ist es erforderlich den Spielraum „Wald“ durch eine Schutzhütte zu ergänzen, in welcher Kinder und Erzieher bei sehr schlechten (nassen/kalten) Witterungsbedingungen Schutz und Aufenthaltsmöglichkeit finden. Die Schutzhütte, der sog. „Waldsetzkasten“ ist als ein von aussen offenes Regal geplant. Die umlaufenden Regalflächen dienen den Kindern z.B. als Aufbewahrungsort ihrer Waldfundstücke, als Insektenhotel oder gar als Futterstelle für die Waldbewohner. Im inneren beherbergt der „Waldsetzkasten“ einen geschlossenen Raum der in den oben beschriebenen Fällen zum Aufwärmen und zum Jausen dient. Vorgelagert zu diesem Bereich befindet sich ein offener, jedoch gedeckter Unterschlupf.

Brazilian illustrator Gabriel Picolo is just over 100 days into an awesome art project called 365-DaysofDoodles. It’s exactly what it sounds like - Picolo is drawing something new in one of his Moleskine sketchbooks every day for a year. However these are some of the finest “doodles” we’ve ever seen.
Each drawing is unique and often inspired by some sort of pop culture source, featuring his own version of characters from anime, tv, movies and fine art.
Click here to view all of the daily doodles that Picolo has created thus far and then be sure to check back to watch him update the project.
