The unhoused population in Fredericton, New Brunswick, where millionaire Marcel LeBrun lives, has been a growing problem for years. When LeBrun sold his start-up company, he decided to solve the problem himself — by building 99 permanent homes for his city. While he admits he could easily fill 200 homes, he thinks it’s a step in the right direction.
Besides full houses, complete with bathrooms and kitchens, the community will include a coffee shop and screen printing factory where residents will be able to work. There will also be mental health and other services on-site offered to residents. The gated community has plenty of security cameras to keep everyone safe. Enjoy the pictures and watch the news story below.

You know what they say about Texas — everything is bigger — including the Dome Homes. This incredible 1970s marvel is two stories and houses four bedrooms, three bathrooms, two living rooms, and a gorgeous atrium filled with live plants providing oxygen and color to the space.
Far from tiny, but super cool, this dome is still owned by the original builders and there are awesome construction pictures of the space inside. They recently added a huge deck to the front of the dome where you can relax or grill and enjoy views of the lake. They also have lake access so you can take a dip if you want to!

Burnt out and inspired by her freedom, Nikki decided to leave that life behind and join her wife in a year-long van conversion! They put nearly 80,000 miles on the van in four years.
About a year ago, the couple decided to get separate rigs and still caravan together, that way they could enjoy exploring together but have a little more personal space.

These are fantastic tiny house plans by Vina Lustado of Sol Haus Design. The home was designed for a couple with a staggering height difference—he is 6’4″, and she is only 5′ tall! As such, they needed a home with extra head clearance to make living inside comfortable for him. The extra-tall tiny home requires special permits to move but allows for 6’6″ of clearance under the lofts.
This design has a first-floor flex room that could be a twin-sized bedroom or office and a loft with plenty of space for up to a Queen-sized bed. Depending on your needs, the secondary loft could be an office or storage area. What do you think of this design?

Here’s a romantic, modern houseboat in Germany that sits on the giant Scharmützelsee Lake. You can reach it via a boardwalk, which gives you 24/7 access to the marina wash stations and bathroom. The little floating home gets a dazzling view of the sunrise each morning!
I especially love the wood-burning stove! The host provides plenty of wood, so you can stay snuggled up in bed all day and watch the waves if you want to. There’s a small kitchen area and a built-in dining space. Want to enjoy the weather? Head outside and climb the ladder to the rooftop deck!

Kelsey and Luke own almost identical dogs, although each one is a mutt! That immediately bonded the pair and after Kelsey’s car and apartment leases were up, she moved into Luke’s home — but the house seemed way too big and constricting. That led them to begin searching for a van.
However, they found vans were too tiny for four of them, and skoolies were too big. The short bus was a perfect “Goldilocks” option for them. Overall they spent about $22K on the bus and the conversion, which includes a convertible bed in the back and a rooftop deck on top to give them a spot to have “alone time” when needed.
