From the outside, you might not even be sure what it is at first. The best way I can describe this one of a kind motorhome is a mashup of an Airstream, a pitched roof house, and a bus.
Joe, the owner/builder/dweller, has had a normal house before. But today, he doesn’t see the point. So he lives a minimalist lifestyle in this self-built and designed motorhome.

Stream Belmont and Stream Real Estate together with NK Architects has built a 6-story, 70-unit net zero sustainable apartments in Seattle’s Capital Hill neighborhood.
This is a very walkable neighborhood so you can easily get to restaurants, transportation, and shops by foot without the need to own a car.
The builders are offering studio apartments (461 sq. ft.), 1 bedrooms (599 sq. ft.), and 2 bedrooms with loft options for each. In addition, they each get private balconies and access to a rooftop deck for views of downtown.
Sustainable design features of the apartment building include meeting LEED Gold certification standards, reverse cycle air-to-water chillers to heat hot water, reflective roofing, LED lighting throughout, Energy Star appliances inside, and passive cooling design.

When this writer was seeking for a peaceful retreat he already knew he wanted a tiny writer’s cabin.
So he sought the services of a Norwegian architecture firm Jarmund/Vigsnæs to design a one of a kind geometric writing cottage on the hillside.
There are two areas of the cabin… The living space inside which consists of a desk, fireplace, open area, and a day bed. Then there is the outdoor space surrounded by three walls which also serves as the entrance to the cabin.

Earlier I showed you the astronomical cabins at Hotel Elqui Domos which are in the same location I’m showing you these astronomical domes for star gazing.
Right now I want to focus in on these awesome dome cabins that can sleep up to four people. Inside you’ll find a fireplace, heater, bunk beds, living area with plenty of seating, kitchenette area, and a full bathroom for your convenience.

When Hotel Elqui Domos in Elqui, Chile wanted to renovate their seven astronomical domes and add several astronomical cabins for their star gazing guests they hired Rodrigo Duque Motta Architects for the job.
The cabins are definitely NOT tiny, and hardly small, at approximately 1765 sq. ft. each. But I still thought the design was inspiring and could be used for inspiration on a smaller scale. And the existing dome renovations are in fact small (and both are just awesome), as you’ll get to see below.

This viVood prefab tiny house assembles in one day. And one great part about it is that you don’t need to lay a foundation prior to assembling on your site.
So if you were ever to move it, or remove it from your land, it would leave that area as it was before. Right now there are a handful of these units at Marjal Costa Blanca resort in Spain.
Since they are prefabricated they’re relatively easy to assemble and you can ship several units on one truck in case you wanted or needed to. You can see how they’re built and assembled in the photos and video down below.
