In the spirit of treading a bit lighter on the planet, a new trend in sustainable living architecture is called "microgreen living"-literally the creation of tiny homes where people challenge themselves to live "greener" lives. Far beyond solar panels and the use of sustainable materials, homeowners have embraced the concept and have implemented many creative solutions. TINY HOUSES brings together an international collection of over thirty prefab homes and concepts under 1,000 square feet. The book presents conceptual building plans, detailed illustrations, and vivid photographs of the homes, architects, and proud enthusiasts who live in them.
With "McMansions” increasingly giving way to "tiny” houses, the desire to downsize and be more ecologically and economically prudent is a concept many are beginning to embrace. Focusing on dwelling spaces all under 1,000 square feet, TINY HOUSES (Rizzoli, April 2009) by Mimi Zeiger aims to challenge readers to take a look at their own homes and consider how much space they actively use. Ranging from tree houses to floating houses, TINY HOUSES features an international collection of over thirty modular and prefab homes, each one embodying "microgreen living”, defined as the creation of tiny homes where people challenge themselves to live "greener” lives. By using a thoughtful application of green living principles, renewable resources for construction, and clever ingenuity, these homes exemplify sustainable living at its best.
