Alekz Londos has delivered the new and improved version of the Micro Tiny Home! By the way, it has been the CleanTechnica audience that made all this possible with their donations and input.

As for why it’s called the Spite House? Seattle’s Spite House was originally constructed … [continued]
Extreme customization usually goes hand in glove with award-winning architecture, but in the case of Daniel Yudchitz’s low-budget Essential House, a modest set of ready-built, plug-n-play solar panels is making all the waves. The solar-powered house has just been named a recipient of an American Institute of Architecture Honor Award, and … [continued]
