Because life is very expensive in Manhattan (where apartments rent for an average of $3,600 per month) Felice Cohen chose a studio that measures just 12 feet by 7 fee and now she can afford to live there . She pays just over $700 for her 90-square-foot microstudio.

“I think a lot of people have a lot of space that they’re not using. I grew up in a place where my bedroom was 17 feet by 17 feet with two walk-in closets that combined where almost the size of this apartment that when I go home now I go in the closet just to feel like I’m back in New York.”

If you need an independent space from day to day house activities, a little space for reading, playing, listening to music, etc the project that I am going to present next is perfect.

Designed by architect Alberto Gonzalez, the small shelter is easy to make, cheap and will make you as well as your children stay more in the garden.

Also this kind of shelters could be used as kiosks/shops on a beach. Imagine this full with cold beer or ice-cream!

Remember the hobbit houses? This is the deluxe version. Situated in the Swiss village of Vals, deep in the mountains, the house is very hard to see, making it a perfect place for hiding .

The amazing architecture plan comes from SeARCH and Christian Muller Architects. The houseincludes all the facilities such as a guest room, an entertainment area, but also an underground pathway.

Iceland is a country with amazing nature and although the climate is cold the nature is beautiful all year long. Because the country has very few inhabitants compared to other places the houses usually are quite isolated and peaceful. Hof is one of those houses and it is situated in the Skakafjördur fjord, less than 100km from the Arctic Circle.

Due to the grass on the roof and the massive concrete walls the house is insulated and thermally stable.Geothermal water is used for the floor heating and radiators as well as for all domestic use. Electricity is made from hydroelectric and geothermal sources.

Well…I can say that this is a dream house and I would love to live there!

If you are always on the move I think the concept called “Bubble House” which was developed by MMAs students of architecture, Patricia Muniz and G. Luciano Alfaya, and the artist Chas Cyprian, could be foe YOU.

The Bubble measures 2 X 2 X 2 meters and is offering enough room for a small kitchen, laundry and lighting. It is a compact and flexible house can be transported like a suitcase.You can store your clothes in the walls which functions as a closet.

Great idea if you are a nomadic life lover, this hygienic and comfortable home living will satisfy you wherever you are.
