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.

Loft Cube is a modern prefab house that can be placed in the rooftop of big buildings because the space in the cities is becoming so limited. The small house can be assembled in 2-4 days and the buyer’s can be customized the interior and exterior as they needs.

I think it is a great idea but you can choose to put it on the mountains for example, or in a forest or maybe on the beach. It could be nice to wake up in the morning surrounded by nature!

House SB designed by Bevk Perovic Arhitekti is a very modern suburban home and is located in Ljubljana, Slovenia. The house is characterized by two separate parts, overlapping and framing a small garden area.

The street facade of this house is made from wood planks, providing the homeowners privacy from the street, which runs relatively close to the house. But this design is quite open when viewed from within.

The interior features large windows that are opening onto the beautiful surroundings. The bedroom area is situated on the lower main floor, where is more quiet.

I really like how the interior stairs look like and their red color in contrast with white.

Building a house is of course very expensive but you should know that you can build an earth house with little money.

A young couple in Wales with an annual income of just $10,000 built their own cheap earth house mostly out of materials from “a rubbish pile somewhere.”

The couple even have a website where they show us details of their plans, pictures and how you can really built an Earth House for under $5000.
