Is micro-living the next big thing?  Is a smaller footprint home the green building wave of the future?  Will people be able to handle living in a complete home that is smaller than most people’s family room?

The folks at Canada’s 12-cubed certainly think so.  They’ve envision these teensy dwellings to be used as a guest house, rental unit or studio.  Though these little houses can stand alone – they’re intended to be constructed adjacent to an existing home – so they can utilize the power, water and sewage systems of the larger structure.  They offer two models consisting of the 10×10 Pure (1,200 cubic feet) and the 12×12 Cappuccino (1,400 cubic feet) – both constructed of FSC Certified lumber and designed to be mounted on a block foundation.

The layouts feature a shower, toilet, bedroom, kitchen and living area – best thing, the little houses clock in at an average price of $24,500 CDN.
