Microhouse Den jahrelangen Darlehenszahlungen für seine Wohnung, dem Dialog mit der Bank und dem ständigen Umsatzzwang müde, machte sich Oliver Redl aus Rankweil in Österreich auf die Suche nach einer effektiven und günstigen Lösung zum Bau des eigenen Hauses nach Maß. Zusammen mit dem Architekten Robert Schmid begann die Konzeption eines Hauses, das Abstriche in Punkto räumlichen Anspruch beim Wohnen direkt in Unabhängigkeit und höhere Lebensqualität ummünzt. Oberste Priorität beim Bau war das Erreichen eines niedirgen Gesamtpreises, gefolgt von modernem und effizientem Design, Mobilität, Erweiterbarkeit sowie der Option zur Selbstmontage. Schnell stellte sich heraus, daß nicht die Minimalisierung eines herkömmlichen Hausmodells sondern der Erweiterung und Modernisierung des Gartenhaus-prinzips der beste Weg ist, den Preis klein zu halten. Die größten der von Oliver R. entworfenen Modelle bieten eine Fläche von 36m².

You Can Buy Shipping Container 'Tiny Homes' On Amazon Shipping containers have recently found a new and potentially world-changing purpose. Given that they are simple, can be built to human proportion, and possess great structural integrity, they are a good option for what is called a “liveable unit.” The company who developed them is called MODS International and they’ve created a livable unit inside a shipping container so that anyone is able to order one on Amazon and have it easily delivered to them. The units themselves are not built from recycled containers. Instead, they are brand new ones. Just in case you are worried about what was inside your house. Each unit includes a kitchen, a small living area, a bathroom, and a bedroom that can host up to 4 people with bunk beds. According to the website, the MODS are built to code so you don’t have to worry about breaking any regulations.
