It's been awhile since my last post, partly due to the fact that I've seen little that moved me. Until now. This 352 square foot design by Honomobo of Canada is exquisite, don't you think? Overall dimensions (in feet) are 16x24. It's made from two 8x40 shipping containers, cut down.

They don't come much less pretentious than this. The unadorned aesthetic is achieved by setting the prefabricated unit atop an owner commissioned poured concrete foundation, which in this case doubles as a garage.

I love a simple floor plan. Honomobo's HO2 nails it.

Maybe it's not everyone's taste, but the clean, sleek, minimalist design and sensibility speak to me. Unfortunately they say "Where's the closet?" That problem's easily solved by throwing a free-standing wardrobe or two anywhere you please though, allowing the occupants to choose the closet location, and to change it whenever desired.

The kitchen has elegant clean lines, lots of storage, a full size fridge, two burner cooktop, and a pantry.

The wall of glass floods the interior with light, connects the occupants with the outdoors, and creates a sense of spaciousness.

The owners of this unit chose a unique piece of furniture that converts from desk to bed, and vice versa, doubling the utility of the space. Search "desk bed combo" to find pieces similar to this from various vendors.

The bathroom maintains the clean, sleek, modern theme, has it's own window, and leads to a closet that houses utilities including stacked washer and dryer units, the hot water tank, and the electrical panel.

Heating cooling, and hot water are supplied by an efficient air source heat pump. The company claims the units are ready for photovoltaic power and have net positive potential.
