Looking for a soft and cozy home?

Not everyone wants to live in a sprawling mansion. Just thinking of the heating and cooling costs alone might make you shudder.

If you prefer a cozier abode, you might want to check out:

tinyhouse.blog.com


The popular blog features numerous distinctive, small homes as well as information about design.



As noted on the blog, "The goal of the tiny house blog is to discover the different options available for a person looking to down size into a tiny house or cabin. I will be looking at different type of construction, from logs, to yurts to modern and the unusual. I will also do book reviews, look at alternate energy for heat and electricity. I also want to hear your story so please contact me with your pictures and your own experiences in living simply and small."

Also featured on this site and in the December 2011 issue of Details magazine is the house below, the ONE+ mini house designed by Danish architect Lars Frank Nielsen.


This 161-square-foot modular house is energy efficient and can be added onto as needed.
