Rather aesthetic, rather than ascetic, compact hut can and tiny SUV, but inside hides much more amenities.
Welcome to the compact micro-cottage - the future palace with an area of ​​7 square meters, designed by a professor at the Technical University of Munich, Richard Horden, as an answer to the growing demand for temporary housing.

It is not easy dressed shack: micro-cottage - BMW among small houses. Having paid $ 96,000 for a cube (including delivery and installation to any place in Europe), the owner receives a complete interior equipped with everything necessary - from a flat-screen TV to a dining table with seats for five. In the future, solar panels and a roof mounted wind turbine with a vertical axis will generate 2,200 kilowatts of energy per year, so the house will provide itself and the owner with energy.
Aluminum bimetallic housing can and slightly scares the outside, but all that is really interesting is inside. “This is a home for people who love interiors,” says Horden. "All the surfaces inside the house are functional - like a control system of a car or an airplane."
Since the end of 2005, students of the Technical University of Munich and the state have lived in the first settlement of seven micro-houses; a settlement of 16 houses was created in a place near Vienna, Austria. “There is no longer any reason to have huge living spaces,” says Gregory Paul Johnson, director of the Small House Society , a public organization based in Iowa, USA. “In the end, today, your entire media collection can fit in one iPod.”
Furniture is no longer needed. Compact micro cottage interior includes:
1. Fire alarm and smoke detectors;
2. Retractable table, with seating for five people;
3. Two beds, 228 centimeters in length (bedding above the dining table and a retractable bed at floor level);
4. Shelves and dressers for storing clothes, bedding, junk for cleaning, equipment and other things;
5. The control panel with the control of all electrics: heating, air conditioning, TV, CD player, LED lighting;
6. Bathroom with a retractable screen that separates the toilet and shower, plus an area for drying clothes and shoes;
7. Kitchen equipped with microwave, fridge / freezer, sink, waste collection, two-level work surface.
