Make It Small - Small House

I have created a space-efficient, environmentally friendly small home that can fit a family of three or four.

The home is made of recycled metals and plastics for insulation and will also need solar panels and multiple large sheets of glass for the sunroof and large windows. But for the model, I used a 3D printer with white filament, mirror acrylic board and white acrylic board cut with a laser cutter.

The home has two very similar structures that make up the floors, walls, and ceiling, this is the shell. The shells are aligned so a staircase could go through the floor of on and the ceiling of another.

The walls are made to fit inside the holes in the sides of the shell. Two of the walls out of the four are made entirely of glass. The other two have cutouts that fit the windows and doors. Two rounded square-shaped windows are in the front of the house with a door in the middle. On the back is a singular window on the right side of the house and a back door next to it. The doors are made entirely of glass to ensure maximum light can illuminate the home.

While the walls are being fitted you can also put in the staircase to travel between floors. Special cabinets can fit under the stairs for more storage space.

The house can run on a small amount of electricity; the second floor has massive windows allowing for a lot of natural light. A sunroof is fitted and the innovative placement of solar panels is made into the roof allowing for additional green energy. The home is also made with many recycled materials mixed with new materials to ensure both strength and environmental mindfulness. The insulation is also made with recycled materials.
