Now that we are finally realising that we are overcrowding the world, polluting it, and kind of crapping all over it, everybody's beginning to do their bit. (Mr Jackson from down the street is only hosing down his driveway once a week now!) And if you're really keen on doing the right thing (and being smug as fuck too) you can live in a teeny tiny house.
Architects are designing small scale homes that are not just space conscious, and energy conscious, but also morally conscious. Check out some of the rad designs in the gallery, found at wired.com with more information and images at modulardwellings.com.
Not that I'm condoning rich, social-conscience-free, arseholes living with their two miniature Poodles in 10 bedroom mansions; but you'd have to only own approximately two books, one carton of milk and half a pair of jeans to live there. Or be Noddy.
