Overall I like the idea, but no information on a potential cost seems like a huge red flag to me.

Whites are the only people crazy enough to get into this stuff.

Dr. Page estimates that it would cost £50,000 ($80,000) to replicate

I can see the Japanese digging on this. They have those little coffin hotels and their apartments aren't much larger than that.

despite all my rage, I am still just a rat in a cage.

80 thousand dollars??? seriously? You can get at least a 1 bedroom apartment for that price here.

That's the problem with these projects. They're great and all, but the people who could really benefit from them, don't have that kind of money, or are not stupid enough to spend their money like that.

Although I'm pretty sure almost half of the price is because of the photovoltaic panels. They're pretty expensive.

$80k... what a joke

That must be some damn amazing water system.

Of course, you could always just build a tiny house yourself for whatever you think it should cost.

When passing through any doorways in the cube be sure to check the numbers in the frame contain no prime powers, or try throwing a boot ahead of you, just in case.

I love the space-saving features. I could totally see myself living in something like that.

Really couldn't care less about all the 'green' features though.

I suppose it has more comforts than other cube-style dwellings, but I still don't want to live there.

I'm pretty sure a few years back this or similar 10'x10'x10'(3x3x3) project was demoed in NYC...can't seem to find a link now

i call mine a shed and it costs less than 1500 dollars. the trouble with "green" technology is its retarded expensive

im sure if you had that same house, but had a regular ass toilet, a regular ass stove, a regular ass fridge, a regular ass heat/ac unit, and regular ass lights, windows, doors and everything else, itd probably run ya 5000-8000 dollars. you'd be an asshole for having a house with no green technology (god forbid!!) but youd be an asshole with a house that costs less than a dirtbike


......having said that, this house is still rad tho

I am more impressed by Passivhaus and similar standards which, while not reducing your footprint to neutral, still drastically reduce your energy use without raising your construction costs to such insane heights. Passivhaus standards scale effectively from a crazy hippy hut like this to a large office building or apartment complex.

I lived in one of these for a number of years. It was called a dorm room. And I ain't gonna live in one again.

Not digging the layout at all. Mainly the uncomfortable sitting area and bizarrely-placed television.

A lot of people in America would need the 20X20X20, is it in order?

I also wonder how the ventilation is? I could see it getting pretty rancid in there, but, maybe I'm just a rancid sort of guy.

Make it a 20'x20'x20' ,drop all the expensive green stuff, give me a seat facing the tv, and a place to hook a computer up and I'd live there.
