Zero Is The New One
the zero house… pretty cool, some features:
- Off the power grid, no energy bill: uses solar energy with power to last a week with no sunlight.
- Only 650 square feet, but it includes 2 bedrooms, a full bathroom, living room, kitchen, storage, heating & air conditioning, and decks.
- Rainwater is collected, holding up to 22 000 gallons.
- Closed cell foam insulation.
- Compost unit underneath collects waste with ventilation through the roof.
- House is built onto the ground using helical anchors.



What I’d really like is a teleportable house! It would be invisible, and could teleport in personal enviroments… so that although it may seem you are sleeping outside, it will feel like you are inside and protected from all the elements. So really it would be kind of like an invisible house suit. And all your waste would be teleported out of you, food into you, dirt disintegrated, and it would be powered by happy thoughts.
But until then I guess this’ll have to do…
