10 Smallest House in the World

1. Tumbleweed House



Since 1997, Jay Shafer of the Tumbleweed Tiny House Company has been living in homes smaller than most people's closets. Though tiny, these cozy, cabin-esque home designs somehow  fit everything you need inside them: a workspace, bedroom, bathroom (with toilet and shower) and living space. Some designs include a porch so the homeowner can sit out and enjoy the open spaces.


2. Micro Compact Home



Measuring only 2.6m cubed, Micro Compact Homes somehow manage to include room for two double beds, a bathroom, lobby, dining space for 4-5 people, a kitchen and top-notch entertainment technology. It's enough to make you want to stay inside.


3. Toronto's Little House



Tucked between it's normal-sized neighbors, this miniature is not the smallest in the world, but it's likely the smallest one in Toronto, Canada. Boasting a mere 312 square-feet of space, the Little House has garnered cult-liked interest sine going on the market recently. Celebrity Ellen Degeneres has expressed interest in one day owning the tiny home.


4. Rollit Homes



Students at the University of Karlsruhe n Germany designed these chic modular homes, which are built to incorporate multiple uses inside one small living space. The home functions like a mouse on a wheel; the homeowner can change the structure of the house by walking in the center to rotate it. With just a little bit of daily exercise, the unit can be turned to reveal a bed, lounge chair, table, shower, toilet or a kitchen sink -  all in the space.


5. Eco Bike Trailer



Paul Elkins originally designed this bike trailer to get around the Burning Man Festival. There's only space for one, and if you need to use the restroom, you'll have to resort to the great outdoors, but it is fully powered by a wind turbine and comes equipped with a solar-powered oven and heating system. In a space this small, you might not need anything more than your own body heat.



6. Smallest House in  Great Britain



Also known as the Quay House, the Smallest House in Britain is a tourist attraction in Conwy, Wales. Measuring only 10 feet by 6 feet, it lives up to its name. Until 1990, the home was once occupied by a 6-foot, 3-inch fisherman. It's hard to believe there was enough room left over for a stove, water tap, bedside cabinet and a bed.


7. Twelve Cubed Mini Home



According to Twelve Cubed designers, these tiny homes feature a dishwasher, microwave and modern oven combo, bathroom, closet and plenty of natural light. The mission behind the homes is to allow more people to live more sustainably, but the cute design is a temptation in an of itself.


8. Nano House



Created to help solve the world's global housing crisis, these 25 square-meter homes are designed to house a family of four. Nano Living System homes are also equipped with state-or-the-art insulation and passive solar heating for energy savings. The rooms are convertible to make the most of the tiny space.



9. Tiny Texas Houses



Not everything is bigger in Texas. Tiny Texas Houses, based in Luling, Texas is a company 'building the future with the fast'. Each of the tiny houses is made from recycled salvage materials. As the company says on the website: "After a generation of having it all and wasting so much, perhaps it is time to consider keeping it small and preserving what we have before we waste more of our limited resources".


10. Single Hauz



Like an inhabitable billboard, the Single Hauz – by Poland's front architect– proposes cantilevering domestic living space from a central mast. The house can then be installed above a variety of ground conditions, from the middle of a meadow to an urban core.
