Dr Mike Page, the originator of the The Cube Project, is giving you a tour in the ultra-compact eco-home in which one person could live a comfortable life with minimum impact on the environment.
Constructed from a variety of sustainable materials, the Cube provides everything that a single person (or two friendly people) might need.
Within its 27 cubic metres it includes a lounge, with a table and two custom-made chairs, a small double bed (120cm wide), a full-size shower, a kitchen (with energy-efficient fridge, induction hob, re-circulating cooker hood, sink/drainer, combination microwave oven and storage cupboards), a washing machine, and a composting toilet.
Lighting is achieved by ultra-efficient LED lights, and the Cube is heated using an Ecodan air-source heat pump, with heat being recovered from extracted air. It has cork flooring and there is two-metre head height throughout.

I live in France and 27m2 is a big space...I know of lots of people living comfortably in less..There are books on the market about dealing with tiny spaces. Its all about organizing.

basically a small, upwards apartment. this would actually be less efficient because they are not stackable.

Better idea. We become a 3rd world country and live in the forest. Or even better! No humans at all!

and let me guess - Dr. Page will watch suckers cough up the dough for this from the 60 inch flat screen in his 5000 sq ft house.

eh. Might be an all right trailer...but it said it's only got a 2 meter head height, which rules me out.
